Applicable Waivers REST API - v2

NEW IN RELEASE 98

This API provides a way to obtain all waivers that are applicable to a particular policy violation. A waiver is considered applicable to a given violation if the following conditions apply:

  • PolicyId matches
  • Violated Policy Conditions match
  • If the waiver was scoped to a particular component then the component hash should also match

The API can be accessed via the following endpoint as a GET request, relative to IQ Server's base URL.

GET /api/v2/policyViolations/{policyViolationId}/applicableWaivers

Getting the policy violation id

The Policy Violation ID can be obtained by   Policy Violation REST API  or  Report Related REST API .


Assuming a local installation of IQ Server with its default configuration, the following example using cURL lists waivers that apply to a policy violation:

curl -u admin:admin123 -X GET -H "Content-Type: application/json" 'http://localhost:8070/api/v2/policyViolations/{policyViolationId}/applicableWaivers'


The response returned by this API contains two sets of waivers, one set containing active waivers and another containing expired waivers, that are applicable to the provided violation. Each of the waiver items contain several details regarding the waivers as described in the table below.
