API response: Metadata must be namespaced

[David Maier]

Hello,

I'm using the manage API of Statuspage.

Currently I'm trying to create incidents programmatically. To be able to identify incidents when accessing them in the future, I'm trying to save an ID in the "metadata" key of the incident. However, when I try to do that, I get the following response:

{
  "error":[
    "Metadata Metadata must be namespaced"
  ]
}

 My request entity, the incident, looks like this:

{
  "incident": {
    "name": "Incident title",
    "body": "Something is not working.",
    "status": "investigating",
    "component_ids": [ "abc123def456" ],
    "metadata": {
      "my_id": "123456789_test:hello"
    }
  }
} 

 Does anybody know what this response means? Can't I use the metadata field?

Edit: This page of the API documentation suggests that there is a metadata field.

As it turns out, I had to wrap"my_id" inside another object, which represents the namespace:

{
  "incident": {
    "name": "Incident title",
    "body": "Something is not working.",
    "status": "investigating",
    "component_ids": [ "abc123def456" ],
    "metadata": {
      "my_namespace: {
        "my_id": "123456789_test:hello"
      }
    }
  }
}
