Incidents V2

List all incidents for an organisation.

This endpoint supports a number of filters, which can help find incidents matching certain criteria.

Filters are provided as query parameters, but due to the dynamic nature of what you can query by (different accounts have different custom fields, statuses, etc) they are more complex than most.

To help, here are some exemplar curl requests with a human description of what they search for.

Note that:

• Filters may be used together, and the result will be incidents that match all filters.
• IDs are normally in UUID format, but have been replaced with shorter strings to improve readability.
• All query parameters must be URI encoded.

By status

With status of id=ABC, find all incidents that are set to that status:

    curl --get 'https://api.incident.io/v2/incidents' \
        --data 'status[one_of]=ABC'

Or all incidents that are not set to status with id=ABC:

    curl --get 'https://api.incident.io/v2/incidents' \
        --data 'status[not_in]=ABC'

By created_at or updated_at

Find all incidents that follow specified date parameters for created_at and updated_at fields. Possible values are "gte" (greater than or equal to) and "lte" (less than or equal to). The following example finds all incidents created before or on 2021-01-02T00:00:00Z:

    curl --get 'https://api.incident.io/v2/incidents' \
        --data 'created_at[lte]=2021-01-02'

By status category

Find all incidents that are in a status category. Possible values are "triage", "declined", "merged", "canceled", "live", "learning" and "closed":

    curl --get 'https://api.incident.io/v2/incidents' \
        --data 'status_category[one_of]=live'

Or all incidents that are not in a status category:

    curl --get 'https://api.incident.io/v2/incidents' \
        --data 'status_category[not_in]=live'

By severity

With severity of id=ABC, find all incidents that are set to that severity:

    curl --get 'https://api.incident.io/v2/incidents' \
        --data 'severity[one_of]=ABC'

Or all incidents where severity rank is greater-than-or-equal-to the rank of severity id=ABC:

    curl --get 'https://api.incident.io/v2/incidents' \
        --data 'severity[gte]=ABC'

Or all incidents where severity rank is less-than-or-equal-to the rank of severity id=ABC:

    curl --get 'https://api.incident.io/v2/incidents' \
        --data 'severity[lte]=ABC'

By incident type

With incident type of id=ABC, find all incidents that are of that type:

    curl --get 'https://api.incident.io/v2/incidents' \
        --data 'incident_type[one_of]=ABC'

Or all incidents not of that type:

    curl --get 'https://api.incident.io/v2/incidents' \
        --data 'incident_type[not_in]=ABC'

By incident mode

By default, we return standard and retrospective incidents. This means that test and tutorial incidents are filtered out. To override this behaviour, you can use the mode filter to specify which modes you want to get.

To find incidents of all modes:

    curl --get 'https://api.incident.io/v2/incidents' \
        --data 'mode[one_of]=standard&mode[one_of]=retrospective&mode[one_of]=test&mode[one_of]=tutorial'

To find just test incidents:

    curl --get 'https://api.incident.io/v2/incidents' \
        --data 'mode[one_of]=test'

By incident role

Roles and custom fields have another nested layer in the query parameter, to account for operations against any of the roles or custom fields created in the account.

With incident role id=ABC, find all incidents where that role is unset:

    curl --get 'https://api.incident.io/v2/incidents' \
        --data 'incident_role[ABC][is_blank]=true'

Or where the role has been set:

    curl --get 'https://api.incident.io/v2/incidents' \
        --data 'incident_role[ABC][is_blank]=false'

By option custom fields

With an option custom field id=ABC, all incidents that have field ABC set to the custom field option of id=XYZ:

    curl \
        --get 'https://api.incident.io/v2/incidents' \
        --data 'custom_field[ABC][one_of]=XYZ'

Or all incidents that do not have custom field id=ABC set to option id=XYZ:

    curl \
        --get 'https://api.incident.io/v2/incidents' \
        --data 'custom_field[ABC][not_in]=XYZ'

Create a new incident.

Note that if the incident mode is set to "retrospective" then the new incident will not be announced in Slack.

Get a single incident.

The ID supplied can be either the incident's full ID, or the numeric part of its reference. For example, to get INC-123, you could use either its full ID or:

    curl \
        --get 'https://api.incident.io/v2/incidents/123

Edit an existing incident.

This endpoint allows you to edit the properties of an existing incident: e.g. set the severity or update custom fields.

When using this endpoint, only fields that are provided will be edited (omitted fields will be ignored).
