# What is API discovery?

API discovery is the process of identifying and cataloging the APIs available on a server or within an application.  

API Discovery helps create a comprehensive inventory of an organization’s internal and external API assets by identifying both existing and newly deployed APIs.  

It enables the development teams to identify, locate, manage, and monitor their organization’s APIs, including previously missed or unknown ones.
