Scanner

Scanner is a cloud-native security data platform that indexes security logs directly in Amazon S3 to deliver full-text search across petabytes, continuous streaming threat detection, and programmatic and agent-native access to security data — an alternative to traditional SIEMs and data lakes. Its REST API (v1) covers searchable indexes, detection rules, event sinks, lookup tables, ad hoc queries, and query-capacity info, and it ships a hosted Model Context Protocol (MCP) server plus a detection-rules-as-code CLI (scanner-cli). Authentication is a Scanner API key presented as an HTTP Bearer token; console SSO is brokered by Stytch (Okta, Google Workspace, Microsoft Entra, SCIM). SOC 2 Type II certified and GDPR compliant. Backed by CRV.

Scanner publishes 6 APIs on the APIs.io network, including Ad Hoc Queries API, Detection Rules API, Event Sinks API, and 3 more. Tagged areas include Company, Security, SIEM, Log Analytics, and Threat Detection.

The Scanner catalog on APIs.io includes 1 event-driven AsyncAPI specification.

Scanner’s developer surface includes documentation, API reference, getting-started guide, engineering blog, pricing, signup flow, changelog, and 23 more developer resources.

Create-or-Update Ergonomics applies to this provider. This API accepts writes, so it carries 10 points of the composite. It is scored from the published contracts themselves: whether a caller can create-or-update in one call, whether the write accepts a key the caller already holds, and whether the response says which branch ran. Without that, every write needs a search-and-branch in front of it, and the first time that check is skipped a duplicate record is created. Scored against the observed mean rather than raw — a provider at the catalog average is unchanged by this facet, not penalised by it.

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/scanner: open an issue to ask a question, or submit a pull request to add artifacts.
