How to Use the API to Generate / Forensic Acquisition and Investigation Host Collection Scripts

If you want to deploy / Forensic Acquisition and Investigation Host via a custom integration, you can use the API to generate the / Forensic Acquisition and Investigation Host collection script. This can be useful, especially since the pre-signed URLs used to upload data expire 12 hours after being generated.

The script generated through the API can be executed on the target device to collect triage artifacts and upload them to cloud storage.

You can find an example script in the / Forensic Acquisition and Investigation API GitHub repository, which demonstrates how to generate a / Forensic Acquisition and Investigation Host collection script.
