urlscan.io is a free service to scan and analyze websites. Here's our guide for authenticating urlscan using Tines.

First, get a urlscan API key:

  1. Navigate to www.urlscan.io and click "Login", New urlscan users can create a new account via the "Create one!" link

  2. On the left-hand side, click "Settings & API"

  3. Click "Create New API key"

5. Copy the API key.

Lastly, create a urlscan credential in Tines

URLScan.io connect flow (recommended):

  1. Login to your Tines tenant

  2. Navigate to the team that will be using the API and click "Credentials"

  3. Click "+ New Credential" and select "URLScan.io" and follow the prompts to connect.

Manual credential creation

This method is not recommended as the URLScan.io connect flow creates this credential with much less complexity. However, if you need to create this credential set manually, see the following steps below:

  1. Login to your Tines tenant

  2. Navigate to the team that will be using the API and click "Credential"

  3. Click "+ New Credential" and select "Text"

  4. Input the values for the credential

    1. Name: Required

    2. Description: Optional

    3. Value: API Key

  5. Optional

    1. Domains: Ensure that this credential can only be used when making HTTP requests to specific domains.

    2. Access: What other teams can also use the API
