Requirements

Users need an API key for their own configuration. Sign up and subscribe to the service to obtain the required API key credentials.

Configure the incoming feed

1. Create or edit an incoming feed.

2. From the Transport type drop-down menu, select Cisco Threat Grid Curated Feed.

3. From the Content type drop-down menu, select STIX 1.2.

4. The API URL field is automatically filled in with the default domain for the endpoint.
   You can add a proxy or set up ports according to your needs.
   Default value: https://panacea.threatgrid.com/api/v3/.

5. In the API key field, enter the API key from Cisco.

6. The SSL verification checkbox is automatically selected.

7. In the Path to SSL certificate file field, you can enter the path to your PEM file.
   It is also possible to leave the field blank.

8. From the Feed type drop-down menu, select the data source you want the incoming feed to retrieve data from.

9. Click the Start ingesting from field, and use the drop-down calendar to select an initial date and, where available, an initial time to fetch content from the intelligence provider/data source starting from a specific date in the past.
   If you do not specify any start date, the default start date is 6 months in the past.
   This means that if you leave this field empty, the incoming feed will fetch data as old as 6 months until the present time.
