Missing API endpoint in the Docs

#1

Hey it looks like list response plays endpoint is missing from docs. It does exist though as i have been able to use it.

#2

We sometimes choose to purposefully not document certain aspects of, and limits to our API endpoints, for the purpose of ensuring customers not relying on what would be stated there – if an endpoint is not listed in the public docs, that means it could be changed or revised and we’d prefer that customers not consider that part of the reference as a source of truth.

Sure Tom. Just an FYI you have Run a Response Play in the docs and that requires the response_play_id. I was only able to find that id by examining the URL link for the response play in the UI (which I suspect is not the intended approach) or by running get /response_plays/. so the run API is pretty much useless with out the accompanying “List Response Plays”. Should I assume that both response play apis not intended for customer use yet or is it an oversight that run was released with out list?

Hi Justin - we’re providing the Run A Play endpoint for users that really need to automate the running of them, and don’t have the breadth of API support yet for browsing/listing/etc. As you suggested, the current best way to get a response play ID is by grabbing it from the URL when browsing the PagerDuty web application. We’ll also be adding a more straightforward way to grab play IDs from the web app - stay tuned!

ok thanks for the heads up. For the time being I will not expose the list response plays capability in our service, but will enable run a response play.

Hi Justin,

Sounds good!

I’ll go ahead and close out this ticket, and if you have any other questions, feel free to reply to this email or write in to support@pagerduty.com.
