Authentication Methods

API Key Authentication

The adapter authenticates to the Nightfall API using a Bearer token (API Key) in the Authorization header. The API key must be generated from the Nightfall platform with appropriate permissions to access endpoint device information.

APIs

Axonius uses the Nightfall API v1. The following endpoint is called:

  • GET /apps/v1/endpoint/devices - Retrieves endpoint device information including agent status, operating system, network interfaces, and browser extension details

Required Permissions

The API key used for the adapter must have permissions to access endpoint device data through the Nightfall API.

📘

Note

The exact permission names should be confirmed with your Nightfall administrator or Nightfall support, as detailed API documentation for permission requirements is not publicly available. The API key should have read access to endpoint device information.
