Not able to create alert for user type. However I am able to create alert for teams.

[anshu singh]

I am trying to create alert for user type but I am getting below error. 

{

  "code": 40301,

  "message": "To perform this action, use an API key from an API integration.",

  "took": 0,

  "requestId": "da0e219a-53d9-42bd-add8-xxx"

}

Even though I am the org admin but still can't create the alert for a specific user. 

Rest Api Which I am using

https://api.opsgenie.com/v2/alerts (US based API)

Method: Post

However the get method is working with the rest api and also with the same api key but post method is not working.

Please advise.

Python code:

import requests

def opsGenieAlertCreation():

    authorization_token: str = 'GenieKey {0}'.format("xxxxxx-xxxx")

    headers = {

     'Content-Type': 'application/json',

     'Authorization': authorization_token

    }

    #incidentEscaltionOpsgenieTeamId = ops_genie_teamid

    incidentEscaltionOpsgeniePriority = "P1"

    api_url = 'https://api.opsgenie.com/v2/alerts'

    alert_data = {

        "message": "New incident was created",

        "responders": [

            {

                "type": "user",

                "id": "xxx@gmail.com"

            }

        ],

        "description": "test description",

        "priority": incidentEscaltionOpsgeniePriority,

        "tags": ["Incident", "Monitoring"]

    }

    

    response = requests.post(api_url, json=alert_data, headers=headers)

Hey Anshu, Alan from the Opsgenie Support team here.

In this case, you want to make sure that the API key you are using is from an API integration - All instances have the "Default API" integration, but you can also create your own:

Create an API integration
