FireTail defines an API as a collection of endpoints sharing a common location, typically exposed through infrastructure that provides a consistent entry point. This includes API gateways (AWS API Gateway, GCP API Gateway, Azure API Management), load balancers (AWS Application Load Balancer), and so on. FireTail also identifies APIs directly from code repositories and integrates with external tools such as Wiz for discovery.
All endpoints exposed through a shared location are grouped into a single API. Each distinct location is treated as a separate API, meaning shared endpoints can appear under multiple APIs when accessible from different entry points.
