Falco Plugin API is one of 5 APIs that [Falco](https://apis.io/providers/falco/) publishes on the [APIs.io](https://apis.io/) network. Tagged areas include Developer Tools, Event Sources, and Plugin. The published artifact set on APIs.io includes API documentation, an API reference, and a GitHub repository.

The Falco Plugin API provides a C ABI interface for developing plugins that extend Falco with new event sources and field extractors. Plugins are shared libraries that implement the plugin API and can be loaded at runtime to add support for new data sources such as cloud audit logs, container activity, and custom event streams.
