Wallarm API Discovery

Wallarm API Discovery is an automated API inventory and schema management solution engineered to continuously discover, track, and catalog all public, internal, and partner APIs across modern multi-cloud and Kubernetes environments. Operating inline through lightweight traffic inspection nodes or out-of-band via traffic mirroring, it eliminates API blind spots and prevents shadow API sprawl without requiring manual developer documentation.

The solution analyzes live HTTP/HTTPS traffic to automatically reconstruct complete OpenAPI schemas for all active endpoints. Core technical capabilities include automated discovery of shadow, orphan, and zombie APIs, dynamic parameter schema mapping, sensitive data flow identification (detecting PII, credit card numbers, and secret tokens in API payloads), and continuous schema drift detection that alerts security teams when endpoints change unexpectedly. It provides a real-time, comprehensive inventory of all endpoints, methods, and payload structures across modern microservices estates.

Fast-growing technology firms, fintech platforms, and e-commerce companies deploy Wallarm API Discovery to establish continuous visibility across rapidly iterating engineering environments. It integrates natively with NGINX, Envoy, Kubernetes Ingress controllers, AWS API Gateway, and Apigee. Typical operational use cases include uncovering undocumented legacy API endpoints exposed to the internet, verifying that published APIs adhere to defined OpenAPI specifications, tracking sensitive data transmission across cloud boundaries, and providing accurate asset inventories for privacy audits and API risk management.
