Match Details

Use this set of APIs to retrieve detailed information about matches and match chunks found in files.

List Objects with Matches

Get detailed information about folder and files that contain matches for a given Target. Returned results include object details, remediation log, summary of matches found within the file (e.g. breakdown by match type and data type), and a list of all the match locations within the file.

Path Parameters

Parameter	Data Type	Description
target_id	string	Specify Target to retrieve data for. target_id is the targets->id response item from the /v1/groups/all endpoint.

Query Parameters

Parameter	Data Type	Description
location_id	string	Filter results for a specific Target Location. If no value is specified, response returns data for all Target Locations under the given target_id. location_id is the targets->locations->id response item from the /v1/groups/all endpoint.
data_types	string example: data_types=Email+addresses	List results for specific matched data types. If the data type value is not valid, results will be returned for all data types. Refer to the name response item from the /v1/datatypes/builtins endpoint.
remediation_status	string example: remediation_status=partially+masked	Filter results for specific remediation or operation status. If the remediation or operation status value is not valid, results will be returned for all statuses. See Operation Status for the full list of supported ER2 operation statuses.
sort_by	string enum: label owner matches status example: sort_by=status	Sort file records by path label, owner, match count or remediation status. By default records are sorted by label.
descending	boolean default: false enum: true false	Set true to sort records in descending order.
file_name	string	Filter results by matching file names.
offset	integer default: 0	The first file containing matches to return data for. For offset=N, data will be fetched starting from the Nth file containing matches. If no value is specified or offset=0, query will return data from the very first file containing matches. Sorting of records is dependent on the sort_by and descending parameter values.
limit	integer <days> default: 1000 max: 100000	Maximum number of file containing matches to return data for, starting from the first record determined by the offset parameter value.
details	boolean default: false	Show (true) or hide (false) certain details for matched files (e.g. summary of remedial actions and summary of matched data types).

Header Parameters

Parameter	Data Type	Description
Accept-Encoding	string enum: gzip deflate	Specify the compression algorithm to use on the response object. Compressed content will not be returned for endpoints that return reports as files (e.g. PDF, CSV etc), endpoints that return binary files (e.g. Node Agent installers) or unsuccessful API calls.

Response Item	Data Type	Description
id	integer	This object ID is automatically assigned to each file when a match is found. Example: A ZIP file contains "FileA.txt" and "FileB.txt", and matches were found in both files. "FileA.txt" and "FileB.txt" would both be assigned a separate id, but no id will be returned for the ZIP file.
