Socket
Socket is a developer-first supply-chain security platform that protects applications from malicious dependencies, vulnerable packages, license risk, and software-supply-chain attacks across npm, PyPI, Go, Maven, Cargo, NuGet, RubyGems, and other open-source ecosystems. Socket ships a hosted API, CLI, MCP server, Firewall package-installer proxy (sfw), GitHub App, IDE extensions, SDKs, and reusable integrations for Jira, Slack, GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket, Azure DevOps, and Microsoft Teams. The Socket API exposes 70+ alert categories — malware, typo- squats, install scripts, telemetry, native code, crypto wallets, suspicious network activity, license issues — plus full-scan reports with SBOM export (CycloneDX, SPDX, OpenVEX), diff scans for pull requests, a triage workflow, webhooks, and a real-time threat feed of newly discovered malicious packages.
Socket publishes 19 APIs on the APIs.io network, including alerts API, api-tokens API, audit-log API, and 16 more. Tagged areas include Supply Chain Security, Open Source Security, Software Composition Analysis, SCA, and Malware Detection.
The Socket catalog on APIs.io includes 1 JSON-LD context and 2 Spectral governance rulesets.
Socket’s developer surface includes authentication, changelog, CLI, developer portal, documentation, getting-started guide, signup flow, and 75 more developer resources.

Arazzo Workflows 14
Multi-step API workflows described with the Arazzo specification.
Socket Audit Organization Dependencies
Search the organization's in-use dependencies by PURL, then pull alert metadata for those same packages.
ARAZZOSocket Create and Report a Full Scan
Ensure a repository exists, create a full scan from manifest files, poll until it finishes, then export the alert CSV.
ARAZZOSocket Diff Two Full Scans by ID
List the two most recent full scans for a repository and create a diff scan comparing them, then poll the diff until ready.
ARAZZOSocket Diff a Repository Against Its HEAD Scan
Confirm a repository, create a diff scan against its current HEAD full scan, then poll the diff until cached results are ready.
ARAZZOSocket Fix Vulnerabilities in a Repository
Confirm a repository and its HEAD scan, then fetch the available fixes for its vulnerabilities.
ARAZZOSocket Investigate Alert Across Scans
Pick the latest alert, find the full scans it appears in, then read the metadata of one of those scans.
ARAZZOSocket Generate PDF Report for Latest Scan
Find the most recent full scan for a repository, confirm its metadata, then generate a PDF report.
ARAZZOSocket Package Issues and Available Fixes
Look up alert metadata for a batch of packages by PURL, then fetch available fixes for the discovered vulnerabilities.
ARAZZOSocket Poll Full Scan to Completion
Create a full scan and poll its metadata until the scan_state leaves the processing states.
ARAZZOSocket Provision and Verify a Webhook
Create an organization webhook for selected events, then read it back to confirm it was registered.
ARAZZOSocket Rescan and Report a Full Scan
Rescan an existing full scan to apply the latest policies, poll the new scan to completion, then export its alert CSV.
ARAZZOSocket Review and Update Org Security Policy
Read the organization's current security policy, then write back an updated default level and rule set.
ARAZZOSocket Start and Poll Historical Snapshot
Start an on-demand historical data snapshot job, then poll the snapshot list until the job's request id appears.
ARAZZOSocket Triage Latest Alerts
List the latest organization alerts and, when any are present, apply a triage state to one of them.
