[See the schema for security findings](https://docs.datadoghq.com/security/guide/findings-schema.md). ### Query Syntax{% #query-syntax %} This endpoint uses the logs query syntax. Findings attributes (living in the attributes.attributes. namespace) are prefixed by @ when queried. Tags are queried without a prefix. Example: `@severity:(critical OR high) @status:open team:platform` This endpoint requires any of the following permissions:`security_monitoring_findings_read``appsec_vm_read` OAuth apps require the `security_monitoring_findings_read` authorization [scope](https://docs.datadoghq.com/api/latest/scopes.md#security-monitoring) to access this endpoint. ### Arguments #### Query Strings | Name | Type | Description | | ------------- | ------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | filter[query] | string | The search query following log search syntax. | | page[cursor] | string | Get the next page of results with a cursor provided in the previous query. | | page[limit] | integer | The maximum number of findings in the response. | | sort | enum | Sorts by @detection_changed_at. Allowed enum values: `@detection_changed_at, -@detection_changed_at` | ### Response {% tab title="200" %} OK {% tab title="Model" %} The expected response schema when listing security findings. | Parent field | Field | Type | Description | | ------------ | ---------- | -------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | | data | [object] | Array of security findings matching the search query. | | data | attributes | object | The JSON object containing all attributes of the security finding. | | attributes | attributes | object | The custom attributes of the security finding. | | attributes | tags | [string] | List of tags associated with the security finding. | | attributes | timestamp | int64 | The Unix timestamp at which the detection changed for the resource.
