Here's how the target is defined

Simply put, a domain with all its site tree URLs is a target. Target can be the URL of a web application, IP, website, API etc.

If your website makes API calls to different domains (eg: api.example.com), you can add them as an extra host during setup without having to purchase another target for it, and all calls to api.examples.com from example.com will be scanned.

P.S. This is a compliance view for vulnerabilities reported by our automated scanner (& pentest too if your plan includes that) and shouldn’t be confused with the Pentest/VAPT required as a part of various compliances.
