## List of merge requests associated with a deployment

Not all deployments can be associated with merge requests. See
[Track what merge requests were deployed to an environment](../ci/environments/deployments.md#track-newly-included-merge-requests-per-deployment)
for more information.

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