Developer Docs & API Finder

Given a domain, discover its likely developer portal, API documentation, OpenAPI/Swagger specification, SDK documentation, GitHub presence, status page, and other reference docs.

What it finds

• Developer portal / documentation site
• OpenAPI/Swagger API descriptions
• SDK documentation
• GitHub organization or repository presence
• Status pages and reference documentation

Each discovered result includes a type label, its URL, and a confidence score. The Actor performs a live discovery scan through Sentinel Verify — it never requires the domain to already be registered anywhere.

Pricing

This is a paid, pay-per-event Actor: $0.08 per completed scan.

Exactly one docs-finder-scan event is charged per run, only after a real result exists (success or a useful partial). There is no charge for invalid input, a target blocked by the public-network policy, or a run that fails before a result is produced.

Input

• domain (required): a public domain or HTTPS origin to search, e.g. example.com.

Example input:

{
  "domain": "example.com"
}

Output

The default dataset receives one result envelope per domain; RUN_SUMMARY in the default key-value store records processing, delivery, billing, and dependency totals.

Representative abbreviated output:

{
  "status": "success",
  "target": {"identifier": "example.com"},
  "result": {
    "domain": "example.com",
    "documentationFound": true,
    "results": [
      {"type": "developer_docs", "url": "https://docs.example.com", "confidence": 0.96},
      {"type": "openapi", "url": "https://api.example.com/openapi.json", "confidence": 0.88}
    ]
  }
}

restricted means API-IFY rejected the target locally before calling Verify. unreachable means the domain could not be reached. dependency_unavailable means Verify was temporarily unavailable.

How it works

This Actor is a thin wrapper around Sentinel Verify's POST /v1/utilities/detect-docs endpoint. Each domain is checked locally against API-IFY's public-network policy before being sent to Verify.

Limitations

• Public HTTPS domains only; private, loopback, link-local, metadata, reserved, and CGNAT targets are rejected.
• This reports discovered documentation surfaces and a confidence score, not a guarantee any given link is current or complete.
• Scan availability depends on Sentinel Verify.

Privacy and security

The target domain is sent to Sentinel's live Utility API (/v1/utilities/detect-docs) for analysis after local public-network validation. Results are stored in the customer's Apify run dataset and summary store. VERIFY_API_KEY is an operator-managed Actor secret — a scoped utilities:read Intelligence API key sent as a bearer token on every request, the same credential mechanism used by any other Utility API consumer; VERIFY_BASE_URL is an operator setting, not an Actor input.
