In probely, a target defines the scope and the behavior of the scan of a Web Application, Website, or API.

Watch this video for an overall view of Targets.

Add a Target

In the Probebly app, add a target as follows:

  1. Go to the TARGETS tab and click on the ADD button.

  2. Fill out the Add target form:

    Fill out the following fields:

    1. Select whether you want to Scan occasionally with credits or Scan frequently without limits. Learn more about it in Unlimited Scans vs. Scans with Credits.

    2. Type in a meaningful Name for the target.

    3. Type in the URL of the web app or API.

    4. Optionally, you can add Labels to help you easily filter and identify the target when you have many targets.

    5. By default, the Web app option is selected. However, if the target is a standalone API without a supporting Web Application, select API and provide the API schema. Learn more about it in How to configure and scan an API.

  3. Click on ADD to create the new target.
    We will check the connectivity to your target. If your target is unreachable, we will allow you to bypass that warning and add the target regardless. However, bear in mind that we will need to be able to reach your target to scan it.

With your newly created target, learn what you can do with it in this article on targets from A to Z.
