I need to retrieve a list of user alerts set on a particular site collection in SharePoint Online. This is possible through the web UI under Site Settings -> User Alerts, but requires that I choose one user at a time, rather than supplying a list of all alerts for all users.

I'm perfectly happy with programmatic solutions, but as this is SPO I can't use anything server side (only Client Object Model or Web Services, as I understand it). I have spent a ridiculous amount of time Googling this and come up short.

Thanks in advance for your time.

  • The "getAlerts" function in "Alert Web Service" gives the alerts only for the current user... Is there a way to get the others users alerts ? Thanks for any help

You should be able to use the alerts web service, http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/alerts.alerts.getalerts.aspx, to get that information. There is a simple wrapper for the web services if you want to use jQuery, SPServices.

    This is super old but I'm sure many people stumble across this, particularly when migrating from server-side solutions dealing with SPAlerts into solutions using Client APIs. There is no client object model, REST, JSOM or legacy wss 3.0 SOAP method to retrieve alerts for any user other than the currently logged in one. We had a solution which generated a report of users who had alerts on a site which was deployed as full-trust code. It is impossible to redevelop that solution as a client-side only solution.
