sortURL querystring; {"enum":["newest","oldest","name_asc","name_desc"]}NoStable order with the record ID as a tie breaker: newest, oldest, name_asc or name_desc.
typeURL querystringNoExact field filter; omit the parameter to include all values.
statusURL querystringNoExact field filter; omit the parameter to include all values.
severityURL querystringNoExact field filter; omit the parameter to include all values.

Retries and asynchronous work

This operation reads or validates without applying a resource mutation. Respect rate limits and credential lifetime.

Request examples

Replace demo IDs, timestamps and placeholders with your own values. For a retry, keep the same IDs, time and content. These examples do not run requests on this page.

Keep login links, codes, cookies and keys private. Do not print them in logs or share them in support requests.

  • HTTP API, OAuth and MCP

    Find the user API endpoints, their permissions, fields, examples and response formats.

  • POST Query local and archived history

    With prefer_local=true, safely complete local raw charts return immediately without a job. Other queries use an asynchronous job combining local and archived history. Charts return at most 1,000 points and tables at most 2,000 rows per page. Auto selects an appropriate resolution. Results include actual resolution, source, completeness, snapshot and gaps; state results also include validity_seconds. A table cursor is an owned completed-job UUID preserving measurement-time/point-ID ordering; jobs and cursors expire after one day. At most two active jobs per account. Original-value charts accept at most 1,000 expected points. Denser requests return HTTP 422 with code invalid_resolution, message_key errors.api.historyChartTooDense, and message_params.limit and message_params.interval_seconds. Use resolution=auto for a chart or mode=table with resolution=raw to page original values within retention.

  • DELETE Archive a series and close its alarm incidents

    Archive a series and close its alarm incidents.

  • PATCH Update a series name, description or expected interval

    Type, unit and labels are immutable after creation. Only the documented mutable fields can be changed.
