Award emoji API (FREE)

An awarded emoji tells a thousand words.

We call GitLab objects on which you can award an emoji "awardables". You can award emojis on the following:

Epics (API). (PREMIUM)
Issues (API).
Merge requests (API).
Snippets (API).

Emojis can also be awarded on comments (also known as notes). See also Notes API.

Issues, merge requests, and snippets

See Award Emoji on Comments for information on using these endpoints with comments.
