What’s New?
Retrieve and Import Library Polices
GET and POST /pcas/v1/library/
With this release, we are introducing new Library Policy APIs. These APIs allow you to retrieve and import library policies. They make the process faster and more efficient, helping users save both time and effort.
To retrieve and import library polices, use the following APIs:
- Library Label
- Library Label Technology
- Library Policy
- Library Policy Details
- Import Library Policy
Get Posture Info API: View Scan Source and Last Detection Date
POST /pcrs/5.0/posture/postureInfo/
In the previous release, two enhancements were introduced to the Get Posture AP, viewing the QDS score in the API response and retrieving posture information using the Posture ID. With this release, the Get Posture Info API response now also includes the scan source and the date when the asset was last detected by the scanner or agent.
