Use the Living Security Public API to retrieve data for your reporting system, data warehouse or security tools. Your integration makes requests to the API and sends the results to the destination you manage. For messages to people, use communication channels. For a reporting connection without custom code, see Power BI.

​
Build an export

1

Choose the data you need

Start with a published API resource or a report recipe. Select the fields and filters your destination needs, and choose a refresh interval that fits your reporting requirements.
2

Authenticate your integration

Create a service account for the export and grant only the permissions it needs. Follow the API quickstart to make your first request with an API key. See Authentication if your security policy requires OAuth access tokens.
3

Read all pages

Follow the pagination guide to collect a complete result set. Keep filters consistent while following a cursor, handle cursor expiry, and account for records changing during a read.
4

Schedule and monitor refreshes

Schedule requests in your integration and follow the rate-limit and retry guidance. Record refresh outcomes and request IDs so you can investigate failed or incomplete exports. Keep credentials and exported personal data out of logs.

​
Protect exported data

Use the regional API host for your organization. Review the destination’s access controls and retention policy before sending personal data to it. Store API credentials in a secret manager, and rotate or revoke them when the integration changes. When requesting help with an export, include the operation, HTTP status and Request-Id. Do not include API keys, access tokens or exported personal data.
