Get Custom Property by ID

Last modified on July 26, 2024

To get information about a single custom property, send a GET request to /properties/{id} where {id} is the property ID.

Request URL

GET https://api.alertsite.com/api/v3/properties/{id}[?select=field1,...]

Authentication

The request must include the Authorization header containing a user’s access token:

Authorization: Bearer ACCESS_TOKEN

See Authentication for more information.

Query parameters

select

Optional. A comma-separated list of property data fields to include in the response. The available field names are: id, name, values.

Response body

If successful, the operation returns HTTP status 200 and a JSON object containing the property name, ID, values, and value IDs:

{
  "__permissions": {
    "acl": 7
  },
  "id": 120,
  "name": "Environment",
  "values": [
    {
      "id": 58,
      "name": "Development"
    },
    {
      "id": 60,
      "name": "Production"
    },
    {
      "id": 62,
      "name": "Staging"
    }
  ]
}

Error responses have a non-200 status code and include the errors list:

{
  "errors": [
    {
      "code": 404,
      "message": "Record not found"
    }
  ]
}
