QQL Token Standardization - API Updates

Applicable for: 

We have implemented Qualys Query Language (QQL) token standardization across all API endpoints. As part of this enhancement, both common and TotalCloud-specific tokens have been updated to a new, consistent naming structure.

The new token format follows the syntax provider.entity.attribute.
For example, in the new token aws.account.status, aws is the provider, account is the entity, and status is the attribute.

Key API-Specific Updates

• Standardized Tokens in API Queries
  When passing QQL filters in API query parameters, you should now use the new standardized token names.

• Backward Compatibility
  Existing API integrations using older tokens will continue to work. However, it is strongly recommended to migrate to the new token structure to ensure long-term compatibility.

• Interoperability Across Applications
  Standardized tokens allow the same QQL query to be reused across different Qualys applications and APIs without modifying token names.

For the complete mapping of old tokens to new standardized tokens, refer to the TotalCloud online help.
