Can I transfer and migrate from one statuspage to another statuspage?

Can I transfer and migrate from one statuspage to another statuspage?

Today I have a statuspage account. In this account I have my history of open and closed statuses. I would like to know if I can migrate this history to another statuspage? Is this possible? Because I would not like to lose my status history.

Hello João,

Transferring and migrating the history from one Statuspage to another directly within the platform is not supported. Unfortunately, there isn't a built-in feature to move your status history from one Statuspage to another.

However, you can achieve this using the Statuspage REST API. By creating a script, you can programmatically extract the data from your current Statuspage and import it into the new one. Please note that this can be quite complex and requires a good understanding of scripting and using APIs.

Here are the steps you would need to follow:

1. Export Data: Use the Statuspage API to fetch your current data (incidents, components, etc.).
2. Transform Data: Format the data as required by the new Statuspage.
3. Import Data: Use the API to create the new entries in the new Statuspage.

For detailed API documentation, you can refer to the Statuspage API Documentation.

This process can import both "configurations" (like component definitions), and incidents/maintenance (as they can be "backdated").

Given the complexity, this approach might be quite labor-intensive for a one-time migration. If maintaining the history is critical, you might want to consider if it's worth the effort or if there are alternative solutions that might meet your needs.

Feel free to ask if you have any more questions or need further assistance!
