 Shadow API

Shadow API

Shadow APIs are defined with respect to the My APIs.

For an API that is being inspected, we consider two entities. Its API Host and API basePath.

When the API Host and API basePath match those provided within My APIs and if:

  • Any new Path is identified in traffic, it is defined as a Shadow API
  • Any new Method is identified for an existing Path, it is defined as a Shadow API
  • Any new Parameter (either in request or response) is identified for an existing Path and Method, it is defined as a Shadow API
  • Any missing required Parameter is identified for an existing Path and Method, it is defined as a Shadow API
  • Any different data type is identified for an existing Parameter of an existing Path and Method, it is defined as a Shadow API
