Detectify helps 10,000+ users manage their attack surfaces
Web API Security Scanning
Detectify automates API security, eliminating the noise and manual work that consumes your day. Made for in-depth testing and accurate findings, including OWASP API Top 10.
Dynamic on a new level
Instead of a fixed set of conditions for scans, our engine uses machine learning to rotate payloads with every scan. Giving you a more accurate, ongoing assessment even against more static targets.
Unified API visibility
Get a unified inventory with the context to prioritize scanning across your entire API attack surface, not just the parts you already know about.
Fast testing on a massive scale
We built out testing for scale. For prompt injection, we can generate a staggering number of payload permutations, exceeding 922 quintillion in theory. For command injections, we leverage a comprehensive library of over 330k payloads.
Proprietary, research-led testing
Our proprietary scanning engines deliver high-accuracy, actionable findings. The focus is on exploitability, reducing the time you waste on triaging false positives from outdated checks.
Dynamic API scanning at scale. Without the noise.
Securing Application Programming Interfaces can be anything but straightforward. For security to be effective, it also needs to be manageable. That is why Detectify's API Scanner is easy to set up. Gives actionable findings. Without skimping on quality. Below are the types of vulnerabilities the Detectify API scanner test for.
Certificate issues
Path traversal
Code injection (RCE)
Prompt injection
Command Injections
Remote File Inclusion (RFI)
CRLF injection
Server-side Includes (SSI)
Cross-Site Scripting (XSS)
Server Side Request Forgery (SSRF)
Detailed Error Messages
Server Side Template Injection (SSTI)
Edge-side Includes (ESI)
SQL injections (SQLI)
JSON injection
SSL/TLS issues
LDAP injection
XML External Entities (XXE)

Test what matters with research-led coverage
Confidently fulfill compliance mandates for PCI, SOC 2, and more. Our research-led scanner goes deep, with over 900 unique tests covering critical OWASP API Top 10 categories like Broken Authentication (API2) and Security Misconfiguration (API8), plus a huge range of injections (SQL, NoSQL, Command, XSS) and other common vulnerabilities. Because our internal research team powers the engine, you get high-fidelity, exploitable findings, not a flood of false positives. Spend your time fixing real risks, not triaging noise.
How does the scanner work?
Our API assessments are never static; for each scan, we dynamically rotate a unique subset of payloads drawn from a massive, proprietary library. When a specific payload identifies a vulnerability, we prioritize it in that API's future test cycles. This ensures we continuously validate the finding and that regressions are not missed by newer, unproven payloads.
How fast is the Detectify API scanner?
API scan completion times average 15 - 20 minutes, influenced by API size and execution rate. These scans are significantly faster than most DAST scanning due to a more focused scope that does not require crawling. Instead, we randomize payloads so that every time we test your APIs for the same vulnerabilities, we’re trying different ways to find those vulnerabilities in your APIs.
