APIs

Axonius uses the Absolute API v3.

Setting Up Absolute to Work with Axonius

Absolute API requires an authentication token that consists of two parts: token ID and secret key. You need to generate those from the Absolute console, using a custom user role, defined by your organization, or the Guest user role.

For more details on creating a Token ID and a Secret Key, see Create your API token.

📘

Note

The System Administrator of your Absolute console can assign the role.
