  description: '# Asset Graph API


    The Asset Graph API provides comprehensive visibility into your Internet-facing assets. Use this API to build and manage attack surfaces by creating asset graphs, configuring seeds and exclusions, running discovery executions, and retrieving discovered assets and risk metadata.


    ### Authentication


    All requests must include a valid Censys personal access token (PAT) in the `Authorization` header:


    ```

    Authorization: Bearer <your-api-token>

    ```


    An `X-Organization-ID` header must also be present on every request. This identifies the Censys organization that owns the resources being accessed.


    ```

    X-Organization-ID: <your-organization-id>

    ```


    ### Core Concepts


    - **Asset Graph**: The parent resource representing an attack surface. Each asset graph contains seeds, excluded assets, and executions.

    - **Seeds**: Persistent starting points used to discover additional assets. Supported types include IP addresses, domains, CIDRs, ASNs, certificates, and web properties.

    - **Excluded Assets**: Assets explicitly excluded from the graph. Excluded assets will not appear in execution results and will not be used to discover additional assets.

    - **Executions**: A discovery process that uses the graph''s configured seeds and excluded assets to generate a complete snapshot of the attack surface. Censys periodically runs executions in the background, or they can be triggered on-demand.

    - **Assets**: Internet-facing resources discovered during an execution, including hosts, domains, certificates, and web properties. Each asset includes discovery paths showing how it was found from your seeds.

    - **Risks**: Vulnerabilities, exposures, misconfigurations, and threats identified on discovered assets.


    ### Getting Started


    1. **Create an asset graph** to represent your attack surface.

    2. **Add seeds** — the known assets that Censys will use as starting points for discovery.

    3. **Optionally add excluded assets** to omit specific assets from results.

    4. **Create an execution** to trigger the discovery process, or wait for Censys to run one automatically.

    5. **List assets** from a completed execution to view your discovered attack surface.

    6. **Look up risk metadata** for any risk IDs found on your assets.
