SolarWinds Incident Response Developer Docs (Formerly Squadcast)

Introduction

Welcome to the official developer hub for Squadcast. This documentation provides everything you need to programmatically manage incidents, automate on-call rotations, and integrate Squadcast into your SRE and DevOps workflows.

Overview

Squadcast is an end-to-end incident management platform that unites on-call scheduling, alert routing, incident response, and post-incident analysis. Our developer tools allow you to:

• Automate Workflows — Trigger actions and manage incident lifecycles programmatically.

• Sync Configuration — Manage Services, Teams, and Escalation Policies as code.

• Extend Functionality — Build custom integrations and data exporters using our REST APIs and SDKs.

• Route Alerts — Send alerts from any monitoring tool or internal system via webhooks.

• Infrastructure as Code — Manage your Squadcast configuration with Terraform.

Official SDKs

We provide high-quality, type-safe SDKs to help you get started quickly. These libraries handle authentication, retries, and data serialization out of the box.

Language	Package	Install
Go	squadcast-sdk-go	go get github.com/SquadcastHub/squadcast-sdk-go
Python	squadcast-sdk	pip install squadcast-sdk
TypeScript	@solarwinds/squadcast-sdk-typescript	npm add @solarwinds/squadcast-sdk-typescript

Authentication

Squadcast uses Bearer Token authentication for all API requests.

1. Generate Token: Log in to your Squadcast account and navigate to Profile → API Tokens to create a refresh token.

2. Get Access Token: Exchange the refresh token for an access token via the auth endpoint.

3. Authorize Requests: Include the access token in the Authorization header.

curl --request GET \
     --url https://auth.squadcast.com/oauth/access-token \
     --header 'X-Refresh-Token: YOUR_REFRESH_TOKEN'

Security Best Practice: Avoid hardcoding tokens. All official SDKs support the SQUADCASTSDK_REFRESH_TOKEN_AUTH environment variable instead of SQUADCAST_BEARER_AUTH.
