Summary

Tines has introduced a new feature that allows users to build APIs, enabling the creation of more powerful, code-free workflows by connecting various tools and processes. This update facilitates the sharing of API endpoints with both internal and external teams, allowing them to integrate these APIs into their applications without exposing the underlying systems like HR, IT, or threat intelligence tools. Users can create APIs for tasks such as internal employee lookups, IP address enrichment, device owner searches, and IT ticket creation, all while maintaining centralized API key control. Building an API in Tines involves enabling the "send to story" option in workflows and configuring the exit action to return data as an HTTP response. Tines has also developed its own free APIs for users, including utilities like WHOIS information retrieval and reverse IP lookups, which can be accessed without manual authentication. The Tines Toolkit, which includes these APIs, will soon be available to all tenants, with early access available through a form submission.
