# Get a merge queue's dependency graph

> Returns the queue's dependency graph: which pull requests the engine considers related, and why.

**This does not tell you what runs next.** The engine schedules on a priority that cascades backwards through the graph and on a pending-failure gate, and neither is in this payload — `priorityValue` here is each pull request's own value, not the cascaded one. For dispatch order use `GET /v2/merge-queues/{id}/order`.

Edges are transitively reduced, so an indirect dependency appears through the node between its endpoints rather than as its own edge. They mean overlapping impacted targets, not a stacked-branch relationship.

Only pull requests the engine has admitted to its graph appear: anything past the graph's soft cap, or not yet ready, is absent. `includeImpactedTargets` adds the target lists that explain each node and edge; it is off by default because populating it costs a lookup per distinct commit.



## OpenAPI

````yaml /openapi-v2.json get /v2/merge-queues/{id}/graph
openapi: 3.1.0
info:
  title: Trunk API
  version: 2.0.0
  description: >-
    The Trunk public API. Every endpoint is scoped to a single organization and
    requires a credential.


    ## Authentication


    For automation, send an API key as `Authorization: Bearer <key>`. An
    organization admin creates one in the Trunk app under **Settings → Developer
    → API Keys**, and chooses the permissions it holds. A key with no
    permissions can read merge queues but change nothing in them. Each write's
    description names the permission it needs, if any. Permissions cover merge
    queues and test-result uploads, including the quarantine lookups a CI run
    makes before it uploads; any key can call the other Flaky Tests and Dynamic
    CI endpoints, including their writes.


    A short-lived token in the `x-trunk-token` header is what Trunk's own tools
    send, such as the `trunk` CLI after `trunk auth login`. Your own
    integrations should use an API key.


    A GitHub Actions job can upload impacted targets with no Trunk secret: the
    `trunk-io/login` action exchanges the run's own GitHub credential (its OIDC
    token, or on a pull request from a fork its `GITHUB_TOKEN`) for a
    short-lived first-party token. That token is accepted only by `PUT
    /v2/impacted-targets`, for the run's own repository — and on a fork pull
    request, only for that pull request and its head sha.


    ## Errors


    Errors from the API are an `ErrorResponse`: `{ "error": { "code", "message"
    } }`. Switch on `code`, which is stable; `message` is prose and may change
    at any time.


    Some responses don't have this shape. Trunk's edge answers `401`, `403` for
    some credential problems (including a request with no credential), `429`,
    and gateway errors such as `503` before the request reaches the API. The API
    itself answers `413` for a body over 512 KB and `504` for a request that
    runs past its time limit (usually 5 seconds), both as plain text. Read
    `error.code` only when the body is JSON with an `error` object, and
    otherwise branch on the status code.


    **An authorization denial on a read is reported as `404`, not `403`** —
    whether a resource exists must not leak across organizations, so a resource
    in another organization is indistinguishable from one that does not exist.
    `403 INSUFFICIENT_PERMISSIONS` means the credential is valid but is not
    permitted the action (or carries no organization).


    Every response from the API carries an `X-Request-Id` header; edge responses
    may not. Quote it in support requests.


    ## Rate limiting


    Most requests share one limit per organization (currently 100 requests per
    second), across every API key, user, and CLI session in it. Some requests
    have limits of their own and don't count toward it: `GET` requests on paths
    that start with `/v2/pull-requests`, `/v2/ci-jobs`, `/v2/ci-workflow-runs`,
    or `/v2/ci-failure-clusters` (5 per second per API key or user); the merge
    queue metrics endpoints (5 per second per organization); impacted-target
    uploads from a GitHub Actions login (10 per second per repository, and
    separately for its fork pull requests); test-result uploads (1000 per second
    per organization) and quarantine lookups (250 per second per organization).
    Exceeding a limit returns `429`; retry with backoff. The limit is enforced
    at the edge, which does not yet wrap its `429` in the `ErrorResponse`
    envelope or send `Retry-After`, so treat any `429` as rate limiting
    regardless of body.


    ## Compatibility


    Within v2, Trunk may add: new endpoints, new **optional** response fields,
    new members to any enum (including new `code` values, new queue-entry
    states, and new providers), and new optional request parameters. **Clients
    must tolerate values and fields they do not recognize** rather than failing
    closed — a client that switches exhaustively over an enum will break when a
    member is added. Removals and semantic changes require a new major version.


    ## Provider support


    Merge queues, verification runs and checks are **GitHub-only** today;
    `Check.provider` has a single member for that reason. `PUT
    /v2/impacted-targets` accepts GitHub and GitLab repositories. A GitHub
    Actions login (the `trunk-io/login` action, or `trunk auth login
    --github-actions`) uploads only for its own GitHub repository. The
    `Provider` enum lists values the repository index can store, not surfaces
    that are fully supported.


    ## Not yet available


    A pull request's numeric **position** in its queue is not exposed, and list
    responses are not ordered by queue position. `GET
    /v2/merge-queues/{id}/order` returns the order the engine will consider pull
    requests in, but an array index there is not a wait: use a pending entry's
    `directlyAhead` rather than counting, and `GET
    /v2/pull-requests/{id}/queue-entry-estimate` for when it is expected to
    merge (on queues that serve estimates). This API delivers no events of its
    own — poll it, or subscribe to [Merge Queue's
    webhooks](https://docs.trunk.io/merge-queue/webhooks). `Idempotency-Key` is
    not yet honored, so a mutation that times out must be reconciled by reading
    the resource back rather than blindly retried.

      description: >-
        Returns the queue's dependency graph: which pull requests the engine

        **This does not tell you what runs next.** The engine schedules on a

        Edges are transitively reduced, so an indirect dependency appears

        Stable machine-readable error identifier. Switch on this, never on
        `message`. A shipped code's meaning never changes, but **new codes may
        be added within v2** — treat an unrecognized code as a generic failure
        of its HTTP status rather than failing closed.
      example: INTERNAL_ERROR
    QueueEntryState:
      type: string
      enum:
        - notReady
        - pending
        - testing
        - testsPassed
        - merged
        - failed
        - cancelled
        - pendingFailure
      description: >-
        Where a pull request sits in its queue's lifecycle.


        | Value | Meaning |

        | --- | --- |

        | `notReady` | Enqueued but not yet eligible to test — a readiness
        condition is unmet (see `QueueEntry.readiness`). |

        | `pending` | Ready and waiting for a test slot, or waiting on an
        earlier entry. |

        | `testing` | A verification run is in flight for this entry. |

        | `testsPassed` | Verification succeeded; waiting to merge. |

        | `merged` | Terminal — merged into the target branch. |

        | `failed` | Terminal — verification or the merge itself failed. |

        | `cancelled` | Terminal — removed from the queue (dequeued, or
        cancelled by the engine). |

        | `pendingFailure` | This entry's tests failed, and the queue is holding
        it to learn whether the failure is its own: it waits for the entries
        ahead of it to finish, and a passing run behind it can vouch for it. Not
        terminal: it can still pass and merge, return to `pending` or `testing`,
        or end `failed`. |


        New members may be added within v2.
      example: testing
  securitySchemes:
    apiKey:
      type: http
      scheme: bearer
      description: >-
        An API key, sent as `Authorization: Bearer <key>`. An organization admin
        creates one in the Trunk app under **Settings → Developer → API Keys**
        and chooses the permissions it holds. A key with none can read merge
        queues but change nothing in them. Permissions cover merge queues and
        test-result uploads, including the quarantine lookups a CI run makes
        before it uploads; any key can call the other Flaky Tests and Dynamic CI
        endpoints, including their writes.
    trunkToken:
      type: apiKey
      in: header
      name: x-trunk-token
      description: >-
        A short-lived token that Trunk's own tools send in the `x-trunk-token`
        header: the `trunk` CLI after `trunk auth login`, and the
        `trunk-io/login` action in a GitHub Actions run. Your own integrations
        should use an API key instead. Never send `Authorization` and
        `x-trunk-token` on the same request.


        **A token from a GitHub Actions run can only upload impacted targets**
        (`PUT /v2/impacted-targets`), for the repository the run belongs to;
        every other endpoint refuses it.
