Change the display date of an incident I created

Alexandre Sananikone

Hello,

 

I'm trying to modify the "display at" date of an incident I created, I know it's possible to to it from the web page with:

 

But I'm using the API to change it.

I work in python and I have a request like:

 

requests.patch("https://api.statuspage.io/v1/pages/" + page_id +"/incidents/" + incident_id + ".json?api_key=" + api_key + " &incident[display_at]=2016-12-06T08:48:40.375Z")

 

 The incident_id variable is an id of an update, in: incident["incident_updates"][ ]

I got response 200 , but I can't update the display date , also, the incident isn't resolved yet, so I should be able to update it.

Can someone help me ? Tell me where or why I'm wrong ?

 

Tanks

Alexandre

You have it close to correct, just the wrong parameter.  display_at isn't a valid parameter so it's simply ignored by the API.

The parameter you want is backfill_date since you're backfilling the date of the incident.

You can find more details on the incident update api page: https://developer.statuspage.io/#operation/patchPagesPageIdIncidentsIncidentId
