  title: ARMO Platform Customer API (Kubescape) Access Keys Posture & Compliance API
  description: 'The ARMO Platform Customer API is the hosted REST API of ARMO Platform, the commercial multi-cluster, multi-cloud Kubernetes security SaaS built on the open-source Kubescape project (CNCF, Apache 2.0). It exposes the security posture, compliance, vulnerability, runtime threat detection, network policy, and registry/repository scanning data that Kubescape produces.

    The endpoint paths in this document are taken from the public ARMO Customer API reference (hub.armosec.io/reference/customer-api). Request and response schemas are honestly modeled by API Evangelist to represent typical payloads and are not copied verbatim from a published machine-readable spec; verify exact field names against the live reference before integrating.

    Note on the open-source tool: the core Kubescape CLI is not an HTTP API, and the in-cluster Operator components expose their own OpenAPI/Swagger UIs (/openapi/v2/swaggerui) only inside the cluster - not on this hosted host. This document covers the hosted ARMO Platform Customer API only.'
