Rapid7 IntSights External Threat Intelligence API

Rapid7 IntSights (Threat Command) REST API for external threat intelligence and digital risk protection platform. Enables AI agents to manage cyber threat alert retrieval and lifecycle management, handle dark web and deep web monitoring for exposed credentials and data, access brand mention and impersonation detection for takedown workflows, retrieve threat actor intelligence and attack pattern data, manage vulnerability intelligence and exploit monitoring for external-facing assets, handle leaked credential alert processing and employee exposure monitoring, access phishing and malicious domain detection and takedown requests, retrieve IoC (Indicator of Compromise) enrichment and threat feeds, manage third-party vendor exposure monitoring, and integrate external threat intelligence with SIEM, SOAR, and incident response platforms.

Best When

An enterprise using Rapid7 IntSights (Threat Command) wants AI agents to automate threat alert processing, credential leak response, brand protection takedowns, IoC enrichment, and SIEM/SOAR integration.

Avoid When

DATA SENSITIVITY: Dark web and threat actor intelligence data is highly sensitive — restrict access to authorized security personnel only. Automated takedown actions via API must include human review for false positive risk. Leaked credential data contains sensitive PII; handle with strict access controls and notification processes.

Use Cases

  • Processing dark web credential leak alerts from SOC automation agents
  • Managing brand impersonation takedowns from brand protection agents
  • Enriching IoCs with external threat context from threat intel agents
  • Monitoring vendor cyber exposure from third-party risk agents

Not For

  • Internal vulnerability scanning without external threat monitoring focus
  • Endpoint detection without external exposure and brand risk context
  • Consumer identity protection without enterprise threat intelligence context

Known Gotchas

  • DATA SENSITIVITY: Dark web credential data contains PII; strict access controls and breach notification protocols required for automated processing
  • Webhooks preferred — use webhooks for real-time alert processing rather than polling; API rate limits apply to alert retrieval
  • Alert lifecycle management — alerts have status workflows (open, remediated, rejected); automate status updates as part of incident response pipeline
  • Rapid7 ecosystem — Threat Command integrates with Rapid7 InsightIDR and InsightVM; leverage native integrations where available over direct API
  • Takedown requests — automated takedown submission via API requires human review before submission; false positives cause legitimate site disruption
  • Account ID required — all API calls require both API key and account ID; store both securely and rotate API keys regularly
