AI Defense Inspection Credentials

Prerequisites

Have access to an AI Defense application configured for API-based runtime protection and permission to create or update its API connection.

Generating an API key

Create the key in AI Defense:

1. Select Applications and open an API application. If needed, select Add Application, enter a name, choose API, and select Continue.
2. Open the application's API Connections page and select Add Connection.
3. Enter a connection name and select Add connection.
4. On the Add API key page, enter a key name and choose an expiration date, or select Never Expire.
5. Select Generate API Key and copy the key to a secure location. It cannot be viewed again after the page is closed.
6. If inspection uses a stored policy, associate that policy with the connection. Otherwise, specify the inspection rules in each API request.

For more information, see the official AI Defense Inspection API authentication instructions.

Creating an account key

Complete the following steps to create an AI Defense Inspection account key:

1. From the left navigation menu, select Automation > Targets.
2. From the Account Keys tab, select New account key.
3. On the New Account Key page, select AI Defense Inspection Credentials from the Account Key Type list.
