API Keys

An API Key consists of an Access Key and a Secret Key. API Keys authenticate with the Nessus REST API (version 6.4 or greater) and pass with requests using the X-ApiKeys HTTP header.

Note:

Nessus only presents API Keys upon initial generation. Store API keys in a safe location.
Tenable Nessus cannot retrieve API Key. If you lose your API Key, you must generate a new API Key.
Regenerating an API Key immediately deauthorizes any applications currently using the key.
