Expandable Objects

Some objects contain the ID of a related object in their response properties. For example, an Incident object may have associated Alert IDs. If the object is expandable, you can use the expand query parameter in your request to retrieve a full representation of it.

For example, append ?expand=alerts to the URL of an incident request to expand all the alert objects that the incident contains.

GET /incidents/{id}?expand=alerts

Objects that can be expanded are noted in the API reference documentation. Additionally, you can discover the identifiers for each expandable object by referencing the expand property in the parent object. You can expand multiple objects at once by identifying multiple items in the expand array.
