Get the same problems listed in "Problems" with API zabbix

Question

Im looking for the problems list (problem.get) but only the probems also listed on the dashboard itself. I've tried it with triggers etc etc, I can not filter for status anywhere. When I do problem.get I get 712 problems while there are only like 10 active now(I dont know where this list even comes from, probably history, I want to know what filters zabbix uses to get the problem list on the dashboard, its not filtered on date/time or anyting. I would like the same list as in the dashboard itself. Im looking for the JSON request that gets this information. I tried it with problems.get and also with Trigger.get (I can not filter on state/severity: problem).

{
    "jsonrpc": "2.0",
    "method": "problem.get",
    "params": {
        "output": "extend",
        "selectTags": "extend",
        "selectSuppressionData": "extend",
        "recent": "true",
        "sortfield": ["eventid"],
        "sortorder": "DESC"
    },
    "auth": "XXX",
    "id": 1
}




{
    "jsonrpc": "2.0",
    "method": "trigger.get",
    "params": {
        "output": [
            "triggerid",
            "description",
            "hosts"
        ],
        "selectHosts": ["host", "hostid"],
        "filter": {
            "status": "0",
            "value": "1",
            "priority": "2"
        },
        "sortfield": "priority",
        "sortorder": "DESC"
    },
    "auth": "xxx",
    "id": 1
}

For the triggerjson, it worked until new problems came up (its also that status,value and priority are different in some problems (i saw 0, 0, 4 and one problem 0, 1, 2 (all listed on problems in zabbix dashboard) so I dont know what to filter anymore

On the Problems dashboard Zabbix shows problems with the active hosts only. Therefore at first get the list of needed active hosts, for example:

{
  "jsonrpc":"2.0",
  "method":"host.get",
  "params":{
    "filter":{
      "status":0
    },
    "preservekeys":"true",
    "output":[]
  },
  "auth":"XXX",
  "id":1
}

And then use resulting list of hostids in problem.get request:

{
  "jsonrpc":"2.0",
  "method":"problem.get",
  "params":{
    "severities":4,
    "hostids":["15921","15730",...]
  },
  "auth":"XXX",
  "id":2
}
