Cases API

Overview

This document outlines the Cases API. It exposes three services that together cover the full Case lifecycle:

  • CasesService manages Cases throughout their lifecycle. Use it to get, list, update, assign, acknowledge, resolve, and close Cases, to set or clear a priority override, and to bulk-apply each of these operations. It also exposes filter values, grouping keys, and Case deep links.
  • CaseEventsService manages the events on a Case's Activity timeline. Use it to list events, retrieve a single event, and create, update, or delete comment events. External systems can also sync threads into the timeline through this service.
  • CasesNotificationService tracks notification-adjacent data. Use it to list the notification delivery records for one or more Cases, including routing, target, and outcome information.

Prerequisites

Before you begin, please make sure you have the following:

  • To use this API you need to create a personal or team API key. Cases do not ship with a permission preset; add the individual CASE:* permissions you need.

    PermissionDescriptionUsed by
    CASE:READView the list of Cases and individual Cases.Every read method across all three services.
    CASE:UPDATEUpdate Case fields and priority overrides.UpdateCase, SetPriorityOverride, ClearPriorityOverride, BulkSetPriorityOverride, BulkClearPriorityOverride.
    CASE:ASSIGNAssign a Case to yourself or to other users.AssignCase, UnassignCase, BulkAssign, BulkUnassign.
    CASE:ACKNOWLEDGEAcknowledge a Case.AcknowledgeCase, UnacknowledgeCase, BulkAcknowledge.
    CASE:CLOSEResolve or close a Case.ResolveCase, CloseCase, BulkResolve, BulkClose.
    CASE:COMMENTComment on a Case.CreateComment, UpdateComment, DeleteComment, SyncExternalCaseEvents.
  • Select the api.:443 endpoint that corresponds to your Coralogix domain using the domain selector at the top of the page.

  • Administrator permissions to manage your services.

Authentication

Coralogix API uses API keys to authenticate requests. You can view and manage your API keys from the Data Flow tab in Coralogix. You need to use an API key in the Authorization request header to successfully connect.

Example

grpcurl -H "Authorization: Bearer <cx_api_key>"

Then, structure your header by using the api.:443 endpoint for your Coralogix domain. To dynamically display the correct endpoint, use the domain selector at the top of the page.

d @ api.:443

The Cases API exposes three fully qualified service names:

  • com.coralogixapis.cases.v1.CasesService
  • com.coralogixapis.cases.v1.CaseEventsService
  • com.coralogixapis.cases.v1.CasesNotificationService

The complete request header should look like this:

grpcurl -H "Authorization: Bearer <cx_api_key>" -d @ api.:443 com.coralogixapis.cases.v1.CasesService/

Sample request

Retrieve a single Case by ID using GetCase.

grpcurl -H "Authorization: Bearer <cx_api_key>" -d @ api.[[DOMAIN_VALUE]]:443 com.coralogixapis.cases.v1.CasesService/GetCase <<EOF
{
    "id": "case-697506"
}
EOF

Sample response

{
    "case": {
        "id": "case-697506",
        "name": "Spike in errors for specific country",
        "status": "CASE_STATUS_ACTIVE",
        "priority": "CASE_PRIORITY_P1",
        "category": "CASE_CATEGORY_AVAILABILITY",
        "assignee": null,
        "created_at": {
            "seconds": "1748208900",
            "nanos": 0
        },
        "last_updated_at": {
            "seconds": "1748210220",
            "nanos": 0
        }
    }
}
