The Argus REST API gives you programmatic access to every part of the platform — from listing and resolving issues to ingesting raw SDK events. All endpoints live under the /api/v1 prefix, accept JSON request bodies, and return JSON responses. Use any HTTP client, language, or tool that speaks HTTP to interact with the API.
Base URL
Replace your-domain.com with your actual Argus instance hostname. All paths in this documentation are shown relative to this base URL.
Every request must include the Content-Type: application/json header when sending a request body. Argus does not accept form-encoded payloads.
All Endpoints
The table below lists every endpoint group exposed by the API.
| Group | Base Path | Description |
|---|
| Authentication | /api/v1/auth | Register, log in, verify email, and manage your session |
| Projects | /api/v1/projects | Create and manage projects within your organization |
| Issues | /api/v1/projects/:projectId/issues | List, view, and update issues captured for a project |
| Events | /api/v1/projects/:projectId/issues/:issueId/events | List the individual events grouped under an issue |
| Alerts | /api/v1/projects/:projectId/alerts | Create and manage alert rules for a project |
| Performance | /api/v1/projects/:projectId/performance | Query transactions and web vitals data |
| Usage | /api/v1/usage | Inspect your monthly event quota and plan information |
| Ingest | /api/v1/ingest/:projectId/envelope | Receive SDK events via DSN authentication |
The ingest endpoint uses a separate DSN-based authentication scheme. See Authentication for details on both session cookies and DSN keys.
Every Argus API response — success or error — follows the same envelope shape.
Success response:
Error response:
| Field | Type | Description |
|---|
statusCode | number | The HTTP status code repeated in the body |
status | string | Either "success" or "failed" |
message | string | A human-readable description of the outcome |
data | object | array | Present on successful responses; contains the requested resource |
error | object | string | Present on error responses; contains error detail |
Error Codes
| Code | Meaning |
|---|
400 | Bad request — invalid payload or missing required fields |
401 | Unauthorized — not logged in, or invalid DSN key |
404 | Not found — the requested resource does not exist |
409 | Conflict — e.g. the email address is already registered |
429 | Too many requests — monthly quota or per-minute rate limit exceeded |
500 | Internal server error — something went wrong on the server |
The ingest endpoint enforces two separate limits: a per-minute rate limit of 100 events per 60-second window, and a monthly quota tied to your plan (10,000 events on Free; 500,000 on Pro). Requests that exceed either limit receive a 429 response.
