Can we get description and entity fields in Alert endpoint through LIST method itself?

[manoj_biradar]

I made API calls for Alert endpoint and observed something. When we make LIST call for listing alerts, in the response I observed entity and description fields are not available. We need to make GET call on each alert id to get these records. But just for these two fields I need to make call on each and every ids again. The number of API calls usage will be in huge every day which sometimes lead to rate limit. Why can't we get both these fields in List call only

Hi @manoj_biradar ,

The Alerts LIST API intentionally returns a lightweight response and does not include description and entity fields. Those details are only available via the GET alert by ID endpoint. This is a design choice to keep list responses fast and reduce payload size.

At the moment, there’s no way to include those fields in the LIST call, and there’s no query parameter to expand them. The only options are:

Make a GET call per alert when you need those fields, or

Reduce calls by filtering alerts at the LIST level (time window, status, teams, etc.)
