Build an Invisible API Consumer Detector that discovers which applications, scripts, integrations, and external clients depend on an API—even when the original documentation is incomplete. Analyze gateway logs, access logs, API specifications, repository references, and request patterns. Group consumers by behavioral fingerprints, identify endpoints with undocumented usage, and map which clients may be affected by a proposed change. Generate a compatibility report and a staged deprecation plan with monitoring checkpoints. Allow users to compare historical usage windows and export evidence for engineering review. Distinguish observed consumers from inferred ones, protect sensitive request data, and never claim that an endpoint has no consumers merely because none were found in the available evidence.
