Tracebit

Tracebit is a security-canary (deception) platform backed by Accel. It deploys realistic decoy credentials, secrets, and identities — canaries — across AWS, Azure, Google Cloud, Okta, Kubernetes, CI/CD pipelines, and workstations, and raises high-fidelity alerts the moment an attacker touches one during lateral movement or credential access. The free Community Edition exposes a public REST API (OpenAPI 3.1) for issuing and confirming canary credentials and reading alerts and their logs, alongside an open-source CLI, a GitHub Action, and a provider-published Agent Skill.

Tracebit publishes 2 APIs on the APIs.io network: Alerts API and Canary Credentials API. Tagged areas include Company, Cloud Saas, Security, Deception, and Canary Tokens.

Tracebit’s developer surface includes documentation, API reference, getting-started guide, support, engineering blog, pricing, signup flow, and 22 more developer resources.
