## 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).

### Additional resources

* [Overview of asset discovery](/scan-fix-and-prevent/scan-with-snyk/snyk-api-web/discover-new-targets/overview-asset-discovery.md): Learn how asset discovery works and how to manage discovered assets.
* [Configure automatic asset archiving](/scan-fix-and-prevent/scan-with-snyk/snyk-api-web/discover-new-targets/configure-automatic-asset-archiving.md): Set up automatic archiving for assets no longer detected in scans.
* [Resynchronize with connected sources](/scan-fix-and-prevent/scan-with-snyk/snyk-api-web/discover-new-targets/resynchronize-connected-sources.md): Manually refresh your cloud provider integrations to get the latest data.

This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

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

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

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

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

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.
