Red Canary

Red Canary is a Managed Detection and Response (MDR) provider that monitors endpoint, identity, cloud, email and network telemetry on behalf of its customers, confirms threats with a 24x7 human and AI detection engineering team, and drives containment through automation playbooks and response actions across partner platforms such as Microsoft Defender, CrowdStrike Falcon, SentinelOne, Palo Alto Cortex, Carbon Black and Zscaler. The company also publishes widely used open-source security research including Atomic Red Team, Chain Reactor, Surveyor and the annual Threat Detection Report. Red Canary was acquired by Zscaler in 2025. It operates a tenant-scoped REST API (openapi/v3) over detections, threats, events, endpoints, endpoint users, identities, investigations and audit logs, authenticated with a per-user X-Api-Key token; the Swagger/OpenAPI reference for that API is served inside the customer portal and is not reachable without a tenant subdomain and login.

Red Canary publishes 1 API on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Company, Security, Cybersecurity, Managed Detection and Response, and Threat Detection.

Red Canary’s developer surface includes documentation, API reference, getting-started guide, support, engineering blog, changelog, authentication, and 26 more developer resources.

Create-or-Update Ergonomics could not be measured. We hold no machine-readable contract for this provider to read, so there is nothing to measure a write surface against. Excluded rather than scored zero: never-measured and measured-empty are different facts. Publishing an OpenAPI is what makes this facet — and several others — scorable at all.
Improve this rating by publishing the missing artifacts — every area above can be raised, and the full rubric is at apis.io/rating/. Every facet and dimension name above is a link: it opens that measurement's own page — what it means, the exact checks that feed it, how the whole catalog distributes on it, and the providers at the top of it. This rating is computed from github.com/api-evangelist/red-canary: open an issue to ask a question, or submit a pull request to add artifacts.

    parameters. Rate limited to roughly 20 requests per minute and 10 requests per second per IP address.
