# CostGuard API V1
[CostGuard ](/user-guide/optimize/costguard.md)enables you to identify areas within your infrastructure that are ripe for cost optimization. Finout’s CostGuard API lets you retrieve all your [CostGuard Scans](/user-guide/optimize/costguard/finout-scans.md) and their relevant recommendations. This guide offers comprehensive information on interacting with the API endpoints to retrieve scan data, access recommendations, and manage resources.
## `GET``/Scans`
Retrieves all CostGuard scan options. For more information, see [CostGuard - Scans](/user-guide/optimize/costguard/finout-scans.md).
