Select a template to support your API's structure.

## Before you begin

These templates provide you with options that are based on API structures that are widely used by security tool vendors. When you select a template, you're choosing a configuration that aligns with industry-standard ways of
organizing and communicating with APIs. Selecting a common response format (JSON), HTTP methods (GET or POST), and well-known pagination strategies makes connecting with a wide variety of security tools easier.

You have the option to get guidance for selecting a template with a ServiceNow Otto for Unified Security Exposure Management skill for this step. See [Using generative AI skills](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/C3UyNwI8tNIr20OwbCnrcA "AI skills help vulnerability managers and analysts resolve remediation tasks within their flow of work by providing automated insights, recommendations, and data analysis.") for more information about the generative AI skill and [Creating an API connector with generative AI](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/Vl~1MdcnBb7cTQgdFb8t7g "Developers can use the SPC Setup Connector generative AI skill to help them quickly and automatically create an API connector that they can publish. Use the connector in the Security Posture Control workspace.") about using the skill in connector framework.
