Introduction to xMatters REST APIs

xMatters provides REST APIs that you can use to integrate with xMatters using any programming language that has the ability to make HTTP requests.

xMatters REST API: The xMatters REST API is currently under development and new functionality is added to it on an ongoing basis. For more information about working with the xMatters REST API, see xMatters REST API.
Additional REST Endpoints: Our previous REST API implementation has some functionality not yet implemented in the xMatters REST API. For more information about working with the additional REST API methods, see Additional REST API methods.

Available endpoints

The xMatters REST API and the Additional REST methods are accessed with different URLs and have slightly different usage patterns. Refer to the documentation for each API to learn about authentication, error codes, results pagination and versioning as it applies to each API. The following table summarizes the actions available in the REST APIs.
