Dataminr Pulse is a real-time information discovery platform that provides critical alerts from publicly available data sources.

Dataminr Pulse is a leading real-time information discovery platform that provides critical alerts on global events. By integrating Dataminr Pulse with Swimlane Turbine, users can seamlessly retrieve and manage real-time alerts and preconfigured alert lists. This integration empowers security teams to enhance situational awareness and respond swiftly to emerging threats, leveraging Dataminr's comprehensive alerting capabilities within the Swimlane Turbine environment.

## Prerequisites

Before you can use the Dataminr Pulse connector for Swimlane, you'll need access to the Dataminr API. This requires the following:

- OAuth2 authorization using the following parameters:
  - URL: The endpoint for accessing Dataminr's API services.
  - Client ID: A unique identifier for your application to authenticate with Dataminr.
  - Client Secret: A secret key used in conjunction with the Client ID to authenticate your application securely.

## Asset Setup

You will need a `client ID` and `client secret` along with the `url` to access the API.

## Capabilities

This Connector provides the following capabilities:

- Get Alerts
- Get Alert Lists

## Get Alerts

Input param `query` is required if `lists` is not provided.

Input param `lists` is required if `query` is not provided.

For `cyber specific alerts` only an additional `metadata` object will be returned in the alert object. A description of this object and related fields, along with an example of a cyber alert, is provided below.
