Attack Path: Export Attack Paths and Techniques

Tenable has added new export endpoints for Attack Path, enabling you to export attack path and attack technique data programmatically in JSON or CSV format. You can submit export requests based on search criteria and retrieve results asynchronously. Exported data can be used for offline analysis, reporting, or integration with external systems.

This enhancement enables you to:

Export complete datasets for attack paths and attack techniques
Retrieve export results asynchronously using an export ID
Integrate Attack Path data into external tools and workflows
Perform large data exports without UI limitations

The new endpoints are described in the following table:

API Endpoint	Name	Description
POST /api/v1/export/attack-path	Export top attack paths	Submits an export request for top attack paths that match the specified search criteria. Returns an export ID used to check the status of the export and download the results.
POST /api/v1/export/attack-technique	Export attack techniques	Submits an export request for attack technique data that matches the specified search criteria. Returns an export ID used to check the status of the export and download the results.
GET /api/v1/export/{export_id}/status	Get export status	Retrieves the current status of an attack path or attack technique export request.
GET /api/v1/export/{export_id}/download	Download export	Downloads the results of a completed attack path or attack technique export request. The response format depends on the `file_format` specified in the original export request.

How the export process works

The export workflow includes these steps:

Submit an export request using one of the export endpoints.
Use the returned export_id to check the export status.
When the export is complete, download the results using the download endpoint.
