Parameters and headers
| Field | Location | Type and limits | Required | Meaning |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| id | Path | string; {"format":"uuid"} | Yes | Resource ID in this workspace |
| table | URL query | string; {"enum":["1"]} | No | Set to 1 for a filtered cursor page; omitting table parameters preserves the original response. |
| q | URL query | string; {"maxLength":128} | No | Case-insensitive literal search in the documented text fields, applied before the page limit. |
| limit | URL query | integer; {"default":50,"maximum":100,"minimum":1} | No | Page size, 1–100; default 50. A following page exists only when another matching row is available. |
| cursor | URL query | string; {"maxLength":4096} | No | Opaque next_cursor from the preceding page. Keep resource, account, filters, sort and limit unchanged; collection cursors expire after 15 minutes. |
| sort | URL query | string; {"enum":["newest","oldest","name_asc","name_desc"]} | No | Stable order with the record ID as a tie breaker: newest, oldest, name_asc or name_desc. |
| status | URL query | string; {"enum":["queued","running","complete","failed","cancelled"]} | No | Exact field filter; omit the parameter to include all values. |
| kind | URL query | string | No | Exact field filter; omit the parameter to include all values. |
| job | URL query | string; {"pattern":"^(archive|analysis):[a-fA-F0-9-]{36}$"} | No | Open one of your jobs by its row key. |
| counts_only | URL query | string; {"enum":["1"]} | No | Return counts for the requested filter instead of table rows. Counts include search and other filters, excluding this filter selection, sorting and pagination. |
| count_filter | URL query | string; {"enum":["status","kind"]} | No | Declared table filter to count. Requires counts_only=1. |
| snapshot | URL query | string; {"format":"date-time"} | No | Optional snapshot from the corresponding table page. |

- GET List report schedules
Workspace SLOs use the aggregate availability series of HTTP, TCP, UDP, DNS, TLS, ping, service, domain and browser monitors. Unknown and unobserved time remain explicit; satisfaction is only proven by the lower availability bound. Ten SLOs and three report schedules are allowed per workspace. Calendar reports are immutable for 90 days. Email requires explicit owner opt-in and a verified destination, and shares the existing notification quota. Asynchronous jobs share four global slots and one per owner, can be cancelled and cannot cross workspace boundaries. Choose daily, weekly or monthly reports and a dispatch time (HH:MM) in an IANA timezone. Reports cover the previous local calendar day, Monday–Sunday week or month. Processing starts at that time; delivery may be later. During daylight-saving changes, a missing time moves to the next valid minute and a repeated time runs only once. Manual generation uses the last closed period regardless of the dispatch time.
