Duo Admin API

Last Updated: August 15th, 2024

Contents

The Duo Admin API provides programmatic access to the administrative functionality of Duo Security's two-factor authentication platform.

Overview

Duo Admin API is automatically available to paying Duo Premier, Duo Advantage, and Duo Essentials plan customers and new customers with an Advantage or Premier trial. Learn how to sign up for a Duo account and receive a free 30-day Duo Advantage trial.

The Admin API lets developers integrate with Duo Security's platform at a low level. The API has methods for creating, retrieving, updating, and deleting the core objects in Duo's system: users, phones, hardware tokens, admins, and integrations.

Developers can write applications that programmatically read their Duo account's authentication logs, administrator logs, and telephony logs; read or update account settings; and retrieve reports and other information.

Review the API Details to see how to construct your first API request.

About the Admin API

Documented properties will not be removed within a stable version of the API. Once a given API endpoint is documented to return a given property, a property with that name will always appear (although certain properties may only appear under certain conditions, like if the customer is using a specific edition). When Duo deprecates a property, the API continues to accept that property in requests, although it no longer has any effect.

Properties that enumerate choices may gain new values at any time, e.g. the device platform value could return new device platforms that did not previously exist. Duo may cease to return legacy values for properties as well. Duo will update our API documentation with changes to property values in a timely fashion, adding new property values or indicating changes to existing property values.

New, undocumented properties may also appear at any time. For instance, Duo may make available a beta feature involving extra information returned by an API endpoint. Until the property is documented here its format may change or it may even be entirely removed from our API.

We have started implementing v2 handlers for endpoints. In these cases, the API v1 handler remains supported, but will be limited or deprecated in the future. We encourage use of the v2 endpoints where available and recommend migrating existing API implementations to the v2 handlers.

Please note that all Unix timestamps are in seconds, except where noted.

First Steps

Role required: Owner

Note that only administrators with the Owner role can create or modify an Admin API application in the Duo Admin Panel.

  1. Sign up for a Duo account if you aren't already a customer. Your free 30-day Duo Advantage trial includes Admin API access.
  2. Log in to the Duo Admin Panel and navigate to Applications.
  3. Click Protect an Application and locate the entry for Admin API in the applications list. Click Protect to the far-right to configure the application and get your integration key, secret key, and API hostname. You'll need this information to complete your setup. See Protecting Applications for more information about protecting applications in Duo and additional application options.
  4. Treat your secret key like a password
    The security of your Duo application is tied to the security of your secret key (skey). Secure it as you would any sensitive credential. Don't share it with unauthorized individuals or email it to anyone under any circumstances!

  5. Determine the permissions you want to grant to this Admin API application. Refer to the API endpoint descriptions throughout this document for information about required permissions for operations.

    Permission Details
    Grant administrators The Admin API application can read information about, create, update, and delete Duo administrators and administrative units.
    Grant read information The Admin API application can read information about the Duo customer account's utilization.
    Grant applications The Admin API application can add, modify, and delete applications (referred to as "integrations" in the API), including permissions on itself or other Admin API applications.
    Grant settings The Admin API application can read and change global Duo account settings.
    Grant read log The Admin API application can read authentication, offline access, telephony, and administrator action log information.
    Grant read resource The Admin API application can read information about resource objects such as end users and devices.
    Grant write resource The Admin API application can create, update, and delete resource objects such as end users and devices.
  6. Optionally specify which IP addresses or ranges are allowed to use this Admin API application in Networks for API Access. If you do not specify any IP addresses or ranges, this Admin API application may be accessed from any network.

    The Admin API performs the IP check after verifying the authentication signature in a request. If you restrict the allowed networks for API access and see logged events for blocked Admin API requests from unrecognized IP addresses, this may indicate compromise of your Admin API application's secret key.

Connectivity Requirements

This application communicates with Duo's service on SSL TCP port 443.

Firewall configurations that restrict outbound access to Duo's service with rules using destination IP addresses or IP address ranges aren't recommended, since these may change over time to maintain our service's high availability. If your organization requires IP-based rules, please review Duo Knowledge Base article 1337.

Effective June 30, 2023, Duo no longer supports TLS 1.0 or 1.1 connections or insecure TLS/SSL cipher suites. See Duo Knowledge Base article 7546 for additional guidance.

API Clients

Duo Security has demonstration clients available on GitHub to call the Duo API methods.

API Details

Base URL

All API methods use your API hostname, https://api-XXXXXXXX.duosecurity.com. Obtain this value from the Duo Admin Panel and use it exactly as shown there.

Methods always use HTTPS. Unsecured HTTP is not supported.

Request Format

All requests must have "Authorization" and "Date" headers.

If the request method is GET or DELETE, URL-encode parameters and send them in the URL query string like this: /admin/v1/users?realname=First%20Last&username=root. They still go on a separate line when creating the string to sign for an Authorization header.

Send parameters for POST requests in the body as URL-encoded key-value pairs (the same request format used by browsers to submit form data). The header "Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded" must also be present.

When URL-encoding, all bytes except ASCII letters, digits, underscore ("_"), period ("."), tilde ("~"), and hyphen ("-") are replaced by a percent sign ("%") followed by two hexadecimal digits containing the value of the byte. For example, a space is replaced with "%20" and an at-sign ("@") becomes "%40". Use only upper-case A through F for hexadecimal digits.

A request with parameters, as a complete URL, would look like this: https://api-XXXXXXXX.duosecurity.com/admin/v1/users?realname=First%20Last&username=root.

Response Format

Responses are formatted as a JSON object with a top-level stat key.

Successful responses will have a stat value of "OK" and a response key. The response will either be a single object or a sequence of other JSON types, depending on which endpoint is called.

{
  "stat": "OK",
  "response": {
    "key": "value"
  }
}

Values are returned as strings unless otherwise documented.

Unsuccessful responses will have a stat value of "FAIL", an integer code, and a message key that further describes the failure. A message_detail key may be present if additional information is available (like the specific parameter that caused the error).

{
  "stat": "FAIL",
  "code": 40002,
  "message": "Invalid request parameters",
  "message_detail": "username"
}

The HTTP response code will be the first three digits of the more specific code found inside the JSON object. Each endpoint's documentation lists HTTP response codes it can return. Additionally, all API endpoints that require a signed request can return the following HTTP response codes:

Response Meaning
200 The request completed successfully.
401 The "Authorization", "Date", and/or "Content-Type" headers were missing or invalid.
403

This integration is not authorized for this endpoint or the ikey was created for a different integration type (for example, using an Auth API ikey with Admin API endpoints).

405 The request's HTTP verb is not valid for this endpoint (for example, POST when only GET is supported).
429 The account has made too many requests of this type recently. Try again later.

Response Paging

Some API endpoints return a paged list of results on GET, up to the API endpoint's limit, or maximum results per page.

A successful response when the total results exceed the endpoint's default page size will include a metadata section with information about the total number of objects found and the results returned in the paged response. If the request returns no paging metadata, then either the endpoint does not support paged results or the total results do not exceed one page.

Specifying incorrect paging parameters results in a 400 invalid parameters response.

Metadata Information Description
total_objects

An integer indicating the total number of objects retrieved by the API request across all pages of results.

next_offset

An integer indicating The offset from 0 at which to start the next paged set of results.

If not present in the metadata response, then there are no more pages of results left.

prev_offset

An integer indicating the offset from 0 at which the previous paged set of results started. If you did not specify next_offset in the request, this defaults to 0 (the beginning of the results).

Use the metadata information returned to change the paging parameters for your request.

Paging Parameter Required? Description
limit Optional

The maximum number of records returned in a paged set of results.

Each endpoint that supports paged results has its own limit settings, specified like "Default: 100; Max: 300".

If a request specifies a value greater than the endpoint's maximum limit, max value is used.

offset Optional

The offset from 0 at which to start record retrieval.

When used with "limit", the handler will return "limit" records starting at the n-th record, where n is the offset.

Default: 0

To retrieve the full set of results for a request with paged results, repeat the call, specifying the offset parameter value, until there are no more results (indicated by the absence of next_offset).

Paging Metadata Examples:

The metadata response will look like these examples except where noted for an individual API endpoint.

This metadata information indicates that there are 951 total objects returned by that endpoint, and no offset or limit was specified so the response set defaulted to the first 100 objects:

{
    "metadata": {
        "next_offset": 100,
        "prev_offset": 0,
        "total_objects": 951
    }

This metadata information indicates that the request specified offset=500 limit=200, so the response set was objects 500-699:

{
    "metadata": {
        "next_offset": 700,
        "prev_offset": 300,
        "total_objects": 11318
    }

This metadata information indicates that there are 2342 total objects, and the request specified offset=2300 and used that endpoint's default limit of 100, so the response set was the end of the list (objects 2300-2342):

{
    "metadata": {
        "prev_offset": 2200,
        "total_objects": 2342
    }

Authentication

The API uses HTTP Basic Authentication to authenticate requests. Use your Duo application's integration key as the HTTP Username.

Generate the HTTP Password as an HMAC signature of the request. This will be different for each request and must be re-generated each time.

To construct the signature, first build an ASCII string from your request, using the following components:

Component Description Example
date The current time, formatted as RFC 2822. This must be the same string as the "Date" header. Tue, 21 Aug 2012 17:29:18 -0000
method The HTTP method (uppercase) POST
host Your API hostname (lowercase) api-xxxxxxxx.duosecurity.com
path

The specific API method's path

/admin/v1/users
params

The URL-encoded list of key=value pairs, lexicographically sorted by key. These come from the request parameters (the URL query string for GET and DELETE requests or the request body for POST requests).

If the request does not have any parameters one must still include a blank line in the string that is signed.

Do not encode unreserved characters. Use upper-case hexadecimal digits A through F in escape sequences.

An example params list:

realname=First%20Last&username=root

Then concatenate these components with (line feed) newlines. For example:

Tue, 21 Aug 2012 17:29:18 -0000
POST
api-xxxxxxxx.duosecurity.com
/admin/v1/users
realname=First%20Last&username=root

GET requests also use this five-line format:

Tue, 21 Aug 2012 17:29:18 -0000
GET
api-xxxxxxxx.duosecurity.com
/admin/v1/users
username=root

Lastly, compute the HMAC-SHA1 of this canonical representation, using your Duo Admin API application's secret key as the HMAC key. Send this signature as hexadecimal ASCII (i.e. not raw binary data). Use HTTP Basic Authentication for the request, using your integration key as the username and the HMAC-SHA1 signature as the password. Signature validation is case-insensitive, so the signature may be upper or lowercase.

For example, here are the headers for the above POST request to api-XXXXXXXX.duosecurity.com/admin/v1/users, using DIWJ8X6AEYOR5OMC6TQ1 as the integration key and Zh5eGmUq9zpfQnyUIu5OL9iWoMMv5ZNmk3zLJ4Ep as the secret key:

Date: Tue, 21 Aug 2012 17:29:18 -0000
Authorization: Basic RElXSjhYNkFFWU9SNU9NQzZUUTE6YzFlZjQzNzY3YzNlYjNiMzI1OGRiZGRjYTZmOGQwOTQxZTA4NWI5Mg==
Host: api-XXXXXXXX.duosecurity.com
Content-Length: 35
Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded

Separate HTTP request header lines with CRLF newlines.

The following Python function can be used to construct the "Authorization" and "Date" headers:

import base64, email.utils, hmac, hashlib, urllib
  ​ ​
def sign(method, host, path, params, skey, ikey):
    """
    Return HTTP Basic Authentication ("Authorization" and "Date") headers.
    method, host, path: strings from request
    params: dict of request parameters
    skey: secret key
    ikey: integration key
    """
  ​
    # create canonical string
    now = email.utils.formatdate()
    canon = [now, method.upper(), host.lower(), path]
    args = []
    for key in sorted(params.keys()):
        val = params[key].encode("utf-8")
        args.append(
            '%s=%s' % (urllib.parse.
                       quote(key, '~'), urllib.parse.quote(val, '~')))
    canon.append('&'.join(args))
    canon = '\n'.join(canon)
  ​
    # sign canonical string
    sig = hmac.new(bytes(skey, encoding='utf-8'),
                   bytes(canon, encoding='utf-8'),
                   hashlib.sha1)
    auth = '%s:%s' % (ikey, sig.hexdigest())
  ​
    # return headers
    return {'Date': now, 'Authorization': 'Basic %s' % base64.b64encode(bytes(auth, encoding="utf-8")).decode()}
import base64, email, hmac, hashlib, urllib

def sign(method, host, path, params, skey, ikey):
    """
    Return HTTP Basic Authentication ("Authorization" and "Date") headers.
    method, host, path: strings from request
    params: dict of request parameters
    skey: secret key
    ikey: integration key
    """

    # create canonical string
    now = email.Utils.formatdate()
    canon = [now, method.upper(), host.lower(), path]
    args = []
    for key in sorted(params.keys()):
        val = params[key]
        if isinstance(val, unicode):
            val = val.encode("utf-8")
        args.append(
            '%s=%s' % (urllib.quote(key, '~'), urllib.quote(val, '~')))
    canon.append('&'.join(args))
    canon = '\n'.join(canon)

    # sign canonical string
    sig = hmac.new(skey, canon, hashlib.sha1)
    auth = '%s:%s' % (ikey, sig.hexdigest())

    # return headers
    return {'Date': now, 'Authorization': 'Basic %s' % base64.b64encode(auth)}

If you receive 401 error responses to your API requests, check the following:

  • Is the Authorization header correctly formatted? If not, you may receive a 40101 error.
  • Does your framework override the Date header? The HTTP Date: header must be exactly the same string as was signed. This could result in a 40103 error.
  • Are the Date and time zone used RFC 3339 compliant?? If not, you may get a 40104 or 40105 response.
  • Are the parameters lexicographically sorted?
  • Did you include a line for parameters when constructing the signature, even if you're not passing in any parameters?
  • Are any hex digits lower-case?
  • Are the Content-Length and Content-Type parameters correct? If not, your parameters may be ignored or you may receive a 40103 response because your signature considered parameters that the service didn't receive.

Example Request

Here’s a sample python script that uses the admin api client to call out to the new endpoint. Note that the “users” param is a JSON serialized string.

{
#!/usr/bin/python
from __future__ import absolute_import
from __future__ import print_function
import pprint
import sys
import json

import duo_client
from six.moves import input

# Configuration and information about objects to create.
admin_api = duo_client.Admin(
    ikey='DIWJ8X6AEYOR5OMC6TQ1',
    skey='Zh5eGmUq9zpfQnyUIu5OL9iWoMMv5ZNmk3zLJ4Ep',
    host='api-XXXXXXXX.duosecurity.com',
    ca_certs='DISABLE'
)

response = admin_api.json_api_call(
    'POST',
    '/admin/v1/users/bulk_create',
    {
        'users': json.dumps([
            {
                'username': 'example_username_1',
                'email': 'example_user_1@example.com'

Integrations

The Integrations v2 API does not use the same authentication and request signing detailed earlier in this document. Our Python, Go, Java, and Node.JS API clients have been updated with the new authentication and signing requirements and include support for the Integrations v2 API endpoints. We recommend you use the duo_client_python Python API client, the duo_api_golang Go API client, the duo_client_java Java API client, or the duo_api_nodejs Node.JS API client to interact with the Integrations v2 endpoints.

Retrieve Integrations

Returns a paged list of integrations. To fetch all results, call repeatedly with the offset parameter as long as the result metadata has a next_offset value. Requires "Grant read resource" API permission.

GET /admin/v2/integrations

Policies

The Policies v2 API does not use the same authentication and request signing detailed earlier in this document. Our Python, Go, Java, and Node.JS API clients have been updated with the new authentication and signing requirements and include support for the Policies v2 API endpoints. We recommend you use the duo_client_python Python API client, the duo_api_golang Go API client, the duo_client_java Java API client, or the duo_api_nodejs Node.JS API client to interact with the Policies endpoints.

Update Policy

For the policy with the specified policy_key, update policy data and add or change how the policy is applied. Requires "Grant write resource" API permission.

What happens if I...

  • Make the Update Policy call without one or more of the parameters describing what to modify: sections, sections_to_delete, apply_to_apps, or apply_to_groups_in_apps?

    • The API call makes the changes you specify in the input, but all the parameters are optional.
    • If you make the call with no changes in any of the parameters, the call returns the (unchanged) policy.
  • Add a policy section (such as authorized_networks) to a custom policy?

    • The API enables the section (that is, makes it active in the policy) and sets the valid values you specify. Any key/value pairs not specified for the section will be set to their default values.
    • If you add a blank policy section, it will be enabled for the policy with default values.
  • Modify values for an existing policy section?

    • The API changes only the values you specify.

Note: This API call uses the PUT request method. The data passed in must be represented as JSON and cannot be passed in via URL parameters. Some Duo clients (Python or Java, for example) offer helper functions to handle requests to the Admin API.

If an application in the list has another policy applied, that policy is kept and the unassign has no effect.

apply_to_groups_in_apps Optional

Information about which groups (within which applications) to which to apply the policy. See Applying Policy to Groups for more information on constructing a list of group policies to affect.

Key Value
apply_group_policies_list

A set of groups to apply this policy to in this app as described by app_integration_key and group_id_list.

group_policy_apply_order

Values are one of:

  • existing - (default) If the group policy being applied already exists for this application, keep its place in the stack. If it doesn’t exist, add it to the top of the stack.
  • top - Place this policy on the top of the group policy stack.
  • bottom - Place this policy on the bottom of the group policy stack.
replace_group_policies_list

A set of groups to apply this policy to in this app as described by app_integration_key and group_id_list. Any groups already specified will be replaced with this set.

If you specify a blank array ([]) as a value, all groups applied to this policy in this application will be replaced with nothing (that is, unassigned).

unassign_all Removes all group assignments for that policy. Either true or false. If true, apply_group_policies_list, replace_group_policies_list, and unassign_group_policies_list can not have entries.
unassign_group_policies_list

A set of groups to remove this policy from in this app as described by app_integration_key and group_id_list.

policy_name Optional

A new name for a custom policy. Policy names do not have to be unique.

The name parameter, available during the Policies API public preview, is no longer supported. Please use policy_name.

sections Optional

The list of policy sections to be added, with associated keys/values for each section. See Policy Section Data for all sections and their keys/values.

If sections is blank, the policy is unchanged.

sections_to_delete Optional

An array of section names to remove from this policy. Sections cannot be removed from the global policy.

Applying Policy to Groups

Because policy is applied to and unassigned from groups in the context of an application (integration), you will need to specify both an app_integration_key and an array of groups (group_id_list) when applying policy to groups.

Key Value
app_integration_key

The unique identifier for the application (same value as integration_key). See the response to Retrieve Integrations.

group_id_list

An array of unique group identifiers. See the response to Retrieve Groups to find group_id values.

Example Input

In this example, the "Update Policy" input will remove group policy assignments.

Modify Admin External Password Management Status or Password

Enable or disable an administrator, specified by admin_id, for external password management, or set the password for an administrator with has_external_password_mgmt set to true (either passed in with the same POST or previously set).

Administrator passwords must have at least twelve characters, and may also require a mix of character types depending on your Admin Password Policy settings. New passwords will be checked against common passwords, usernames, and other account information to ensure uniqueness.

Setting has_external_password_mgmt also updates the administrator account's password_change_required value. When has_external_password_mgmt is set to true, password_change_required is updated to false, as enabling external password management restricts administrators from performing self-service password resets via the Duo Admin Panel UI. When has_external_password_mgmt is set to false, password_change_required is updated to true to ensure that an administrator no longer subject to external password management updates their password to a new value not known by the external system.

POST /admin/v1/admins/[admin_id]/password_mgmt

Parameters

Parameter Required? Description
has_external_password_mgmt Optional Specify true if the administrator's password may be set via API, or false if passwords are self-managed. If specifying true you may also send a password value in the same operation.
password Optional New password for the administrator. May be sent in the same operation with has_external_password_mgmt=true

400 Password specified when external password management not enabled for the admin, or new password does not satisfy the password policy.
404 No administrator was found with the given admin_id.

Response Format

Key Value
admin_id The administrator's ID.
email The administrator's email address.
has_external_password_mgmt Returns true if the administrator's password may be set via API, or false if passwords are self-managed. If the setting was changed in the request then the new value is returned.
password_changed Returns true if the administrator's password was changed in the request, or false if the request did not attempt to change the password.

Example Response

{
    "stat": "OK",
    "response": {
            "admin_id": "DEORP00LUIXPGD4DCC37",

Logs

Authentication Logs

Returns a paged list of authentication log events ranging from the last 180 days up to as recently as two minutes before the API request. To fetch all results, call repeatedly with the next_offset paging parameter as long as the result metadata has next_offset values. Requires "Grant read log" API permission.

There is an intentional two minute delay in availability of new authentications in the API response. Duo operates a large scale distributed system, and this two minute buffer period ensures that calls will return consistent results. Querying for results more recent than two minutes will return as empty.

We recommend requesting logs no more than once per minute.

The v2 handler provides new filtering and querying capabilities unavailable in the legacy v1 handler. This includes the ability to filter on users, groups, applications, authentication results, factors, and time ranges.

GET or POST /admin/v2/logs/authentication

Parameters

Use the paging parameters to change the number of results shown in a response or to retrieve additional results. See Response Paging for details.

Authentication Logs (Legacy v1)

The v2 authentication logs endpoint provides new filtering and querying capabilities unavailable in the legacy v1 handler, like the ability to filter on users, groups, applications, authentication results, factors, and time ranges. Consider migrating to the new handler.

Returns a list of authentication log events ranging from the last 180 days up to as recently as two minutes before the API request. There is an intentional two minute delay in availability of new authentications in the API response. Duo operates a large scale distributed system, and this two minute buffer period ensures that calls will return consistent results. Querying for results more recent than two minutes will return as empty. Requires "Grant read log" API permission.

The 1000 earliest events will be returned; you may need to call this multiple times with mintime to page through the entire log. Note that more or fewer than 1000 events may be returned depending on how many actual events exist for the specified mintime.

We recommend requesting logs no more than once per minute.

GET /admin/v1/logs/authentication

Parameters

Parameter Required? Description
mintime Optional

Only return records that have a Unix timestamp in seconds of mintime or later. Use mintime+1 to avoid receiving duplicate data.

Activity Logs

This API endpoint is currently in Public Preview.

Returns a paged list of activity log events ranging from the last 180 days up to as recently as two minutes before the API request. The events returned are subject to log retention, if set up in the account, as described here. To fetch all results, call repeatedly with the next_offset paging parameter as long as the result metadata has next_offset values. Requires "Grant read log" API permission.

There is an intentional two-minute delay in the availability of new activity events in the API response. Duo operates a large-scale distributed system, and this two-minute buffer period ensures that calls will return consistent results. Querying for results more recent than two minutes will return as empty.

We recommend requesting logs no more than once per minute.

description

String detailing what changed, either as free-form text or serialized JSON.

When the description contains JSON it may be either a serialized object or a serialized array of objects. Each key in the object(s) corresponds to a property that was changed. This JSON is intended only to summarize the change, not to be de-serialized.

The first example below is for a "user_update" action. The object that changed was a user whose Duo username is "jsmith". The change saved new values for the user's "notes" and "realname" fields, overwriting the previous values if any were set. They correspond to the similarly named fields in the Modify User call in the Admin API and the User Details page in the Duo Admin Panel.

The second example shows an "admin_login_error" action. The administrator's login attempt failed because the admin attempted to use SSO but, as indicated by the "error" in the description, SAML login is disabled for administrators on that account.

isotimestamp

ISO8601 timestamp of the event.

object The object that was acted on. For example: "jsmith" (for users), "(555) 713-6275 x456" (for phones), or "HOTP 8-digit 123456" (for tokens).
timestamp An integer indicating the Unix timestamp of the event.
username The full name of the administrator who performed the action in the Duo Admin Panel. If the action was performed with the API this will be "API". Automatic actions like deletion of inactive users have "System" for the username. Changes synchronized from Directory Sync will have a username of the form (example) "AD Sync: name of directory."

Telephony Logs

This API endpoint is currently in Public Preview.

Returns a paged list of telephony log events ranging from the last 180 days up to as recently as two minutes before the API request. The events returned are subject to log retention, if set up in the account, as described here. To fetch all results, call repeatedly with the next_offset paging parameter as long as the result metadata has next_offset values. Requires "Grant read log" API permission.

There is an intentional two-minute delay in the availability of new telephony events in the API response. Duo operates a large-scale distributed system, and this two-minute buffer period ensures that calls will return consistent results. Querying for results more recent than two minutes will return as empty.

The v2 handler provides new querying capabilities and contextual information for events unavailable in the legacy v1 handler.

We recommend requesting logs no more than once per minute.

GET /admin/v2/logs/telephony

Parameters

Query Parameter Required? Allow Multiple? Description
mintime Required No

Return records that have a 13 character Unix timestamp in milliseconds of mintime or later. This value must be strictly less than maxtime.

Example: 1661022959934

maxtime Required No

Return records that have a 13 character Unix timestamp in milliseconds of maxtime or earlier. This value must be strictly greater than mintime.

Maximum: 180 days

Example: 1661022969934

limit Optional No

The maximum number of records returned.

Default: 100; Max: 1000

next_offset Optional Yes

The offset at which to start record retrieval. This value is provided in the metadata in the form of a 13 character date string in milliseconds and the event txid. Both of these values must be provided when used, separated by a comma.

When used with "limit", the handler will return "limit" records starting at the n-th record, where n is the offset.

Default: None

Example: next_offset=1547486297000,5bea1c1e-612c-4f1d-b310-75fd31385b15

sort Optional No

The order in which to return records. One of:

Value Description
ts:asc Return logs in chronological order.
ts:desc Return logs in reverse chronological order.

Default: ts:desc

Response Codes

Response Meaning
200 Success.
400 Invalid or missing parameters or mintime is after the maxtime.

Offline Enrollment Logs

Returns a list of Duo Authentication for Windows Logon offline enrollment events ranging from the last 180 days up to as recently as two minutes before the API request. There is an intentional two minute delay in availability of new authentications in the API response.
