API Reference

API Reference

All new IRIS-NG features are exposed under /api/v2/. The legacy API (/case/..., /manage/...) remains for backwards compatibility with existing n8n workflows and clients.

Response shape: /api/v2/ returns the payload directly as the JSON body — no {status, message, data} wrapper. Read it as-is.

Authentication: API key via Authorization: Bearer <key>, or session cookie.

CSRF: POST/PUT/DELETE requires X-CSRFToken header (read from <input id="csrf_token">), or csrf_token form field for multipart/form-data requests.

Legacy API (backwards-compatible, not recommended for new clients)

The legacy API is documented in the upstream DFIR-IRIS API reference. Key endpoints used by n8n workflows and the upstream documentation:

Path	Notes
GET /manage/cases/list	Case list (used by n8n)
GET /case/export?cid=<id>	Full case JSON export (LLM input)
POST /case/summary/update?cid=<id>	Update case summary
GET /case/timeline/advanced-filter?cid=<id>	Master timeline list (feeds current_timeline in the UI)
POST /case/timeline/events/flag/<id>?cid=<id>	Toggle event flag (v1 only)

Note: the cid parameter is always a query-string parameter in the legacy API, not a body field. Putting it in the body silently fails ACL checks.
