Flare exposes Intelligence Feeds delivered via TAXII 2. The TAXII discovery endpoint is https://api.flare.io/taxii2/; point your TAXII client at it and it will discover the available API roots and feeds below.

Available Feeds

Flare serves two curated CTI feeds, split by STIX object type:
  • The CTI SDO Feed delivers STIX Domain Objects (indicators and related Flare-curated cyber threat intelligence).
  • The CTI SRO Feed delivers STIX Relationship Objects — the relationship objects that link the SDOs together.
Feed URLs can be constructed using:
  • CTI SDO Feed
    • Format: https://api.flare.io/taxii2/cti/collections/<TAXII 2 Collection ID>/
    • Example: https://api.flare.io/taxii2/cti/collections/f1a4ec71-0c00-4f5f-9dbd-e8a4cd33aa66/
  • CTI SRO Feed
    • Format: https://api.flare.io/taxii2/cti/relationships/collections/<TAXII 2 Collection ID>/
    • Example: https://api.flare.io/taxii2/cti/relationships/collections/f1a4e540-2c14-4d5f-8bbc-2e7eb31ad104/

Deprecated Feeds

The feeds below are deprecated in favor of the CTI SDO and CTI SRO feeds above. Please migrate existing integrations to the /taxii2/cti/ API roots.
Deprecated feed URLs can be constructed using:
  • Format: https://api.flare.io/taxii2/collections/<TAXII 2 ID>/
  • Example: https://api.flare.io/taxii2/collections/d6092c37-d8d7-45c3-8aff-c4dc26030608/

Authentication

The intelligence feeds use HTTP Basic Auth, which most TAXII clients support:
  • The username should be set to api-key.
  • The password should be your Flare API Key.
Obtaining an API key is documented in the Authentication Guide .

Query Parameters

Supported match[type] values

The match[type] parameter accepts one or more STIX object types (comma-separated, e.g. ?match[type]=indicator,malware). The CTI SDO Feed serves the types below; the relationship type is served exclusively by the CTI SRO Feed. Any value outside this list returns 400 Unsupported match[type]. STIX 2.1 SDO types Flare-specific extensions These are Flare extensions that have no standard STIX SDO counterpart.
match[type]=relationship is not valid on the CTI SDO Feed and returns a 400. STIX relationship objects are served by the CTI SRO Feed at https://api.flare.io/taxii2/cti/relationships/collections/<TAXII 2 Collection ID>/.

Code Examples

Code examples for connecting to the feeds can be found in this Github repository: The following example uses taxii2-client, which is available on PyPI.
