What is the function of the CrowdStrike Falcon API?

The function of the CrowdStrike Falcon API is to interact programmatically with Falcon features, which includes accessing various aspects of the Falcon platform such as threat intelligence, incident response, and endpoint management. The API allows organizations to integrate Falcon with their existing processes and tools, enabling automation, custom reporting, and streamlined workflows that enhance cybersecurity operations. By providing this programmatic interaction, it empowers users to automate tasks and gather insights more efficiently, which is crucial in a dynamic threat landscape.

Other functions, such as data visualizations, user access management, or storing threat intelligence, are not the primary purpose of the Falcon API. While the API might facilitate integrations that can support these functions, they are not its core intended usage.
