Customer records live in Salesforce, documents in Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace, conversations in Slack, code in GitHub, and every one of those has its own settings, its own users and its own list of third-party apps that were connected to it at some point by someone. The question a security or IT lead keeps getting asked is simple to say and hard to answer: are all of those configured safely, and who actually has access to what? [AppOmni](https://apis.io/providers/appomni/) answers that question, and it does it through an API, which is a way for one piece of software to ask another to do work, so your ticketing system, your compliance reports or an AI assistant can pull the answers and act on them without someone clicking through a dashboard. ## What AppOmni does [AppOmni](https://appomni.com/) describes itself as a SaaS and AI security platform. The industry term is SSPM, SaaS Security Posture Management, which means continuously checking how your cloud applications are configured against the way they should be configured, and flagging the gaps. AppOmni says it watches the posture, identities, third-party connections and data exposure of the applications that run an enterprise, including Salesforce, Microsoft 365, Google Workspace, Slack, ServiceNow, Okta, Workday, GitHub, Box and Zoom, plus custom applications you model yourself on its Developer Platform. The API is tenant-scoped, which means it is served from your own AppOmni subdomain rather than a shared public address. On APIs.io we break it into parts, including the [Policies API](https://apis.io/apis/appomni/appomni-policies-api/), the [Monitored Services API](https://apis.io/apis/appomni/appomni-monitored-services-api/), the [Identity and Access API](https://apis.io/apis/appomni/appomni-identity-api/), the [Insights API](https://apis.io/apis/appomni/appomni-insights-api/), the [Discovery API](https://apis.io/apis/appomni/appomni-discovery-api/), the [Audit Logs API](https://apis.io/apis/appomni/appomni-audit-logs-api/) and the [Agent Guard API](https://apis.io/apis/appomni/appomni-agentguard-api/), which AppOmni describes as runtime prompt security for AI agent traffic. ## What you can get done We map AppOmni's operations to three business capabilities. ### [Security Strategy & Governance Management](https://apis.io/capabilities/security-strategy-governance-management/) This is where the posture work happens: 22 operations for the policies that define what "configured safely" means, the scans that check your applications against them, and the issues those scans turn up. A policy here is a set of rules, often mapped to a compliance control, and a policy issue is a place where one of your applications breaks a rule. Pulling these through the API is how the findings end up in the tools your team already works in, instead of a separate console nobody checks. - `GET /api/v1/core/policy/` retrieves your posture policies. - `GET /api/v1/core/policy/{id}/` returns a single policy and its details. - `PATCH /api/v1/core/policy/{id}/` assigns tags to a policy so it targets the right set of applications. - `POST /api/v1/core/policy/{id}/scan/` starts a scan of a policy against your applications. - `GET /api/v1/core/policyassessment/check_status/` checks whether a scan has finished and returns its results. - `GET /api/v1/core/ruleevent/` lists the open policy issues waiting to be dealt with. ### [Identity & Access Management](https://apis.io/capabilities/identity-access-management/) The second question, who has access to what, lives here across 22 operations. The useful idea is the unified identity: AppOmni stitches together the separate accounts one person has across your monitored applications by matching on email, so you can see a single person rather than a dozen unrelated logins. That is what you want when someone leaves the company, changes roles, or turns up in an access review. - `GET /api/v1/core/unifiedidentity/annotated_list/` lists unified identities across your monitored applications. - `GET /api/v1/core/unifiedidentity/{identity_id}/` returns the details of one person's unified identity. - `GET /api/v1/core/user/` lists the users of your AppOmni platform itself. - `POST /api/v1/core/user/` adds a user to the platform. - `GET /api/v1/core/group/` lists the role-based access control roles, the named sets of permissions a user can be given. ### [Cybersecurity Management](https://apis.io/capabilities/cybersecurity-management/) Not every application you depend on is one AppOmni already knows. Its Developer Platform lets you describe a custom or in-house application so it can be monitored too, and these 24 operations manage the modeling data, meaning the settings, permissions and scopes that tell AppOmni what a safe configuration of that application looks like. - `GET /api/v1/custom/custommonitoredservicetype/{cmst_id}/settings/` lists all the modeling data for a custom application type. - `POST /api/v1/custom/custommonitoredservicetype/{cmst_id}/settings/` adds a single piece of modeling data. - `POST /api/v1/custom/custommonitoredservicetype/{cmst_id}/settings/bulk_create/` adds many at once. - `PUT /api/v1/custom/custommonitoredservicetype/{cmst_id}/settings/bulk_create/` replaces all of the modeling data in one call. - `PATCH /api/v1/custom/custommonitoredservicetype/{cmst_id}/settings/` updates existing modeling data. ## Getting started AppOmni is a commercial SaaS product and its API is hosted on your own tenant's subdomain, so you will need an AppOmni account before any of this is callable. I could not find a published self-serve signup or plan details, so expect to start with AppOmni directly. The [AppOmni API documentation](https://api.appomni.com/) is the reference for every operation above. On APIs.io you can browse the [AppOmni profile](https://apis.io/providers/appomni/), the [Policies API](https://apis.io/apis/appomni/appomni-policies-api/), the [Identity and Access API](https://apis.io/apis/appomni/appomni-identity-api/) and the [Monitored Services API](https://apis.io/apis/appomni/appomni-monitored-services-api/). If you already run AppOmni, start by having your ticketing system pull the open policy issues each morning, so the findings land where your team already works.
