HTTP Status Codes

The API will return appropriate HTTP response codes to indicate the success or failure of a request. For failed API requests, refer to the message field included in the response for an explanation as to why the request failed.

Specifying an Owner

By default, all API calls will operate in the API user account’s default organization. To specify a different Owner, use the owner URL parameter like ?owner={ownerName}. For example, the following query will return all Host Indicators in the Common Community:

GET https://api.threatconnect.com/v2/indicators/hosts/?owner=Common%20Community

Retrieving an Item’s Tags and Attributes

As of ThreatConnect version 5.4, it is possible to retrieve the Tags and Attributes for an item (a Group, Indicator, Task, or Victim).

To retrieve Tags along with the requested items, append the following query string to the query:

?includeTags=true

To retrieve Attributes along with the requested items, append the following query string to the query:

?includeAttributes=true

For example, to retrieve all Hosts along with their Tags and Attributes, use the following query:

GET /v2/indicators/hosts?includeTags=true&includeAttributes=true

JSON Response:
