Abstract

The disclosed system and methods are used for collecting information of third-party applications. A search is performed for detecting uniform resource locator (URL) that is associated with a web page allowing to download at least one third-party application. The search is based on URL patterns that are previously and uniquely determined for each digital data source. An identifier, e.g., client ID, of a third-party application is extracted from each URL of a web page which allows to download a third-party application. Then, the system initiates a software as a service (SaaS) instance in a cloud-based computing environment. The system provides to the third-party application access credentials to access the SaaS instance and extract attributes and behavior data of the third-party application based on at least the actions performed by the third-party application in the SaaS instance.
