queryIncident  API

queryIncident API without "?limit=xxx" parameter in the endpoint by default returns 50 incidents. "?limit=xxx" parameter could not be higher than 500.

API POST call end point:

https://www.myshn.net/shnapi/rest/external/api/v1/queryIncidents?limit=500

The API returns 50 incidents by default if "?limit=500" parameter is not specified. The max number of incidents for the "limit" parameter is 500.

NOTE: You can enable the queryIncident API for users with the Incident Management role and the Read Only privilege starting with 6.2.1.

The following are some examples of the API body:

To query incidents of of specific types and categories that were listed by the queryIncidentGroups API (see above)

{
"startTime":"2020-01-01T00:00:00Z",
"incidentCriteria": {
"categories":[
{"incidentType":"Alert","category":"Policy"},
{"incidentType":"Alert","category":"Access"},
{"incidentType":"Alert","category":"Data"}
]
}
}

To query only Shadow incidents

{
"startTime":"2020-01-01T00:00:00Z",
"incidentCriteria": {
"product":"SHADOW"
}
}

To query only Sanctioned incidents

{
"startTime":"2020-01-01T00:00:00Z",
"incidentCriteria": {
"product":"SANCTIONED"
}
}

To query incidents of all categories of type Alert:

{
"startTime":"2020-01-01T00:00:00Z",
"incidentCriteria":{
"categories":[
{"incidentType":"Alert"}
]
}
}

To query all incidents of type Threat

{
"startTime":"2020-01-01T00:00:00Z",
"incidentCriteria":{
"categories":[
{"incidentType":"Threat"}
]
}
}

Example of response:

If number of incidents is higher then API returned, then "nextStartTime" timestamp from a response should be used as "startTime" timestamp in a payload for subsequent API call to get next specified numer of incidents
