Published on

API security best practices are a collection of knowledge based on securing real-world APIs. Learn how to implement error handling, audit logs, and identification of vulnerabilities for API. We discuss how to protect API security in transit using HTTPS, TLS, protection of sensitive information in requests, and security headers, and the need for a properly designed API that uses quotas, rate limiting, throttling, and filtering of requests.
