Returns all of the configurations and their status, on a per-device basis.

There are different API calls to get different types of data. Because the amount of data can be large, there are two ways it can be retrieved:

  • Export secure configuration assessment JSON response: The API pulls all data in your organization as Json responses. This method is best for small organizations with less than 100-K devices. The response is paginated, so you can use the @odata.nextLink field from the response to fetch the next results.

  • Export secure configuration assessment via files: This API solution enables pulling larger amounts of data faster and more reliably. Therefore, it is recommended for large organizations, with more than 100-K devices. This API pulls all data in your organization as download files. The response contains URLs to download all the data from Azure Storage. This API enables you to download all your data from Azure Storage as follows:

    • Call the API to get a list of download URLs with all your organization data.

    • Download all the files using the download URLs and process the data as you like.

Data that is collected (using either JSON response or via files) is the current snapshot of the current state, and does not contain historic data. In order to collect historic data, customers must save the data in their own data storages.

Note

Unless indicated otherwise, all export assessment methods listed are full export and by device (also referred to as per device).

1. Export secure configuration assessment (JSON response)

1.1 API method description

This API response contains the Secure Configuration Assessment on your exposed devices, and returns an entry for every unique combination of DeviceId, ConfigurationId.

1.1.1 Limitations

  • Maximum page size is 200,000.

  • Rate limitations for this API are 30 calls per minute and 1000 calls per hour.

1.2 Permissions

One of the following permissions is required to call this API. To learn more, including how to choose permissions, see Use Microsoft Defender for Endpoint APIs for details.

Permission type Permission Permission display name
Application Vulnerability.Read.All 'Read Threat and Vulnerability Management vulnerability information'
Delegated (work or school account) Vulnerability.Read 'Read Threat and Vulnerability Management vulnerability information'

1.3 URL

GET /api/machines/SecureConfigurationsAssessmentByMachine

1.4 Parameters

  • pageSize (default = 50,000): Number of results in response.
  • $top: Number of results to return (doesn't return @odata.nextLink and therefore doesn't pull all the data).

1.5 Properties

Note

  • The properties defined in the following table are listed alphabetically, by property ID. When running this API, the resulting output will not necessarily be returned in the same order listed in this table.
  • Some additional columns might be returned in the response. These columns are temporary and might be removed, please use only the documented columns.
