Incident types API
List and retrieve incident type configs (e.g. Safety Incident, Near Miss) used for incident reporting and templates. Includes qrSlug, default severity, and notification settings. All operations use the same API key as other v1 endpoints and return global or organization-scoped types.
All endpoints require the same API key (Bearer token or Basic auth) you use for Employee Sync, Sites, and other v1 APIs. See Authentication for how to obtain and use credentials.
