Integration Details

ThreatQuotient provides the following details for this integration:

Current Integration Version	1.0.0
Compatible with ThreatQ Versions	>= 5.12.1
Support Tier	ThreatQ Supported

Introduction

The Inoreader CDF enables analysts to automatically ingest RSS feeds from their subscriptions/feeds within the Inoreader platform.

The integration provides the following feed:

• Inoreader Pro - ingests Inoreader articles into ThreatQ as report objects.

The integration ingests reports and report attributes into the ThreatQ platform.

Prerequisites

The following is required to run in integration:

• An Inoreader Account with a Pro subscription. 
• An Inoreader JSON Feed URL. This can be located by viewing the Inoreader feed's properties.

Installation

Perform the following steps to install the integration:

The same steps can be used to upgrade the integration to a new version.

1. Log into https://marketplace.threatq.com/.
2. Locate and download the integration yaml file.
3. Navigate to the integrations management page on your ThreatQ instance.
4. Click on the Add New Integration button.
5. Upload the integration yaml file using one of the following methods:
   • Drag and drop the file into the dialog box
   • Select Click to Browse to locate the file on your local machine
   Select the individual feeds to install, when prompted and click Install.

   ThreatQ will inform you if the feed already exists on the platform and will require user confirmation before proceeding. ThreatQ will also inform you if the new version of the feed contains changes to the user configuration. The new user configurations will overwrite the existing ones for the feed and will require user confirmation before proceeding.

The feed will be added to the integrations page. You will still need to configure and then enable the feed.
