Abstract
A security service of a computing resource service provider provides security scores for application program interfaces (APIs) and other security information to an API marketplace or other endpoints. The security score may be based at least in part on component information associated with computing resources implementing the API. The security service may obtain access to the computing resources and collect various components from the computing resources. The components may then be used to determine a security score of an API offered from consumption on the API marketplace. The security service may then publish the security score to the API marketplace or other endpoint.
