API Testing & Security
You have just wired up an endpoint that expects a JWT in the Authorization header, and now comes the part nobody enjoys: proving it actually works. Not “it should work based on the code,” but watching a real request go out with a real token attached, and a real 200…

You’ve built something, or you’re working with something someone else built, and now you need to know if it actually works the way it should. If that something is a REST API, you’re in the right place. REST APIs are everywhere. They power the apps on your phone, the dashboards…
Rust was named the most admired programming language, with over 72% of developers who use it saying they want to continue working with it. At the same time, GraphQL continues to reshape how APIs are designed by giving clients more control over data fetching. When these two technologies come together,…
According to a 2023 Salt Security report, API attacks grew by 400% in the preceding 12 months, and a significant chunk of those vulnerabilities trace back not to the production environment but to the development and testing phase, where security habits tend to be looser. Managing security during API testing…
APIs power almost everything we use online today. From mobile apps to enterprise dashboards, seamless communication between services depends on reliable endpoints. But even well-designed APIs break, return unexpected responses, or fail under real-world conditions. That’s where strong REST API debugging skills become essential. Recent reports show that developers spend…
