# CrowdStrike credentials

You can use these credentials to authenticate when using the [HTTP Request node](/integrations/builtin/core-nodes/n8n-nodes-base.httprequest.md) to make a [Custom API call](/integrations/builtin/custom-api-actions-for-existing-nodes.md).

## Prerequisites <a href="#prerequisites" id="prerequisites"></a>

Create a [CrowdStrike](https://www.crowdstrike.com/en-us/) account.

## Authentication methods <a href="#authentication-methods" id="authentication-methods"></a>

* OAuth2

## Related resources <a href="#related-resources" id="related-resources"></a>

Refer to CrowdStrike's documentation for more information about the service. Their documentation is behind a log in, so you must log in to your account on their website to access the API documentation.

This is a credential-only node. Refer to [Custom API operations](/integrations/builtin/custom-api-actions-for-existing-nodes.md) to learn more. View [example workflows and related content](https://n8n.io/integrations/crowdstrike/) on n8n's website.

## Using OAuth2 <a href="#using-oauth2" id="using-oauth2"></a>

To configure this credential, you'll need:

* The **URL** of your CrowdStrike instance
* A **Client ID**: Generated by creating a new API Client in Crowdstrike in **Support > API Clients and Keys**.
* A **Client Secret**: Generated by creating a new API Client in Crowdstrike in **Support > API Clients and Keys**.

When setting up your API client, grant it the `usermgmt:read` scope. n8n relies on this to test that the credential is working.

A broad outline of the appropriate steps is available publicly at the CrowdStrike blog: [Getting Access to the CrowdStrike API](https://www.crowdstrike.com/blog/tech-center/get-access-falcon-apis/). CrowdStrike's full documentation is behind a log in, so you must log in to your account to access the full API documentation.
