# CrowdStrike credentials

You can use these credentials to authenticate when using the [HTTP Request node](/guides/automated-workflows/integrations/builtin/core-nodes/ts-wf-nodes-base.httprequest) to make a [Custom API call](#).

## Prerequisites

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

## Authentication methods

- OAuth2


## Related resources

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](#) to learn more.

## Using OAuth2

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**.


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/).
