To integrate these response codes with your ticket management system, you can retrieve this list via API by accessing https://das.digalert.org/v1/getresponse-codes as a GET. This API will return the following JSON formatted message.
Field definitions:
“last_change” displays the date the last change was made to the EPR codes as a string
“version” displays the EPR Codes JSON file version as a string
“response_codes”:
“response” displays the EPR response code (three numbers as a string)
“state” displays the state/center as a string (max 4 chars) - For Underground Service Alert of Southern California will always show CA-S
“description” displays the readable description of the EPR response code as a string
“allowed” displays wether the EPR code is available for public use as a bit/boolean. “false” means this code can only be used by DigAlert’s® system internally. “true” means the EPR code can be used by members when posting.
