🚧

After 31st July 2024, this page would permanently be moved to a new location. You can access this page from a new URL which is present here. If you have saved or bookmarked the current URL, kindly update it with the new URL, since there will be no 301 redirect from the current URL to the new URL.

Before you use the scan endpoint, there are a number of actions to do within the Nightfall dashboard to get your environment set up properly.

  • See Creating an API Key to see how to create the necessary Authentication token for making API calls.

  • See Creating a Detector for how to define your own custom logic for detecting sensitive data

  • See Creating Detection Rules for how to aggregate Detectors for use in the scan endpoint

  • See Creating Policies for how to set up common workflows that combine your Detection Rules with remediation actions such as alerting.
