Hi, Im trying to use the Gitlab API to simplify some development processes. My main use case is to write a script that creates an MR following a template (common fields so people don't have to write them over and over).
Im finding the API really cumbersome to use so I want to check if I missing something obvious. For example the create merge_requests API will return the ID, the IID and a lot of info about the author of the request but it wont return a HTTP access link to the MR request. To get a HTTP link that a user can use, I need to get the Group Name, Project Name and build the URL by hand. It can be done but to build the request I just made I used ids for all these components and now I need fetch the names because the web client will throw 404 if you use ids instead of the names (in the url). As far as I can tell all the GET request (Project, Group etc) don't return the HTTP links to them so if I write a script to list "all open MRs by user X" I need to get all Ids to make the requests and then get all names to build the Web link. Am I missing something obvious like a more info option on GET requests? PS: I understand that the API use case is independent of the WEB view. Maybe my use case is not as common as I think it is (I have scripts like this for most of my previous repos). Any help is appreciated!
