# Discovered APIs

API discovery is a process to discover APIs in your API environment. The discovery process involves all PingIntelligence components.

* **ASE** - A `root` API is defined in ASE for the discovery process to start. The `root` API access log data is sent to ABS AI engine for processing.

* **ABS AI engine** - The ASE access logs are processed to discover APIs in your environment.

* **Dashboard** - Displays, manages, and renders the discovered APIs. Dashboard allows you to edit the discovered APIs and publish them to ASE. To view the APIs discovered from your API ecosystem, navigate to **Discovered APIs** in the Dashboard as shown in the screenshot below.
