Axonius uses the SEL Blueframe API. The following endpoints are called:

• GET /sources - Retrieves list of sources (devices)
• GET /sources/{source_id} - Retrieves detailed information for a specific source
• GET /sources/{source_id}/properties - Retrieves properties for a specific source

Required Permissions

The API user must have permissions to access the SEL Blueframe API endpoints for reading source information.

Note: The exact permission names should be confirmed with your SEL Blueframe administrator or SEL support, as the API documentation is not publicly available.
