Search API

Documentation of the Search API endpoints

/file/treeview

The Search API endpoint /file/treeview was added in June 2025. It returns a JSON array of items that represent the data visualized in the “Tree View” to intelx.io end-users. Essentially, this returns a list of other items linked to a given item. Intelligence X links related items such as,

  • Stealer Logs that contain a collection of files in a single container file (typically a ZIP or RAR file)
  • Other container files that represent a single leak
  • Large files that are broken up into multiple files
  • Archived website copies (different URLs) to a single domain
  • Archived website copies (different historical copies of the same URL) to a single URL

This endpoint is only available to users with a valid API, Identity, or Enterprise license.

The required parameters for the request are:

Request: GET /file/treeview?storageid=[storage identifier]&bucket=[bucket]
Request: GET /file/treeview?systemid=[system ID]&bucket=[bucket]

To use this endpoint, it requires as input either:

  1. The System ID in the systemid= parameter to specify the item which Tree View data shall be returned.
  2. The Storage ID in the storageid= parameter of the actual Tree View file. This is the same identifier that is returned in the search results from the /intelligent/search/result endpoint in the field indexfile. This is the preferred way.

The bucket= parameter is required to specify the bucket of the item (which is again available in the search result data).

The result is a JSON encoded array of items that are linked to the original item. Note that only the following fields are populated (the others are empty and not used): systemid, name, date, media, type, size
