PEP 8query_submissions
Find IDs for submitted scans by providing a FQL filter and paging details. Returns a set of volume IDs that match your criteria.

Passing credentials

WARNING

client_id and client_secret are keyword arguments that contain your CrowdStrike API credentials. Please note that all examples below do not hard code these values. (These values are ingested as strings.)

CrowdStrike does not recommend hard coding API credentials or customer identifiers within source code.

date_ranges
Service Class Support

No Uber Class Support
bodylist of dictionariesApplies to date_range aggregations.

Example:
[
  {
    "from": "2016-05-28T09:00:31Z",
    "to": "2016-05-30T09:00:31Z"

]
field
Service Class Support

No Uber Class Support
bodystringThe field on which to compute the aggregation.
filter
Service Class Support

No Uber Class Support
bodystringFQL syntax formatted string to use to filter the results.
interval
Service Class Support

No Uber Class Support
bodystringTime interval for date histogram aggregations. Valid values include:
  • year
  • month
  • week
  • day
  • hour
  • minute
min_doc_count
Service Class Support

No Uber Class Support
bodyintegerOnly return buckets if values are greater than or equal to the value here.
missing
Service Class Support

No Uber Class Support
bodystringMissing is the value to be used when the aggregation field is missing from the object. In other words, the missing parameter defines how documents that are missing a value should be treated. By default they will be ignored, but it is also possible to treat them as if they had a value.
name
Service Class Support

No Uber Class Support
bodystringName of the aggregate query, as chosen by the user. Used to identify the results returned to you.
q
Service Class Support

No Uber Class Support
bodystringFull text search across all metadata fields.
ranges
Service Class Support

No Uber Class Support
bodylist of dictionariesApplies to range aggregations. Ranges values will depend on field.

For example, if max_severity is used, ranges might look like:
[
  {
    "From": 0,
    "To": 70
  },
  {
    "From": 70,
    "To": 100
  }
]

bodyintegerThe max number of term buckets to be returned.
sub_aggregates
Service Class Support

No Uber Class Support
bodylist of dictionariesA nested aggregation, such as:
[
  {
    "name": "max_first_behavior",
    "type": "max",
    "field": "first_behavior"
  }
]

There is a maximum of 3 nested aggregations per request.
sort
Service Class Support

No Uber Class Support
bodystringFQL syntax string to sort bucket results.
  • _count - sort by document count
  • _term - sort by the string value alphabetically
Supports asc and desc using | format.

Example: _count|desc
time_zone
Service Class Support

No Uber Class Support
bodystringTime zone for bucket results.
type
Service Class Support

No Uber Class Support
bodystringType of aggregation. Valid values include:
  • date_histogram - Aggregates counts on a specified time interval. Requires use of “interval” field.
  • date_range - Aggregates counts on custom defined date range buckets. Can include multiple ranges. (Similar to time series, but the bucket sizes are variable). Date formats to follow ISO 8601.
  • terms - Buckets detections by the value of a specified field. For example, if field used is scenario, then detections will be bucketed by the various detection scenario names.
  • range - Buckets detections by specified (numeric) ranges of a specified field. For example, if doing a range aggregation on the max_severity field, the detects will be counted by the specified ranges of severity.
  • cardinality - Returns the count of distinct values in a specified field.
  • max - Returns the maximum value of a specified field.
  • min - Returns the minimum value of a specified field.
  • avg - Returns the average value of the specified field.
  • sum - Returns the total sum of all values for the specified field.
  • percentiles - Returns the following percentiles for the specified field: 1, 5, 25, 50, 75, 95, 99.
