Genetec Mission Control™ Web API 2.0 includes the following enhancements.

Web API 2.0 now available

New Web API includes the following enhancements:
  • In the Web API documentation, there is a drop-down list allowing selection between documentation for the legacy version V1 and new version V2. By default, the documentation for the V2 version is displayed.
  • Re-categorization of endpoints.
  • A standardized format for all endpoints returning a collection of results:
    • Quantitative filters are available that allow you to set the offset and number of items to be retrieved.
    • The retrieved results include a count for the total number of items available for the query, and the list of items retrieved within the set limit parameter.
  • Change in default filter behavior. When no filters are specified by the user, all expected possible items will be retrieved.
  • A new isRecipient filter is available for the GET ​/v2​/Incidents and GET ​/v2​/Incidents/{id} endpoints that allows the user to retrieve for which the user is either a recipient or a supervisor.
  • The GET​ /v2​/IncidentTypes endpoints will now also return incidents that are not configured for manual trigger. The retrieved incident type properties include details of the manual trigger configuration.
  • All incident commands are now posted synchronously by default (prefer > sync).

You must have Genetec Mission Control™ 2.13.4.0 installed for compatibility with Web API 2.0.

To upgrade to the latest version of Web API, you must uninstall the previous version of the Genetec Mission Control™ Web API Installer.

API enhancements

You can use Genetec Mission Control™ Web API 2.0 for the following:
Retrieve dynamic user procedure details
You can use the GET /v2/Procedures/{id} endpoint to retrieve the dynamic user procedure associated with the specified identifier.
It includes the following fields:
  • Step name
  • Instruction text
  • Step options
  • Allow skip configuration
  • Force comment configuration

To retrieve a specific revision of the dynamic user procedure, use the GET /v2/Procedures/{id}/Revisions/{revision} endpoint.

Retrieve incident type revision
You can use the GET /v2/IncidentTypes/{id}/Revisions/{revision} endpoint to retrieve a specific revision of the specified incident type.
Retrieve aggregated custom events
You can retrieve events history for aggregated external custom events using the GET​ /v2​/Incidents​/{id}​/Events with the ExternalEventAggregated eventTypes parameter.

The number of events retrieved will depend on limit filter selection.

You will get notifications of aggregated custom external events in the SignalR Feed page.
Retrieve a list of possible incident states
You can use the GET​ /v2​/States endpoint to retrieve a list of possible incident states.
You can retrieve the following information:
  • Incident state identifier.
  • Incident state name.
  • List of users and user groups that can transition the incident to the current state.
  • List of states the incident can transition to from current state.
You can use the GET​ /v2​/Incidents and GET​ /v2​/Incidents/{id} to retrieve a list of incident states disabled by the incident type's automation workflow.
You will get notifications in the SignalR Feed page when the automation workflow of an incident type disables or enables a state.
