* `POST /tx_api/v1/services` - Retrieves service IP addresses

### Required Permissions

The following permissions are required:

The API user must have a valid API token with permissions to:

* Access the ThreatX API
* Read site configurations

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