Get Your Advanced WildFire Public Cloud API Key From the WildFire Portal

Follow these steps to retrieve the API key used to access the WildFire public API using the WildFire portal:
Palo Alto Networks recommends token-based API authentication for all new and existing WildFire API workflows. Token-based authentication provides stronger security through tenant isolation (TSG-ID), service account binding, and centralized credential management in Strata Cloud Manager. API key authentication and the legacy WildFire portal are being deprecated—you must use Strata Cloud Manager to create and manage all WildFire API credentials going forward. Migrate your existing API key workflows to token-based authentication to avoid service disruption when API key support ends.
  1. Log in to the WildFire portal.
  2. Get the API key(s)
