# Manage Sources for API Discovery The sources management functionality empowers organizations to continuously update their API catalog by **integrating various sources**, ensuring an up-to-date and accurate security posture. Each API source is associated with a **specific application**, allowing for a tailored and focused approach to catalog management. API sources can include diverse options such as [**API documentation**](/documentation/applications-view/manage-sources-for-api-discovery/source-categories/api-documentation.md), [**API gateways**](/documentation/applications-view/manage-sources-for-api-discovery/source-categories/api-gateways.md), [**live traffic**](/documentation/applications-view/manage-sources-for-api-discovery/source-categories/live-traffic.md),[ ***code repositories***](/documentation/applications-view/manage-sources-for-api-discovery/source-categories/code-repository.md), or Pynt API security [**testing**](/documentation/applications-view/manage-sources-for-api-discovery/source-categories/testing-api-security-scans.md) sources (discovered automatically by executring a scan). The flexibility extends further, enabling users to assign **multiple sources** of the same type to a single application. For example, an organization can link Swagger as a documentation API source and AWS Gateway as a production source to the same application. This enhances adaptability in managing their API landscape and enables Pynt to identify API security posture gaps effectively. By leveraging 'Manage API Sources,' organizations can streamline the process of **cataloging APIs**, enhancing security, and ensuring that their API catalog remains dynamic and responsive to the evolving needs of their applications. For each application, you can add sources directly from to application view or from the individual application page. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question. Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter: ``` GET https://docs.pynt.io/documentation/applications-view/manage-sources-for-api-discovery.md?ask= ``` The question should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
