The API response includes parameter(s) as JSON objects, where each parameter object has the following attributes:

  • key (string): The key of the parameter.

If the user has read-only permissions to the Synthetics app, the following additional attributes will be included:

  • description (string, optional): The description of the parameter.
  • tags (array of strings, optional): An array of tags associated with the parameter.
  • namespaces (array of strings): Namespaces associated with the parameter.

If the user has write permissions, the following additional attribute will be included:
