Link Business Services via API

#1

Hi,
https://developer.pagerduty.com/api-reference/f3bfe4c8d1de2-list-the-supporting-business-services-for-the-given-business-service-id-sorted-by-impacted-status
gives us a list of business services and their supporting services.
How can we set supporting services for a business service via the API?

This endpoint: https://developer.pagerduty.com/api-reference/3fb4a13b59634-associate-service-dependencies seems to only work for technical services, not for business services
Thanks!

Hi @fabian.haupt

The relationship is built the same way, except for the supporting_service you’ll change the type to business_service. Business services have the same sort of object IDs as other services, so the id field looks the same with either type.

data = {
    "relationships": [
        {
            "supporting_service": {
                "id": supporting_service,
                "type": "business_service"
            },
            "dependent_service": {
                "id": dependent_service,
                "type": "business_service"
            }
        }
    ]}

That will allow you to link business services together.
