Summary
PagerDuty has enhanced its API by enabling CORS headers, allowing users to embed information about their PagerDuty accounts into intranet pages using only client-side scripting, such as JavaScript. This functionality enables users to display service statuses within wiki pages, utilizing a sample AJAX code snippet compatible with modern browsers that requires jQuery and an authentication token. Users are advised to generate an API key, preferably read-only, and to avoid publishing their scripts publicly to maintain security. With CORS enabled, all API actions, including event triggering, can now be executed via JavaScript, providing greater integration flexibility.
