If the n query parameter is supplied and additional changes exist
that match the query beyond the end, the last change object has a
_more_changes: true JSON field set.
The S or start query parameter can be supplied to skip a number
of changes from the list.
Clients are allowed to specify more than one query by setting the q
parameter multiple times. In this case the result is an array of
arrays, one per query in the same order the queries were given in.

-
DETAILED_LABELS: detailed label information, including numeric values of all existing approvals, recognized label values, values permitted to be set by the current user, and reviewers that may be removed by the current user.

Get Patch
'GET /changes/{change-id}/revisions/{revision-id}/patch'
Gets the formatted patch for one revision.
GET /changes/myProject~master~I8473b95934b5732ac55d26311a706c9c2bde9940/revisions/current/patch HTTP/1.0

Adding query parameter zip (for example /changes/…/patch?zip)
returns the patch as a single file inside of a ZIP archive. Clients
can expand the ZIP to obtain the plain text patch, avoiding the
need for a base64 decoding step. This option implies download.
Query parameter download (e.g. /changes/…/patch?download)
will suggest the browser save the patch as commitsha1.diff.base64,
for later processing by command line tools.
Get Mergeable

List Files
'GET /changes/{change-id}/revisions/{revision-id}/files/'
Lists the files that were modified, added or deleted in a revision.

The request parameter reviewed changes the response to return a list
of the paths the caller has marked as reviewed. Clients that also
need the FileInfo should make two requests.
The request parameter q changes the response to return a list
of all files (modified or unmodified) that contain that substring
in the path name. This is useful to implement suggestion services
finding a file by partial name.

Get Content
'GET /changes/{change-id}/revisions/{revision-id}/files/{file-id}/content'
Gets the content of a file from a certain revision.
GET /changes/myProject~master~I8473b95934b5732ac55d26311a706c9c2bde9940/revisions/674ac754f91e64a0efb8087e59a176484bd534d1/files/gerrit-server%2Fsrc%2Fmain%2Fjava%2Fcom%2Fgoogle%2Fgerrit%2Fserver%2Fproject%2FRefControl.java/content HTTP/1.0
The content is returned as base64 encoded string. The HTTP response
Content-Type is always text/plain, reflecting the base64 wrapping.
A Gerrit-specific X-FYI-Content-Type header is returned describing
the server detected content type of the file.
If only the content type is required, callers should use HEAD to avoid downloading the encoded file contents.
HTTP/1.1 200 OK Content-Disposition: attachment Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 X-FYI-Content-Encoding: base64 X-FYI-Content-Type: text/xml Ly8gQ29weXJpZ2h0IChDKSAyMDEwIFRoZSBBbmRyb2lkIE9wZW4gU291cmNlIFByb2plY...
Alternatively, if the only value of the Accept request header is
application/json the content is returned as JSON string and
X-FYI-Content-Encoding is set to json.
