## List of merge requests associated with a deployment

> [Introduced](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/35739) in GitLab 12.7.

This API retrieves the list of merge requests shipped with a given deployment:

```plaintext
GET /projects/:id/deployments/:deployment_id/merge_requests
```

It supports the same parameters as the [Merge Requests API](merge_requests.md#list-merge-requests) and will return a response using the same format:

```shell
curl --header "PRIVATE-TOKEN: <your_access_token>" "https://gitlab.example.com/api/v4/projects/1/deployments/42"
```
