Description
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Hoping to reliably flag “this repo exposes an API.”
Describe the solution you'd like
I'd like a ruleset that will flag when App Inspector is confident that the software it scanned has detected an API. Perhaps there's a ruleset that detects strings like these:
@app.route
@app.get
FastAPI()
express()
app.get(
app.post(
@RestController
@RequestMapping
[ApiController]
MapGet(
MapPost(
swagger.json
openapi.yaml
Describe alternatives you've considered
Well I think @gfs and I talked about this a little in this issue.
