Why it matters
- Organisations rarely know the full API estate.
- APIs can exist outside gateways, documentation, ownership and normal testing.
- You cannot validate API abuse paths until the API surface is visible.
API Discovery
Discover internal, external, documented and undocumented APIs across gateways, specs, logs, repositories and exposed services.

Capability architecture
API Discovery: context, validation and evidence.
This capability contributes to the same platform outcome: understanding realistic attacker exposure and proving what matters.
ThreatCanary approach
- Identify APIs from external reconnaissance, traffic metadata, API gateways, OpenAPI specs and platform integrations.
- Classify REST, GraphQL and other API-like services where supported.
- Store endpoints, methods, evidence, confidence and relationships in the graph.
What it validates or reveals
- External APIs, internal APIs and undocumented endpoints.
- Exposed API documentation and gateway-discovered services.
- API surface that needs ownership, mapping or testing.
Evidence and outputs
- A clear explanation of the exposure, affected assets and likely attack path.
- Reproducible evidence suitable for analysts, developers and risk owners.
- Prioritisation based on exploitability, business impact, sensitive data and chainability.
- Owner, remediation and workflow context that can move into Jira, Slack, SIEM or reporting.
