- Description of service interface
- The READ. front-end user interface (Analyst In the Loop) allows an Analyst to approve or review the automatically-suggested STIX entity categorisation before accepting it for importing into their desired tool (TIP, SIEM, SOAR etc.). Entities can be added, removed and edited by Analysts, who also have the control to add additional entities such as attack patterns and intrusion set SDOs to the report before final output. Analyst feedback within READ. is fed back to Elemendar’s ML engine to further improve the system’s future performance for the customer’s specific datasets.

- What users can and can't do using the API
-
The Elemendar READ API allows users to perform specific actions related to the analysis of documents or web pages. The following is a summary of what users can do using our API, how they can set it up, make changes, and the limitations involved:
Setting Up the Service Through the API:
Users can initiate the service by submitting a request for the analysis of a document or web page.
Authentication is directly managed by Elemendar, ensuring secure access.
Making Changes Through the API:
The primary modification users can make via the API involves the submission of new data for analysis. This could be a new document or a different web page from the initial submission.
Users can retrieve the analysis results of their submitted documents or web pages at any time after analysis is complete.
Limitations:
The API is designed exclusively for the submission of documents or web pages for analysis and the subsequent retrieval of these analysis results.
The ability to directly manipulate the analysis process, beyond the initial submission for analysis, isn't available through the API. - API documentation
