Start with the API your code actually exposes
Practical API discovery and OpenAPI workflows for backend teams, AI-assisted developers, and security engineers.
AI wrote your backend. Do you know every API it created?
AI can add backend routes across files faster than you can inspect them. APIScout gives you a local, source-backed inventory before those changes ship.
Explore use caseGenerate OpenAPI from the code you already have.
APIScout discovers backend endpoints from source code and exports an OpenAPI YAML or JSON baseline without asking you to document every route by hand.
Explore use caseFind the APIs your documentation missed.
APIScout scans backend source to surface routes that are undocumented, scattered across modules, or no longer reflected in the API spec.
Explore use caseBuild an API inventory from source code.
See the routes your backend exposes, where they are defined, and how to turn that inventory into an OpenAPI baseline—all inside VS Code.
Explore use caseDocument legacy APIs without starting from scratch.
APIScout helps you turn a working but poorly documented backend into an API inventory and OpenAPI baseline grounded in the implementation.
Explore use caseTurn backend source into a security-testing baseline.
APIScout discovers the API surface from source and exports OpenAPI, so security testing can begin with the routes your application actually exposes.
Explore use caseUnderstand an API without tracing every router by hand.
When you inherit a backend project, APIScout gives you a fast, source-backed view of its routes, methods, and modules directly in VS Code.
Explore use caseReview your API surface before you deploy.
APIScout helps developers see the routes their backend changes expose, so endpoint review does not end with a diff or an outdated spec.
Explore use caseDiscover the internal APIs your services depend on.
APIScout creates a source-backed endpoint inventory for backend services that may never have public documentation but still need to be understood and tested.
Explore use caseMap your API before you migrate it.
Before a framework migration, refactor, or service split, APIScout helps you establish a source-backed view of the API contract you need to preserve.
Explore use caseStart with your own API
Import an API definition and review security findings in one developer-focused workflow.
