# Top APIs

The **Top APIs** chart shows the distribution ratios of top application programming interface (API) *(tooltip: \<div class="paragraph">
\<p>A specification of interactions available for building software to access an application or service.\</p>
\</div>)* request counts and indicators of attack (IoA) for the specified period.

To view the **Top APIs** chart details and drill-down information, click **Dashboard → Top APIs**.

## Graph filters

The **Trained** graph filters are available. Select or clear the check boxes to include or exclude **Trained** or **Not Trained** APIs, for the specified selection.

## Top APIs table

The filtered graph results are displayed in a table below the graph, for further drill-down, inspection and analysis.

| Trained       | Indicates whether the AI engine is trained (Yes) or not trained (No) on the API.&#xA;&#xA;An API must be trained before it can detect IoAs.                                                                                                      |

| API Base Path | The Uniform Resource Identifier (URI) *(tooltip: \<div class="paragraph">&#xA;\<p>Identifies a web resource with a string of characters conforming to a specified format.\</p>&#xA;\</div>)* prefix for the API path, relative to the host root. |
| Requests      | Accumulated count of requests to the API for the reported period.                                                                                                                                                                                |

## Sorting and filtering

Click on a table column heading to sort the table according to that column. Click on the column heading again to display a reverse sort according to that column.

Click **Filters ^** to select filtering based on search strings or partial strings of the **API Name** or **API Base Path**. Enter the search string in the **Search from table** field. The search displays the matching rows in the table.

|   | * The search is case-insensitive.

* Wildcard searches, for example using an asterisk (`\*`), are not supported.

* Use of quotation marks is not supported.

* Be aware of the use of spaces in a search string. A leading or trailing space can filter out results. A single space is not regarded as multiple consecutive spaces.

* The graph filters are applied before the table filter. Use of the table filter produces a subset of the graph filter. For example, in the graph filter select **Not Trained**. The graph and the table show not trained data only. The table's **Trained** column only has rows with the value `No`. |

Select **API Base Path**in the table filter, and enter `/acc`. The table is reduced further, displaying only the rows where the **API Base Path** column contains the string `/acc`.

## API drill-down

In the Top APIs table, click on an API in the **API Name** column, to display the [API activity](pingintelligence_dashboard_api_activity.html) dashboard with further details about that API's activity in the reported period.
