Systems and methods for application programming interface analysis

A computerized method for analyzing and identifying applications using a crawler, the method comprising:

• receiving, by a server computing device, first data from an application registry and second data from an application image store corresponding to a plurality of applications;
• identifying, by the server computing device, a first set of candidate applications of the plurality of applications based on the first data;
• identifying, by the server computing device, a second set of candidate applications of the plurality of applications based on the second data;
• storing, by the server computing device, the first set of candidate applications and the second set of candidate applications in a database;
• generating, by the server computing device, for display on a user interface a first list of the first set of candidate applications and a second list of the second set of candidate applications;
• receiving, by the server computing device, third data from a user via the user interface;
• and
• identifying, by the server computing device, a third set of candidate applications of the plurality of applications based on the first data and the third data.
