Create Investigate API Keys

The Umbrella Investigate API follows RESTful principles. You must include a Bearer token in the Authorization header for all API requests. We recommend that you create Umbrella API keys (client ID and client secret), and use these keys to generate OAuth 2.0 access tokens.

The Umbrella Investigate API enables you to research domains, IP addresses, and URLs that are seen by the Umbrella DNS resolvers.

To get started, sign into Umbrella at https://investigate.umbrella.com with your Umbrella Investigate account credentials.
