Response Types

Response types are the customer-facing classifications used to describe the kind of response a customer source can create or manage, such as security or medical. They show up throughout the Panic API wherever a callout, coverage rule, or subscription is tied to a response category.

What the endpoint returns

List response types returns the response types available to the authenticated customer source as {message, responseTypes[]} — each with an id, a value (e.g. SECURITY), a description, and enabledLocations flags showing whether it applies to fixed-location and/or personal-safety flows.

Notes for integrators

• The response type id is what you pass as responseTypeId when creating a callout and as the path parameter when retrieving coverage.
• If a flow requires a response type ID, use the value returned by this endpoint rather than hard-coding response type IDs from examples.
