title: CyCognito API V1 Reference Assets API
description: 'The CyCognito API V1 is a REST API that allows you to post and get data from our main data entities—assets and issues. You can also manage the scope of your attack surface, attribute assets to organizations, and verify the identity of IP scans on your assets. Our legacy API (V0) documentation is available for download [here](https://platform.cycognito.com/CyCognito-API-V0-Reference.pdf). While V0 is still being supported, please note that this API is undergoing deprecation.
