Note that query parameters are not considered part of the resource path, and should not be included the calculation of the LMv1 authentication signature.

Property	Syntax	Description	Example URI
sort	sort={+ or -}property	Sorts the response by the property specified in either increasing (+) or decreasing (-) order	/dashboard/widgets?sort=+name
filter	filter=property{operator}value	Filters the response according to the operator and value specified. Note that you can use * to match on more than one character.You can use the ‘.’ character to filter values within an object (e.g. custom properties), and multiple filters can be separated by a comma. Operators include: Greater than or equals: >: Less than or equals: <: Greater than: > Less than: < Does not equal: !: Equals: : Includes: ~ Does not include: !~	/dashboard/widgets?filter=type:alert
fields	fields={list of properties separated by commas}	Filters the response to only include the following fields for each object	/dashboard/widgets?fields=name,type

offset	offset=integer	The number of results to offset the displayed results by	/dashboard/widgets?offset=2

Example 1: GET all Widgets

The following Python script returns a list of all widgets in the api.logicmonitor.com portal.

#!/bin/env python

import requests
import json
import hashlib
import base64
import time
import hmac

#Account Info
AccessId ='YQQ75w6Mxx9zWIeAMq5H'
AccessKey ='f)!Z}%spR=6en+4^s2$t32r-3=NpdQ]2T{-deI)8'
Company = 'api'

#Request Info
httpVerb ='GET'
resourcePath = '/dashboard/widgets'

#Construct URL 
url = 'https://'+ Company +'.logicmonitor.com/santaba/rest' + resourcePath

#Get current time in milliseconds
epoch = str(int(time.time() * 1000))

#Concatenate Request details
requestVars = httpVerb + epoch + resourcePath

#Construct signature
signature = base64.b64encode(hmac.new(AccessKey,msg=requestVars,digestmod=hashlib.sha256).hexdigest())

#Construct headers
auth = 'LMv1 ' + AccessId + ':' + signature + ':' + epoch
headers = {'Content-Type':'application/json','Authorization':auth}

#Make request
response = requests.get(url, headers=headers)

#Print status and body of response
print 'Response Status:',response.status_code
print 'Response Body:',response.content

Example 2: GET all Widgets

The following Python script returns a list of all widgets, where only the name, type and dashboardId are returned for each result and the results are sorted in descending order according to the name.

#!/bin/env python

import requests
import json
import hashlib
import base64
import time
import hmac

#Account Info
AccessId ='YQQ75w6Mxx9zWIeAMq5H'
AccessKey ='f)!Z}%spR=6en+4^s2$t32r-3=NpdQ]2T{-deI)8'
Company = 'api'

#Request Info
httpVerb ='GET'
resourcePath = '/dashboard/widgets'
queryParams = '?fields=name,type,dashboardId&sort=-name'

#Construct URL 
url = 'https://'+ Company +'.logicmonitor.com/santaba/rest' + resourcePath + queryParams

#Get current time in milliseconds
epoch = str(int(time.time() * 1000))

#Concatenate Request details
requestVars = httpVerb + epoch + resourcePath

#Construct signature
signature = base64.b64encode(hmac.new(AccessKey,msg=requestVars,digestmod=hashlib.sha256).hexdigest())

#Construct headers
auth = 'LMv1 ' + AccessId + ':' + signature + ':' + epoch
headers = {'Content-Type':'application/json','Authorization':auth}

#Make request
response = requests.get(url, headers=headers)

#Print status and body of response
print 'Response Status:',response.status_code
print 'Response Body:',response.content

Get information about a particular widget

Returns details for a particular widget

HTTP Method:GET

Example 3: GET one widget

The following Python Script returns the details for the widget with id 174 in api.logicmonitor.com.

#!/bin/env python

import requests
import json
import hashlib
import base64
import time
import hmac

#Account Info
AccessId ='YQQ75w6Mxx9zWIeAMq5H'
AccessKey ='f)!Z}%spR=6en+4^s2$t32r-3=NpdQ]2T{-deI)8'
Company = 'api'

#Request Info
httpVerb ='GET'
resourcePath = '/dashboard/widgets/174'

#Construct URL 
url = 'https://'+ Company +'.logicmonitor.com/santaba/rest' + resourcePath

#Get current time in milliseconds
epoch = str(int(time.time() * 1000))

#Concatenate Request details
requestVars = httpVerb + epoch + resourcePath

#Construct signature
signature = base64.b64encode(hmac.new(AccessKey,msg=requestVars,digestmod=hashlib.sha256).hexdigest())

#Construct headers
auth = 'LMv1 ' + AccessId + ':' + signature + ':' + epoch
headers = {'Content-Type':'application/json','Authorization':auth}

#Make request
response = requests.get(url, headers=headers)

#Print status and body of response
print 'Response Status:',response.status_code
print 'Response Body:',response.content
