Manage Umbrella API Keys

The Umbrella API enables you to programmatically manage and protect your networks, network entities, and users. You can manage access to destinations, view and update policies, and gain insight into your security events through Umbrella reports. Use your Umbrella API key and secret to generate an Umbrella access token. Then include your token in a request to the Umbrella API. For more information, see Umbrella API Authentication.

You can create any number of granular, multi-scoped Umbrella API keys and set an expiration date for your API key. If you do not choose an API key expiration date, your API key is set to never expire. You control how an Umbrella API key can access the Umbrella resources. An API key can only access the API resources found in the API key scopes. For each scope and resource, choose Read-Only or Read/Write access.
