Excluding assets from the API

I’ve looked over the API docs https://app.censys.io/api-docs for ASM, but I am not sure what endpoint is used or if there is one to exclude assets from ASM. Is there an ability to do that from the API?

I am trying to use Torq to set a quick action from their case management tool so that if we verify it no longer belongs to use, we can exclude the address or domain from Censys ASM.

Hi Natew, you cannot remove assets via the API, only via the UI. If you’d like, I can submit a feature request for this.

You could, however, use the API to add tags to assets that you want to remove, then query for assets with that tag and remove them in bulk in the UI.

@MattK_Censys Yes please. I think this is a really important feature that is missing and would benefit mass removal or even SOAR tools like Torq.

The UI is the last place I want to be when working out of my SOAR.
