Facebook Releases ThreatExchange API Documentation
Facebook released the API documentation for ThreatExchange -- its way for tech companies to share information on security threats -- via GitHub.
Facebook introduced ThreatExchange last month as a way for tech companies to share information about malware and other security threats, and the social network announced Friday that the application-programming-interface documentation for ThreatExchange, as well as the PHP and Python reference code, are now available on GitHub.
Facebook threat infrastructure team manager Mark Hammell also offered details on how graph-based sharing of threat intelligence works in a note on the ThreatExchange page:
The first thing to understand about the design of ThreatExchange is that it’s a subset of APIs residing within the much larger set of Graph APIs used by third-party developers to programmatically interact with Facebook.
