api-security

What problem does it solve?

This skill provides best practices for securing RESTful and GraphQL APIs, protecting your data and preventing unauthorized access. It automates the implementation of critical security controls like authentication, authorization, rate limiting, and input validation, reducing the risk of API-specific attacks.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Authentication & Authorization: Guides on implementing robust identity verification and access control for API endpoints.
• Rate Limiting: Teaches how to protect APIs from brute-force attacks and abuse by controlling request rates.
• Input Validation: Provides techniques for validating and sanitizing all API inputs to prevent injection attacks.
• Use Case: Secure a new REST API endpoint, automatically generating an OpenAPI security definition, a Python input validator, and a JavaScript rate limiter middleware.

Quick Start

Generate an OpenAPI security definition for a REST API, including JWT authentication and API key authorization.
