Semgrep

Semgrep is a fast, open-source static analysis engine and an associated AppSec Platform (Semgrep Code, Semgrep Supply Chain, and Semgrep Secrets) that finds bugs, security issues, and policy violations across source code, dependencies, and credentials. The open-source CLI runs pattern-based rules locally or in CI; the AppSec Platform layers a managed control plane on top with organization-wide policy, triage workflows, findings management, and an OpenAPI-described REST API for deployments, projects, findings, scans, secrets, and supply chain data. Editor, CI, and SCM integrations (VS Code, JetBrains, GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket, Azure DevOps) round out the developer surface.

Semgrep publishes 6 APIs on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Static Analysis, SAST, Application Security, Supply Chain, and Secrets Detection.

Semgrep’s developer surface includes CLI, authentication, pricing, getting-started guide, API reference, documentation, GitHub presence, and 29 more developer resources.

Regulatory Posture applies to this provider. Its tags matched the Horizontal (data, software, accessibility, platform) regime, so Regulatory Posture carries 15 points of the composite. If this regime is wrong for your business, say so on your provider repo — the applicability map is public and we will correct it.

Open Source Surface applies to this provider. This product is open source and we read its repository directly, so Open Source Surface carries 10 points of the composite. It is scored from what the repository actually publishes — a security policy, a contribution guide, a release history, a code of conduct — read live from the provider rather than inferred from our own catalog pointers. This facet adds; nothing was taken away to make room for it. An open-source project is not excused from the commercial facets, because exemption would strip it of the points it does earn. If we have the wrong repository, or this product is not open source, say so on your provider repo and we will drop the facet rather than have you publish against it.

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.

The six quality facets above are damped to 75 points between them, because both conditional facets apply and carry 25 points together. That is why each facet's contribution is shown against a damped maximum: raising a quality facet moves the composite by 75% of its nominal weight, not 100%. The full arithmetic is at apis.io/rating/.

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/semgrep: open an issue to ask a question, or submit a pull request to add artifacts. Submit an artifact on GitHub — free → Manage your own listing — the Influence plan, $499/mo →
