Applications API - GET all apps

We have a new version of this API—Entity API v2. Check it out!

Fetches the list of all applications in your Dynatrace environment, along with their parameters.

The full list can be lengthy, so you can narrow it down by specifying filter parameters, like tags. See the Parameters section for more details.

You can additionally limit the output by using the pagination:

Specify the number of results per page in the pageSize query parameter.
Then use the cursor from the Next-Page-Key response header in the nextPageKey query parameter to obtain subsequent pages.

The request produces an application/json payload.

GET	Managed	`https://{your-domain}/e/{your-environment-id}/api/v1/entity/applications`
	SaaS	`https://{your-environment-id}.live.dynatrace.com/api/v1/entity/applications`
	Environment ActiveGate	`https://{your-activegate-domain}/e/{your-environment-id}/api/v1/entity/applications`

Authentication

Parameters

Parameter	Type	Description	In	Required
startTimestamp	integer	The start timestamp of the requested timeframe, in milliseconds (UTC). If not set, then 72 hours behind from now is used.	query	optional
endTimestamp	integer	The end timestamp of the requested timeframe, in milliseconds (UTC). If not set, then the current timestamp is used. The timeframe must not exceed 3 days.	query	optional
relativeTime	string	The relative timeframe, back from now. The element can hold these values `min` `5mins` `10mins` `15mins` `30mins` `hour` `2hours` `6hours` `day` `3days`	query	optional
tag	string[]	Filters the resulting set of applications by the specified tag. You can specify several tags in the following format: `tag=tag1&tag=tag2`. The application has to match all the specified tags. In case of key-value tags, such as imported AWS or CloudFoundry tags, use the following format: `tag=[context]key:value`. For custom key-value tags, omit the context: `tag=key:value`.	query	optional
entity	string[]	Filters result to the specified applications only. To specify several applications use the following format: `entity=ID1&entity=ID2`.	query	optional
managementZone	integer	Only return applications that are part of the specified management zone.	query	optional
includeDetails	boolean	Includes (`true`) or excludes (`false`) details which are queried from related entities. Excluding details may make queries faster. If not set, then `true` is used.	query	optional
pageSize	integer	The number of applications per result page. If not set, pagination is not used and the result contains all applications fitting the specified filtering criteria.	query	optional
nextPageKey	string	The cursor for the next page of results. You can find it in the Next-Page-Key header of the previous response. If you're using pagination, the first page is always returned without this cursor. You must keep all other query parameters as they were in the first request to obtain subsequent pages.	query	optional
