Incidents total is not correct

#1

When I make a request to https://api.pagerduty.com/incidents using version 2 api until yesterday it gave me the total number of incidents for that query. I could use that number to paginate through the list. Now if I set a limit=1 it tells me the total is 2. If I set limit=100 it tells me the total is 101.

Did something change?

It seems like something wonky happened with the offset parameter around the same time. For example, when I make a request to get all of our incidents created since August 1 with a limit of 100, I get 57 incidents. When I change the limit to 25 and set the offset to 25, I only get 1 incident. I would expect incidents 26-50.

Here’s an example of what I’m seeing with the requests library in Python:

>>> response = requests.get(
        'https://api.pagerduty.com/incidents',
        headers=headers,
        params={'since': '2017-08-01', 'limit': 100}
)
>>> len(response.json()['incidents'])
57
>>> response = requests.get(
        'https://api.pagerduty.com/incidents',
        headers=headers,
        params={'since': '2017-08-01', 'offset': 25, 'limit': 25}
)
>>> len(response.json()['incidents'])
1

Thanks

Hi Drew -

We’ve been working on improvements to the queries and API response time and just rolled additional changes this morning. We’re checking into this issue right now.

Hi Drew, Isaac -

The totals should now be reporting correct counts.
