Overview

Collaborate API Reference

Analyst Portal

Authentication

As an analyst, you can create and update alerts, as well as retrieve all alert-related data.

As a member, you can retrieve all alert-related data shared with you.

Alerts

Member are classified into various organizations. Organizations comprise of organization types and are associated with certain organization levels.

Organization

Members can create intel and submit it to analysts for review.

Intel

View and add indicators such as IPs, domains, URLs, emails, and hashes that are added to the allow list by analysts and members.

Allowed Indicators

Dashboards in CSAP help you visualize data. Use APIs in this folder to get a list of widgets and data in a widget on the CSAP dashbaord.

Dashboard

Members are users of CSAP Member Portal. Analysts can create members.

Member

CSAP Messenger allows members to collaborate with each other, create groups for discussion, and start discussions based on topics. This section contains API endpoints that supports messenger actions.

Messenger

Reports provide statistics on different aspects of CSAP such as member status, details of alerts published, and reader details.

Reports

The Doc Library is a secure place to store text, image, and video files where analysts and members can store and maintain important cybersecurity files.

Doc Library

RFI is used for gathering information about subjects or to inform the assessment and steps taken by security teams to optimize the overall security posture of the organization.

Request for Information (RFI)

Intelligence Requirements (IRs) are information requests that help you gain insights into a particular subject over a specified period. IRs guide the collection, analysis, and dissemination of intelligence to support decision-making and threat detection within your organization.

Recommended Actions

Member Portal

## Create Open API Roles

As an analyst user of Collaborate's Analyst Portal, you can create user roles for members to regulate access to Collaborate features using open API. You can assign these role to members while generating API credentials for them. For more information, see [Create Open API Roles](https://techdocs.cyware.com/en/299669-311103-configure-csap-open-api.html#UUID-619438df-5270-99c9-e9e3-627354e346a2_section-idm4602926397864033127945617155).

## Generate Open API Credentials

As an analyst user of Collaborate's Analyst Portal, you can generate open API credentials for analysts or members to access the open API endpoints.  
You can assign a role to control and restrict member's access to Collaborate's features.  
For analysts, post the v3.7.6.0 update: access to certain categories are based on your user role in the Analyst Portal. This update does not impact credentials generated prior to this version.  
For more information, see [Generate Open API Credentials](https://techdocs.cyware.com/en/299669-311103-configure-csap-open-api.html#UUID-619438df-5270-99c9-e9e3-627354e346a2_section-idm456429263300003297458551117).

## **Mandatory Query Parameters**

To authenticate the API requests made to Collaborate, you must include the following parameters in the query of each API request:

1. **Access ID**: Indicates the access ID of your Collaborate open API credentials.
2. **Expires:** Indicates the validity of the signature parameter. The signature becomes invalid if not used within the specified expiry duration. You can use the `expires = current time + 300 seconds` for authentication. You can give a margin of 10 to 15 seconds for expiry.
3. **Signature:** A combination of the access ID, secret key, and expires parameters to authenticate API requests. The signature is hashed using the HMAC-SHA1 algorithm, and then encoded using the Base64 scheme.
    1. Create a StringToSign value using the `StringToSign = access_id + \n + expires` formula.
    2. Create a Signature value using the `Signature = Base64(HMAC-SHA1(secret_key, UTF-8-Encoding-Of(StringToSign)))` formula.

You can now make a test API call in the following format using the Access ID, Expires, and Signature values:  
`base_url/csap/v1/list_alerts/? Expires=expires_value&AccessID=accessid_value&Signature=signature_value`  
Remember to replace `base_url`, `expires_value`, `accessid_value`, and `signature_value`.

For all PUT and POST Calls being made the content-type header is mandatory.

{"content-type": "application/json"} is to be sent as part of the headers unless specified otherwise.

A status code 415 response is given in the case of invalid content-type provided.

Use the following script in the **Pre-request Script** section to generate the **Expires** and **Signature** parameters in Postman:

``` javascript
var accessid = pm.environment.get("accessid");
var secret_key = pm.environment.get("secretkey");
/*
  -Generating epoch time
  -Epoch time is being sent in Expires parameter of the request
  -Signature is generated using the accessid and expires parameter
*/
pm.environment.set("unixtimestamp",Math.round(Date.now()/1000));
var expires = pm.environment.get("unixtimestamp")+300;
pm.environment.set('UTC Timezone', new Date().toISOString());
pm.environment.set("expires", expires);
var to_sign = accessid+"\n"+expires;
/*
Generate Signature for Authentication
  -Key-based hashing is done using HMAC-SHA1 algorithm
  -This is then converted into Base64 format
  -Finally, the generated signature is URL-encoded
*/
var hash = CryptoJS.HmacSHA1(to_sign, secret_key);
var hashInBase64 = CryptoJS.enc.Base64.stringify(hash);
pm.environment.set("signature",encodeURIComponent(hashInBase64));
/*
Set authentication credentials in request parameters
*/
pm.request.addQueryParams(`AccessID=${accessid}`)
pm.request.addQueryParams(`Signature=${pm.environment.get('signature')}`)
pm.request.addQueryParams(`Expires=${pm.environment.get('expires')}`)

 ```

Use the following Python script to generate the **Expires** and **Signature** parameters to use in Python integrations:

``` python
