Finite State

Finite State is a product security platform for connected-device and embedded software manufacturers. It performs binary and firmware composition analysis, source-code scanning and third-party scan ingestion, SBOM generation and lifecycle management (CycloneDX and SPDX), VEX, EPSS- and reachability-based vulnerability prioritization, license-policy enforcement, and evidence-backed compliance reporting for regimes such as the EU Cyber Resilience Act, FDA 524B, ISO 21434 and IEC 62443. Programmatic access is offered through a token-authenticated REST API on the platform host, a legacy GraphQL API with an official Python SDK, the fs-cli command-line tool, and CI/CD integrations for GitHub Actions, Jenkins and Azure DevOps. Finite State also publishes an anonymous, read-only A2A JSON-RPC content API described by an agent card at its canonical well-known path.

Finite State publishes 3 APIs on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Product Security, Software Supply Chain Security, SBOM, Firmware Analysis, and Vulnerability Management.

Finite State’s developer surface includes documentation, API reference, getting-started guide, support, engineering blog, pricing, signup flow, and 28 more developer resources.

  description: Token-authenticated REST API for the Finite State platform, served under /api/public/v0 on the platform host.
    Interactive Swagger documentation is published per organization at https://[org].finitestate.io/swagger and the underlying
    OpenAPI document is served at /api/docs/openapi.json. Both the spec and every operation sit behind an API token, so no
    machine-readable contract is retrievable anonymously.

  description: GraphQL API historically documented at https://platform.finitestate.io/api/v1/graphql and still the transport
    used by the official Python SDK, which authenticates via a client-credentials exchange at /api/v1/auth/token and passes
    an organization context on every request. An anonymous POST to the documented endpoint returned 404 on 2026-08-04, so
    the surface is recorded as legacy alongside the newer REST API.
