Regions

Global vs. regional APIs¶

Sophos Central is a large, distributed, global, multi-tenanted system that is deployed as multiple sets of services in multiple data centers around the world.

As Sophos Central supports a large and growing number of tenants, we also distribute our tenant-base across multiple "data regions". All data for a given tenant resides in a single data region, chosen when you sign up. Currently, we operate six such data regions and are adding more.

To access a tenant's data using an API, you need to know the API host for the tenant's data region.

There are different ways to find this information:

• As a partner, you can list the tenants you manage, call GET /partner/v1/tenants. The response lists the data region and API host for each tenant.
• As an organization, you can list the tenants that belong to you, call GET /organization/v1/tenants. The response lists the data region and API host for each tenant.
• As a tenant, you can call GET /whoami/v1 to find your own data region.

The APIs listed above are all "global" and available at the base URL: https://api.central.sophos.com.

All other APIs are "regional" and available at one of the following base URLs:
