This section describes how to quickly get started with the Plerion API
using curl. For a more detailed guide, see the sections below.
1. Install curl if it isn't already installed on your machine. To check if
curl is installed, execute curl --version in the command
line. If the output is information about the version of curl, it is
installed. If you get a message similar to command not found:
curl, you need to download and install curl. For more
information, see the curl project
download page.
2. Create a Tenant API key accessing Tenant API Keys Dashboard. Warning: Treat your API key like a password. Do not store it as plain text or expose it in any code base.
3. Use the curl command to make your request. Pass your API
key in an Authorization header. Replace {PLERION_API_KEY}
with your API key.
export PLERION_API_URL=au.api.plerion.com
export PLERION_API_KEY={PLERION_API_KEY}
curl --request GET \\
--url "https://$PLERION_API_URL/v1/tenant/findings" \\
--header "Authorization: Bearer $PLERION_API_KEY"

Plerion API uses API keys to authenticate requests. You can view and
manage your API keys in the Plerion app Tenant API Keys Dashboard.
API responses are JSON-encoded.
To authenticate to Plerion API send the API Key using bearer auth in the Authorization header
Authorization: Bearer $PLERION_API_KEY
All API requests must be made over HTTPS. Calls made over plain HTTP will
fail. API requests without authentication will also fail.
Plerion uses conventional HTTP response codes to indicate the success or failure of an API request. In general: Codes in the 2xx range indicate success. Codes in the 4xx range indicate an error that failed given the information provided (e.g., a required parameter was omitted). Codes in the 5xx range indicate an error with Plerion's servers. Some 4xx errors that could be handled programmatically include an error code that briefly explains the error reported. Detailed description for the status code can be found in th Response Status Codes section.
| Status Code | Definition | Description |
|---|---|---|
| 200 | OK | The request has succeeded. |
| 201 | Created | The request has been fulfilled and resulted in a new resource being created. |
| 204 | No Content | The server has fulfilled the request but does not need to return an entity-body. |
| 400 | Bad Request | The request could not be understood by the server due to malformed syntax. The client SHOULD NOT repeat the request without modifications. |
| 401 | Unauthorized | The request requires user authentication. If the request already included Authorization credentials, then the 401 response indicates that authorization has been refused for those credentials. |
| 403 | Forbidden | The server understood the request, but is refusing to fulfill it. Authorization will not fix the issue and the request SHOULD NOT be repeated. |
| 404 | Not Found | The server has not found anything matching the Request-URI. |
| 405 | Method Not Allowed | The method specified in the Request-Line is not allowed for the resource identified by the Request-URI. |
| 409 | Conflict | The request could not be completed due to a conflict with the current state of the resource. |
| 412 | Precondition Failed | The resource changed after the version supplied in the If-Match header. Read the resource again and retry the request with the version returned. |
| 429 | Too Many Requests | Too many requests occurred during the allotted time period and rate limiting was applied. |
| 500 | Internal Server Error | The request did not complete due to an internal error on the server side. The server encountered an unexpected condition which prevented it from fulfilling the request. |
| 503 | Service Unavailable | The server is currently unable to handle the request due to a temporary overloading or maintenance of the server. |

Code security scans infrastructure-as-code before it reaches a cloud
environment, so a misconfiguration is caught in the pull request rather
than after deployment.
Upload a Terraform, CloudFormation or Kubernetes archive to start a scan,
then retrieve the findings it produced and any vulnerabilities detected in
container images the templates reference.

These logs capture important events such as user logins, API calls,

description: >-
An access grant records the access that one of your AWS resources gives to
a single principal. Plerion derives grants from resource policies, IAM
role trust policies, AWS Resource Access Manager shares and cross-account
share attributes, capturing the principal, the actions allowed and any
conditions attached. Use these endpoints to pull the inventory into your
own audits or SIEM, and to record review decisions without signing in to
Plerion.

summary: Get
description: >-
Read the exemptions configured for one detection on one profile,
together with whether that detection accepts exemptions and which types
it accepts.
`version` is an opaque token to send back unchanged as `If-Match` when
replacing the set. It is `null` when the detection has never been
configured on this profile, and a replace request must then omit the
header.
Exemptions are reported as stored. A detection whose
`supportsExemptions` is `false` can still hold entries written while it
supported them, and you need to see them to clear them.
