How to Set Up an API Server

NinjaOne Field CTO Jeff Hunter shows how to set up an API server. An API server is a framework for securely integrating data from other services into NinjaOne. One example (and next week's video) would be retrieving current CVE data from a third-party vulnerability scanner and regularly importing that CVE data into NinjaOne for visibility and remediation.
