# Take over several alerts

`POST https://evohub.io/api/v1/alerts/takeover-bulk`

Part of the [On-Call API](https://docs-dev.evohub.io/oncall.md) reference · operationId `takeOverAlertsBulk`.

Each alert in `ids` is taken over (assigned to the caller and acknowledged when still triggered) on its own, exactly as the single-alert
endpoint would. The answer lists which ids succeeded and which failed (for
example not found, or already resolved); one failure does not stop the rest.
A list with no ids in it comes back as `[]`.

**Permission (API-key scope):** `oncall:alert:respond`.

## Authorization

Any one of:

- `bearerAuth` (oncall:alert:respond)
- `apiKeyHeader` (oncall:alert:respond)

Where:

- `bearerAuth`: HTTP Bearer — An EvoHub API key (`evohub_…`) as a bearer token.
- `apiKeyHeader`: API key in the header `X-API-Key` — An EvoHub API key (`evohub_…`).
