Huntress - How do I link my account?

OverviewCopy Anchor Link

To authenticate with Huntress, you will need:

1. API Key - A Huntress API key that starts with hk_.
2. API Secret - A Huntress API secret that starts with hs_.

Huntress recommends user API keys. User API keys mirror the permissions of the user who generates them, while the older account API key is deprecated and read-only.

Huntress also publishes a screenshot walkthrough for generating API keys.
