Dislike

The main deficit of the service would be on architectures that centralize apis on one domain, and it requires to detect hundreds or thousand of api operations. It would take months to actually detect the endpoints, and on paths with dynamic parameters it would create false positives by detecting constantly used parameters as new endpoints.
