Security for application programming interfaces (APIs) is the process of reducing attacks on APIs. As they serve as the foundation for the backend of both mobile and online applications. Therefore, it is essential to safeguard the private information that people and organisations transfer.
API security testing involves checking the endpoints of the API for security and dependability. This ensures that an application programme interface (API) complies with an organisation’s best practices.
API security testing checks off fundamental security criteria, such as those of user access, encryption, and authentication. The goal of API scanning is to provide inputs that would cause an API to exhibit errors and illogical behaviour, basically imitating the behaviours and attack methods of would-be hackers.

Contact Us NowWhat is API?
An API or Application Programme Interface, is a technique that permits communication between two software systems.
For instance, not all of the names of the streets, towns, cities, restaurants, movie theatres, and other landmarks are stored in your phone’s Google Maps programme. Instead, it establishes a connection to another Google server-based application that holds all of that data. An API is used to enable this connection.
API security has become more crucial, especially with the growth of IoT. Between users, APIs, and the programmes and systems they use, sensitive and important data is transmitted. An otherwise safe computer or network can be easily breached by hackers using an unsecured API. Man-in-the-middle (MITM), distributed denial-of-service (DDoS), injection, and broken access control attacks are all possible
How are APIs Abused?
The Application Programming Interface is secure by default. Difficulties arise as a result of the enormous volume of APIs deployed. Additionally, a lack of API development expertise and a failure to take into account web and cloud API security requirements may result in API vulnerabilities.
Here is a list of the top 10 API risks
Broken Object Level Authorisation
Broken Authentication
Broken Object Property Level Authorisation
Unrestricted Resource Consumption
Broken Function Level Authorisation
Unrestricted Access to Sensitive Business Flows
Server-Side Request Forgery
Security Misconfiguration
Improper Inventory Management
Unsafe Consumption of APIs

Bucket hoursWhen you buy bucket hours, you purchase a set number of hours upfront.
- Your purchased bucket hours remain valid for 6 months, during this time frame, you can utilize our services until your hours are exhausted or until the 6-month period expires.
- For example, if you invest in 40 bucket hours and use 10 hours within the first month, you will have a remaining 30 hours to utilize over the next 5 months.
- In this case, the developer will work for other projects simultaneously as you have opted for bucket hours and not dedicated hiring.
It's a convenient and efficient way to manage your developer needs on your schedule.

Dedicated/Regular HiringIn dedicated hiring, the number of hours are not fixed like the bucket hours but instead, you are reserving the developer exclusively for your project.
- The developer will work only on your project for a set amount of time.
- You can choose to hire the developer for a week or a month, depending on what your project needs.
- This means our developer will focus exclusively on meeting the needs of your project, without any distractions from other commitments.
Whether you need help for a short time or a longer period, our dedicated hiring option ensures your project gets the attention it deserves.
