How do I query alarms that occurred for last 1 hour via python?

I tried reading solarwinds documentation for alerts but I have hard time understanding them,

Can anyone explain me alarms structure of alarms (say a device down) and how do I identify a single alarm by it's unique ID, and how do I check if a single alarm is cleared or active using it's unique ID via rest api?

The best way to understand how the data is structured is by using SWQL Studio to explore the objects and relationships.

There's an AlertsActive (guessing at the name) entity which you can query to see if an alert is still being triggered. If the unique ID of the triggered event isn't there, then the alert is no longer 'active.'
