What is an API?
An API (Application Programming Interface) is a set of rules and protocols that allows different software applications to communicate with each other. It acts as a bridge, enabling the exchange of data, features, and functionalities between applications. APIs operate through a request and response mechanism between a client and a server. The client sends a request to the server, which processes it and sends back a response. This interaction is facilitated by the API, which defines the methods and data formats for communication. APIs often handle and transfer sensitive information, including personal data, financial records, and proprietary business information. A 2024 report from CloudFlare estimated that APIs account for 83% of web traffic, so a compromised API could put vast amounts of sensitive data at risk. API Security provides vision into your API attack surface and the risk it represents; tests APIs for conformance to specification; protects APIs from attacks, business logic abuse and fraud.
