# Discover new targets

Organizations often lack visibility into all their assets (web applications and APIs), which can lead to overlooked vulnerabilities and inadvertent security exposure. With Snyk API & Web asset discovery, you can identify your organization's assets and protect them before they become a liability.

Asset discovery helps you:

* Identify all web applications and APIs in your attack surface.
* Monitor new assets automatically through cloud provider integrations.
* Prioritize security efforts based on risk levels and security scores.
* Convert discovered assets into scanning targets with a single click.

## Available asset discovery methods

Snyk API & Web offers multiple ways to discover assets:

* **Domain scanning**: Scan a specific domain to identify associated assets. Visit [Scan a domain for asset discovery](/scan-fix-and-prevent/scan-with-snyk/snyk-api-web/discover-new-targets/scan-domain-asset-discovery.md).
* **Cloudflare integration**: Connect to Cloudflare to automatically discover assets from your DNS zones. Visit [Scan a Cloudflare connection for asset discovery](/scan-fix-and-prevent/scan-with-snyk/snyk-api-web/discover-new-targets/scan-cloudflare-connection-asset-discovery.md).
* **AWS integration**: Connect to AWS Route 53 to discover assets from your hosted zones. Visit [Scan an AWS connection for asset discovery](/scan-fix-and-prevent/scan-with-snyk/snyk-api-web/discover-new-targets/scan-aws-connection-asset-discovery.md).
* **Akamai integration**: Connect to Akamai API Security to discover and import API schemas. Visit [Scan an Akamai connection for asset discovery](/scan-fix-and-prevent/scan-with-snyk/snyk-api-web/discover-new-targets/scan-akamai-connection-asset-discovery.md).

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.snyk.io/scan-fix-and-prevent/scan-with-snyk/snyk-api-web/discover-new-targets.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
