Select a template to support your API's structure.

Before you begin

These templates provide you with options that are based on API structures that are widely used by security tool vendors. When you select a template, you’re choosing a configuration that aligns with industry-standard ways of organizing and communicating with APIs. By selecting a common response format (JSON), HTTP methods (GET or POST), and well-known pagination strategies, connecting with a wide variety of security tools is easier, because you’re using familiar and widely adopted API patterns.

You have the option to get guidance for selecting a template with a Now Assist skill for this step. See Exploring Now Assist for Vulnerability Response for more information about the generative AI skill and Using Now Assist for Vulnerability Response in Security Posture Control about using the skill in connector framework.
