API Spyder is a SaaS-based API discovery tool that offers organizations an attacker's perspective by identifying public-facing API hosts and endpoints associated with a specified domain. It operates externally, requiring no software installation or network changes, and helps organizations understand their external API exposure to better manage security risks.

Key Features

External API Discovery Identifies all public-facing API hosts and endpoints for a given domain.

• Crawls top-level domains to enumerate APIs exposed to the internet
• Provides visibility into external attack surfaces

No Deployment Required Operates as a cloud service with no need for on-premise installation.

• No software or agents to install
• No network or infrastructure changes required

Attack Surface Mapping Presents an attacker's view of exposed APIs.

• Helps organizations see what attackers can discover
• Identifies potential vulnerabilities and weak points

TLS Certificate Assessment Checks for weak TLS certificates on discovered API hosts.

• Highlights potential cryptographic weaknesses
• Supports compliance and best practices

Simple Operation Requires only the entry of a top-level domain to begin discovery.

• User-friendly interface
• Fast setup and results

Benefits

Comprehensive API Visibility Provides a clear inventory of public APIs to reduce security blind spots.

• Enables proactive risk management
• Supports compliance initiatives

Improved Security Posture Helps prevent data breaches by revealing unknown or unmanaged APIs.

• Identifies shadow APIs and potential vulnerabilities
• Reduces the risk of external attacks

Operational Efficiency Streamlines API discovery without disrupting existing infrastructure.

• No operational overhead for deployment
