Rapid7 Apps API

An App owns Scan Configs, Schedules, Scans and Vulnerabilities; you must create an App in order to create any of these other resources. Consequently, if an App is deleted it will delete all of these owned resources. App URLs cannot currently be configured via the API, and as such, it is recommended not to use this feature for Apps which are to be primarily managed via the API.

Rapid7 Apps API is one of 50 APIs that Rapid7 publishes on the APIs.io network, described by a machine-readable OpenAPI specification.

Tagged areas include Apps. The published artifact set on APIs.io includes an OpenAPI specification.

This API exposes 11 operations across 6 paths, and defines 13 schemas. It is described by OpenAPI 3.1.0, at version v1.

Requests are made against a single base URL, https://[region].api.insight.rapid7.com/ias/v1.
