  1. Login to your SecurityScorecard account at https://platform.securityscorecard.io/#/start

  2. Click on the menu in the top right and select "My Settings"


  3. Select "API" and then click on "Generate New API Token"


  4. Read the warning message and click "Confirm"


  5. Copy your API token

Lastly, create a SecurityScorecard credential in Tines

  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 SecurityScorecard credential

    1. Name: SecurityScorecard

    2. Description: Optional

    3. Value: Your API token

  5. Optional

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

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