Implementation Details

LeanIX performs SaaS discovery from Netskope through its API, which allows organizations to monitor and analyze user activity within cloud applications based on traffic and logs. The API filters out events that lack an associated application value, ensuring the data's relevance and integrity. Application events are specifically triggered by user actions within the SaaS applications, offering insights into how users interact with these services.

To efficiently use the API and avoid disruptions, we adhere to the rate limits detailed in the API documentation. For more information, see Netskope API V2 Data Export Rate Limits. For more detailed rate limit information, including global limits, you can access the settings section of the Netskope API portal.
