GitLab: how to get the label added date by GitLab API

I'm using GitLab 15.3.1 version and I'd like to obtain, using GitLab API, the label added date for a project issue.

This information is available from GitLab web browser interface as shown below

enter image description here

Is there any way to obtain that "11/10/2022 2.44pm" via API for that issue?

Thank you in advance

Solution

  • You can get Label events for a single Issue with the List project issue label events API.

    Here's an example using this Issue:

    curl --header 'Authorization: Bearer xxxTOKENxxx' https://gitlab.com/api/v4/projects/278964/issues/378378/resource_label_events | jq '.'
