# API Discovery Dashboard

The API Discovery dashboard is a single-pane view of API usage as detected by the API Discovery engine. This view allows security by visibility. 

The detected schema is visible through additional views, by visiting **Policy->Assets** and visiting the Assets which use API discovery.

To reach the dashboard select **Monitor**, then **API Dashboard** in the main menu.

At the top of the dashboard you can filter all numbers and the APIs shown for a specific asset, endpoint combination and also if you wish to only see changed APIs.

Following is a description of the Dashboard sections:

| Section                                   | Description                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                |
| ----------------------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| General Statistics (Top of the Dashboard) | Statistics show the number of overall request for the time period, number of unique sources, number of blocked API requests and remind the user regarding Suggestions by the system to fine-tune the learning process.                                                                                     |
| Most Used APIs                            | Chart of the top APIs by request count.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                    |
| Least Used APIs/Not in Use                | Chart of the least used APIs by request count. This chart can also show unused APIs if they were previously detected by API discovery in an earlier timeframe, or if they appear in the schema used by the [Schema Validation](/additional-security-engines/api-protection/enforce-api-schema.md) feature. |
| Top Sensitive Data Type Detected          | <p>Chart of the top Sensitive Data Types detected by request count.<br>By clicking on a sensitive data type to drill to events, you will be able to also see the URIs used when sending this type. Example:<br><img src="/files/mgxiCctZ0lHLcNF0OXKS" alt=""></p>                                          |
| Discovery of API Changes                  | A time-based histogram chart of the dates in which a new API schema was detected, and the number of changes it detected. How many existing APIs changed and how many new APIs were detected.                                                                                                               |
| API Endpoints                             | <p>A table of all current detected APIs for the different assets, based on data from the last 7 days. <br>The table also shows which APIs were changed compared to the last detected schema.</p>                                                                                                           |
