Steps
Authenticate with the DD-API-KEY header (and DD-APPLICATION-KEY where required) against the regional API host for your Datadog site.
Use POST /api/v2/error-tracking/issues/search to find issues matching a query.
Use GET /api/v2/error-tracking/issues/{issue_id} to retrieve the full details of a specific issue.
Use PUT /api/v2/error-tracking/issues/{issue_id}/state to move an issue between the FOR REVIEW, REVIEWED, RESOLVED, IGNORED, and EXCLUDED states.
Use PUT or DELETE on /api/v2/error-tracking/issues/{issue_id}/assignee to assign or remove an issue's assignee.
Known gotchas
There is no delete endpoint for issues themselves — the only DELETE operation in this API removes an issue's assignee, not the issue.
Issues auto-transition to RESOLVED after about 14 days without new occurrences (or when a newer version doesn't reproduce the error), so a status you set manually can later be overwritten by this automatic logic.
EXCLUDED issues stop being collected and no longer count toward billing, but remain visible under the IGNORED tab; setting any other status resumes collection.
