GET /api/v1/campaign/associated_with_intelligence/?value={value}

GET /api/v1/campaign/associated_with_intelligence/?ids={comma_separated_id_list}

For example,

GET /api/v1/campaign/associated_with_intelligence/?value=google.com returns all Campaigns associated with google.com.

Get a list of observables associated with the specified Campaign GET /api/v1/campaign/{id}/intelligence/

Response

Format: JSON

Attributes: See the table below

Notes:
  • Attributes with "related" data type return 0 to N number of values. For example, if a threat model entity belongs to more than one trusted circle, both will be returned.
  • For information on limiting results and returning large datasets while mitigating performance impacts, see Limiting Results.

skip_associations

(On ThreatStream OnPrem only)

boolean

By default, up to 1000 threat model and observable associations are returned with GET requests for details of a threat model entity on ThreatStream OnPrem. When a threat model entity has a large number of associations, association retrieval can take a long time and impact performance. Therefore, Anomali recommends setting the skip_associations parameter to true. This parameter is only applicable to ThreatStream OnPrem.

For example,

GET /api/v1/campaign/{id}/?skip_associations=true

skip_intelligence

(On ThreatStream OnPrem only)

boolean

By default, up to 1000 threat model and observable associations are returned with GET requests for details of a threat model entity on ThreatStream OnPrem. When a threat model entity has a large number of associations, association retrieval can take a long time and impact performance. Therefore, Anomali recommends setting the skip_intelligence parameter to true. This parameter is only applicable to ThreatStream OnPrem.

For example,

GET /api/v1/campaign/{id}/?skip_intelligence=true
