List Incidents

List existing incidents.

An incident represents a problem or an issue that needs to be addressed and resolved.

For more information see the API Concepts Document.

Basic Parameters

ParameterDescription
IncludeArray of additional details to include.
Sort ByUsed to specify both the field you wish to sort the results on (incident_number/created_at/resolved_at/urgency), as well as the direction (asc/desc) of the results. The sort_by field and direction should be separated by a colon. A maximum of two fields can be included, separated by a comma. Sort direction defaults to ascending. The account must have the urgencies ability to sort by the urgency.
StatusesReturn only incidents with the given statuses. (More status codes may be introduced in the future.).
UrgenciesUrgencies of the incidents to be returned.
Defaults to all urgencies. Account must have the urgencies ability to do this.

Advanced Parameters

ParameterDescription
Date RangeWhen set to all, the since and until parameters and defaults are ignored.
Incident KeyIncident de-duplication key. Incidents with child alerts do not have an incident key; querying by incident key will return incidents whose alerts have alert_key matching the given incident key.
LimitThe number of results per page.
OffsetOffset to start pagination search results.
Service IDsReturns only the incidents associated with the passed service(s). This expects one or more service IDs.
SinceThe start of the date range over which you want to search. Maximum range is 6 months and default is 1 month.
Team IDsA comma separated list of team IDs. Only results related to these teams will be returned.
Account must have the teams ability to use this parameter.
Time ZoneTime zone in which dates in the result will be rendered.
TotalBy default the total field in pagination responses is set to null to provide the fastest possible response times. Set total to true for this field to be populated. See our Pagination Docs for more information.
UntilThe end of the date range over which you want to search. Maximum range is 6 months and default is 1 month.
User IDsReturns only the incidents currently assigned to the passed user(s). This expects one or more user IDs. Note: When using the assigned_to_user filter, you will only receive incidents with statuses of triggered or acknowledged. This is because resolved incidents are not assigned to any user.
