Demisto

Demisto is a Security Orchestration, Automation, and Response (SOAR) platform that unifies incident case management, playbook-driven automation, real-time analyst collaboration (the "War Room"), and threat-intelligence management. Founded as an independent security startup backed by Accel and Greylock, Demisto was acquired by Palo Alto Networks in 2019 for roughly $560M and rebranded as Cortex XSOAR; the demisto.com domain now redirects to the Cortex XSOAR product. The Demisto REST API exposes incidents, war-room entries, evidence, threat indicators, and automation scripts programmatically, with a Swagger 2.0 specification, an official Python client (demisto-py), and a content-development SDK/CLI (demisto-sdk). This API Evangelist profile was enriched from the provider's public developer surface (xsoar.pan.dev, docs-cortex.paloaltonetworks.com, and the github.com/demisto organization).

Demisto publishes 24 APIs on the APIs.io network, including Apikeys API, Automation API, Classifier API, and 21 more. Tagged areas include Company, Security, SOAR, Incident Response, and Threat Intelligence.

Demisto’s developer surface includes documentation, API reference, getting-started guide, authentication, CLI, changelog, and 19 more developer resources.

Kin Score

Kin Score Kin Score How this is scored →
scored 2026-09-08 · rubric v0.20.0
Create-or-Update Ergonomics applies to this provider. This API accepts writes, so it carries 10 points of the composite. It is scored from the published contracts themselves: whether a caller can create-or-update in one call, whether the write accepts a key the caller already holds, and whether the response says which branch ran. Without that, every write needs a search-and-branch in front of it, and the first time that check is skipped a duplicate record is created. Scored against the observed mean rather than raw — a provider at the catalog average is unchanged by this facet, not penalised by it.
Improve this rating by publishing the missing artifacts — every area above can be raised, and the full rubric is at apis.io/rating/. Every facet and dimension name above is a link: it opens that measurement's own page — what it means, the exact checks that feed it, how the whole catalog distributes on it, and the providers at the top of it. This rating is computed from github.com/api-evangelist/demisto: open an issue to ask a question, or submit a pull request to add artifacts.
