It is imperative that any SBOM standard that comes to light MUST include the ability to identify these external web API dependencies so that a software consumer will have the insights and visibility needed to perform an effective and comprehensive software supply chain risk assessment, like the seven step process implemented in SAG-PM, which has been presented as an Energy Central PowerSession, available on demand here
