HTTP request

GET /security/alerts
GET /security/alerts?$top=1
GET /security/alerts?$filter={property} eq '{property-value}'
GET /security/alerts?$filter={property} eq '{property-value}'&$top=5
GET /security/alerts?$filter={property} eq '{property-value}' and {property} eq '{property-value}'

Optional query parameters

This method supports the following OData query parameters to help customize the response:

• $count
• $orderby
• $select
• $skip
• $top - Returns the aggregated top results from each security API provider.
• $filter

The following table lists the $filter keywords by each vendor name. Even though some of these products have been rebranded, the API is yet to be updated. Filter keywords will continue to use the legacy names until further notice. See the changelog for updates.

Vendor name	$filter keyword
Microsoft Defender for Identity	Azure Advanced Threat Protection
Azure Security Center	ASC
Microsoft Defender for Cloud Apps	MCAS
Microsoft Entra ID Protection	IPC
Microsoft Sentinel	Azure Sentinel
Microsoft Defender for Endpoint	Microsoft Defender ATP
Office 365	Not currently supported.

Note: Some providers might not support $filter keywords.

To return an alternative property set, use the OData $select query parameter to specify the set of alert properties that you want For example, to return the assignedTo, category, and severity properties, add the following to your query: $select=assignedTo,category,severity.

Note: The $top OData query parameter has a limit of 1000 alerts. We recommend that you include only $top and not $skip in your first GET query. You can use @odata.nextLink for pagination. If you need to use $skip, it has a limit of 500 alerts. For example, /security/alerts?$top=10&$skip=500 will return a 200 OK response code, but /security/alerts?$top=10&$skip=501 will return a 400 Bad Request response code. For more information, see Microsoft Graph Security API error responses.
