# Service Tickets Overview

Welcome to the Service Ticket APIs, which allow you to programmatically manage your data center  
operations, from requesting physical access to scheduling technical assistance.

Our APIs are designed for both high-level visibility and deep technical detail. Use the Service  
Tickets API for broad discovery and the ticket-specific APIs for granular management.

## Available APIs

The Service Management platform provides APIs covering a variety of operational workflows.

## Service Tickets API

While each ticket type has its own creation and management API, the Service Tickets API serves as  
your centralized query engine. It allows you to:

- Retrieve a full history of all tickets across your account
- Filter results by specific properties such as `ticket_type`, `site_code`, `status`, or  
`creation_date`
- Monitor lifecycle changes across different categories in a single call

## Inventory API

The Inventory API allows you to discover the locations against which you can raise service ticket requests.
