Welcome to our API Security Documentation! Below you will find information on how to secure your API endpoints and protect your data.
Common Security Threats
Here are some common security threats that you should be aware of:
- Injection Attacks: These occur when malicious code is injected into your application, which can lead to unauthorized access or data breaches.
- Cross-Site Scripting (XSS): This type of attack allows attackers to inject malicious scripts into web pages viewed by other users.
- Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF): CSRF attacks trick users into submitting a malicious request without their knowledge.
Best Practices
To ensure the security of your API, follow these best practices:
- Use HTTPS: Always use HTTPS to encrypt data in transit and prevent man-in-the-middle attacks.
- Implement Authentication: Use strong authentication methods to ensure that only authorized users can access your API.
- Validate Input: Always validate user input to prevent injection attacks.
- Use API Keys: Assign unique API keys to different applications to track and control access.
