Traditionally Veracode Dynamic Analysis has targeted applications with a Web user interface. But increasingly, web applications are composed of many small microservices, many of which have Representational State Transfer (REST) interfaces with which the UI layer communicates. With API scanning, you can now scan the APIs of your microservices earlier in the software development process, before they are integrated into a web application.

You can create an API specification scan in the Veracode Platform to perform a Dynamic Analysis of all endpoints in one or more API specifications.
