Balbix REST API

The Balbix REST API (v1) gives programmatic read access to the asset, vulnerability, misconfiguration, software-inventory and application inventory Balbix discovers - the Continuous Threat Exposure Management half of SAFE's platform since the 2025 acquisition. Assets are addressed by an integer Device ID resolved through /asset_list from any combination of hostname, IP and MAC; applications by an App ID. Responses carry CVSS scores, CVE and CWE identifiers, CPE strings, MITRE ATT&CK tactic/technique pairs and a Balbix exposure score. Authentication is HTTP Basic plus a customer key against /apis/v1/gen_token, which mints a 30-minute session token sent bare in Authorization alongside a Client-API-Key tenant header - a different calling convention from the SAFE One API. The API is explicitly read-only, is served from a per-tenant *.balbix.net host issued by Balbix, and credentials can currently only be created by Balbix engineering or customer success rather than self-service.
