Discover APIs

When a API discovery scan is performed on the web applications the potential API assets are discovered from the web applications in your subscription. 

The potential API assets discovered on the web applications are displayed in the Discovered APIs tab. The tab also displays the number of API endpoints for the discovered URLs.

You can update the status of the API assets and add the discovered APIs to the subscription. The APIs tab displayed these APIs with the prefix Discovered API. Once the potential APIs are available in the APIs tab, you can perform a vulnerability scan and compliance scan. For details, View Your APIs.
