Generate Open API Credentials
Notice
This feature is available in CSAP v3.7.3.0 onwards.
In the Member Portal, use open API credentials for various actions such as viewing the list of alerts, getting details of each alert, sharing threat intel, and other actions. You can generate one set of credentials at a time. Additionally, you can also generate open API credentials for the Intel Library which helps you access data directly from Intel Exchange (CTIX).
After generating the credentials, you can first test connectivity with Collaborate and then start making API calls using these credentials. You can use any endpoint that is available for you, as a member. For more information, see CSAP API Documentation.
