API Security Guide

This guide provides best practices and tips for securing your APIs. Ensuring the security of your APIs is crucial to protect sensitive data and maintain the trust of your users.

Key Security Considerations

Authentication: Implement strong authentication mechanisms to ensure only authorized users can access your APIs.
Authorization: Use proper authorization checks to restrict access to specific resources based on user roles and permissions.
Encryption: Encrypt data in transit and at rest to protect it from unauthorized access.
Input Validation: Validate all input to prevent common attacks like SQL injection and cross-site scripting (XSS).
Rate Limiting: Implement rate limiting to protect your APIs from brute force attacks and denial-of-service (DoS) attacks.
