With millions of APIs powering modern apps, API


security is more critical than ever yet it’s one of the
most overlooked aspects of development.

Many developers build fast, ship faster… and forget


to secure their APIs properly.

That’s exactly why I’ve created a practical API


Security Handbook, a curated list of best practices,
tips, and actionable guidelines to help you protect
your APIs from common vulnerabilities and threats.

Authentication

Authentication verifies who is


accessing your API. It’s the first
step in ensuring that only valid
users can interact with your
system.

Using OAuth 2.0 or JWT (JSON Web Token)


to authenticate users before granting access
to endpoints like /user/profile.
