## Example request

```shell
[label cURL]
curl --request GET \
     --url "https://telemetry.betterstack.com/api/v2/alerts" \
     --header "Authorization: Bearer $TOKEN"
```

## Alert context

Each alert in the response includes context attributes to identify its source:
- `dashboard_id` and `chart_id` for alerts on a dashboard chart.
- `exploration_id` for alerts on an exploration.

[info]
The shape of the `attributes` object varies depending on the `alert_type`. For example, `anomaly_rrcf` alerts will include `anomaly_sensitivity` and `anomaly_trigger` instead of `operator` and `value`.
