API Integration

Overview​

The Haltdos Platform provides comprehensive API integration capabilities that enable seamless interaction with external systems, automation frameworks, and third-party security and IT tools. These APIs allow organizations to programmatically manage platform operations, configurations, and workflows without relying solely on the graphical user interface.

The same APIs are also used internally by the Haltdos Platform GUI, ensuring consistency, reliability, and parity between automated and manual operations.

Integration Capabilities​

Haltdos Platform supports integration with third-party tools and systems through standardized RESTful APIs. These integrations enable organizations to extend platform functionality and embed Haltdos services into existing enterprise ecosystems such as SIEMs, SOAR platforms, CI/CD pipelines, and monitoring tools.

Key integration capabilities include:

  • Integration with third-party security and IT management tools
  • Programmatic control of platform configurations and services
  • Automation of operational and administrative tasks
  • Event-driven and scheduled workflows through external systems

API Communication Standards​

The Haltdos Platform APIs are implemented using REST architecture and support industry-standard communication formats.

  • Protocol: HTTPS
  • API Style: RESTful
  • Supported Data Formats:
    • JSON
    • XML

These APIs are designed to be lightweight, scalable, and easily consumable by modern applications and automation frameworks.

Automation & Operational Use Cases​

API integration enables full automation of daily operational activities within the Haltdos Platform. Using APIs, organizations can automate tasks such as:

  • Policy creation, updates, and deployment
  • Configuration management
  • Monitoring and data retrieval
  • Operational workflows and scheduled jobs
  • Integration-driven responses and orchestration

This allows teams to reduce manual effort, improve operational efficiency, and maintain consistent security enforcement across environments.

Internal API Usage​

All core platform components, including the graphical user interface (GUI), leverage the same APIs exposed for external integrations. This ensures:

  • Unified behavior across GUI, CLI, and API
  • No functional disparity between manual and automated operations
  • Predictable and consistent platform behavior
  • Easier troubleshooting and auditing

Authentication & Security​

The Haltdos Platform APIs use JWT (JSON Web Token)–based authentication to ensure secure access and authorization.

Key security aspects include:

  • Token-based authentication using JWT
  • Secure API access over HTTPS
  • Role-based access control enforced at the API level
  • Protection against unauthorized access and misuse

JWT authentication enables stateless, scalable, and secure API communication across distributed environments.

Summary​

The Haltdos Platform API Integration framework enables organizations to seamlessly integrate, automate, and orchestrate platform operations using standardized REST APIs. By supporting secure authentication, flexible data formats, and full operational parity with the GUI, Haltdos APIs provide a robust foundation for enterprise-scale automation and third-party integrations.
