Use the Incident Tags REST API to assign tags to your incidents.
Incident Tags allow you to add context specific to your organization. You can add Incident Tags to Incidents through the BigPanda UI or via this API. Note that you first need to configure an incident tag definition in order to apply it to incidents.
To learn more about how the Incident Tags feature works, see our Add Tags to Incidents user guide.
Rate Limitations
To maintain quality of service, BigPanda APIs are limited to 30 requests per second.
Additional requests will return a 429 response code and the request will need to be retried.
Relevant Permissions
Incident Tags permissions are defined by environment role access. To search incident tags, you will need permission to view incidents in the specified environment. To edit incident tags, you will need incident action permissions in the specified environment.
Environment ID
The environment ID can extracted from the URL of the BigPanda console in browser, or it can be retrieved through the Environments API
