Catalog V2

Manage and browse catalog resources.

Use the incident.io catalog to track services, teams, product features and anything else that helps build a map of your organisation. These different categories of thing become catalog types, and each instance (like a particular service or team) is a catalog entry.

Each type is made up of a series of attributes, and each attribute has a type. Types can even have attributes that refer to other catalog types.

We automatically create catalog types when you connect an integration, such as GitHub repositories or PagerDuty services and teams. You can use this API to create custom types, that are specifically tailored to your organisation.

Examples might be a 'Service' type with an 'Alert channel' which you can point at a Slack channel, or 'Team' which specifies its 'Manager' and 'Technical Lead' as Slack users. You can then use these types to create powerful new workflows.

UpdateTypeSchema Catalog V2
Update an existing catalog types schema, adding or removing attributes.


Updating the schema is handled separately from creating and updating types, so that you don't
have to worry about dependencies between types. For example, if type A has an attribute that
relies on type B, you would have to create type B first.


By allowing the creation of types without a schema, they can be created in any order, but it
means that you need to make a separate call to this endpoint to update the schema.
