What are some use cases / enhancements you'd like to see built into an API client?

Hi all, especially Python users,Given the nature of PagerDuty the product and its APIs, some basic use cases are sufficiently useful and near ubiquitous, making them too important to not implement. For these use cases I am considering breaking a convention of “not making an API for the API”.*A few features in this category that I’ve been considering:Fetch incident notes Create overrides, for all on-call shifts of a given user and time period to another user (or round-robin the shifts among a group of user IDs) Fetch all historical records from all time (i.e. log entries), using a shifting time window to avoid hitting the pagination limit Add abstraction for the bespoke pagination styles of: POST /analytics/raw/incidents GET /alert_grouping_settings Which of these do you think would be the most useful and save the most time? What more general automation use cases do you believe are worth building an opinionated method into an API client that in this area has previously been un-opiniona

🎄💻 Tis the Season to Feign Tech Ignorance: An IT Holiday Survival Guide

Who missed the holiday season? Hey there, fellow code wranglers and server whisperers!'Tis the season to be jolly... and to dodge tech questions like Neo dodges bullets in The Matrix! 🎄💻As we gear up for the annual family gathering extravaganza, I couldn't help but chuckle at this all-too-relatable gem floating around the interwebs. You know the drill - you've barely hung up your coat when Aunt Marge corners you with that gleam in her eye:"Oh, sweetie! You work with computers, don't you? My toaster's been acting up..."Suddenly, your years of containerization, CI/CD pipelines, and infrastructure-as-code expertise vanish faster than a production server during a Black Friday sale. You find yourself channeling your inner Caitlin, mustering all your willpower to utter that magical two-letter word: "No."But fear not, my fellow holiday heroes! I've got a foolproof strategy to keep your sanity intact this season:Develop selective hearing loss when words like "computer," "internet," or "thing

📖 Chaos to Control: 3 Steps for Automating Incident ManagementNews

For many teams, implementing end-to-end automation in one go is too much abrupt change. A "crawl, walk, run" philosophy is better. For maximum value, automation should be embedded throughout the incident life cycle — all the way from an incoming event signal to final resolution and learning. But for many teams, implementing end-to-end automation in one go is too much abrupt change. By Joseph Mandros, Product Marketing Manager at PagerDuty. Read more ➡️ The New Stack

What's Your Incident Response Style? 😎

You're already firing up your IDE before the alert finishes. Time to crush this bug before the sun rises.   The Log Whisperer 🕵️‍♂️ grep is your middle name. You dive deep into log files, piecing together the puzzle while muttering "Interesting..." under your breath.   The Slack Champion 🤝 You're all about clear communication. Your status updates are a thing of beauty, keeping everyone in the loop without flooding the channel.   The Meme Lord 😎 Sure, the site's on fire, but have you seen this relevant xkcd?
