# Panther

> Panther is a modern SIEM that transforms terabytes of raw logs per day into a structured security data lake to power real-time detection, swift incident response, and thorough investigations.

## Creating a Panther connection[​](#creating-a-panther-connection "Direct link to Creating a Panther connection")

## Using API Token[​](#using-api-token "Direct link to Using API Token")

To create the connection you need:

* An API Address
* An API Token

<Note>
  **The API address attribute specifies the base API URL of your Panther deployment type.**

  * For Cloud Connected and self-hosted deployments :

    `https://{YOUR_PANTHER_DOMAIN}/v1`

    **Note:** should end with **/v1**.

  * For SaaS deployments :

    `https://api.{YOUR_PANTHER_DOMAIN}.runpanther.net`

  **Important:** Ensure that the URL does not include any specific base paths (e.g., /public/graphql).

  For more information regarding the deployment types please refer to [Panther's documentation](https://docs.panther.com/system-configuration/panther-deployment-types).
