# HTTP

HTTP integrations enable you to automatically import assets from files hosted online. With HTTP integrations, you can dynamically generate a file to integrate any existing service with Halo Security and ensure an accurate and up-to-date asset inventory.

### Preparing an HTTP file

Start by hosting an HTTP file on the internet.

* The content type should be `text/plain`.
* The file should list IPs and/or hostnames, with each entry on a separate line.

An example file would look like this:

```
www.example.com
www2.example.com
111.111.111.111
```

### Add an HTTP integration

1. Visit your *Settings → Integrations →* [Add](https://app.halosecurity.com/user/settings/integrations/add).
2. Add the HTTP integration.
3. Add a name for your integration.
4. Configure the settings.

### Settings

* **Name:** An internal name for this integration. You can use multiple HTTP integrations for different URLs.
* **Auto Run:** Determines the frequency of adding assets from the file to your asset list.
* **URL:** The location of the file.
  * *Example:* `https://www.example.com/assets-list.txt`
* **Headers:** Optional HTTP headers for authentication or tracking.
* **Username / Password:** Optional basic HTTP authentication credentials for accessing the URL.
* **Ignored Assets:** Optional list of assets to ignore when parsing the file.
