Secure a New API Endpoint

Problem this workflow solves

You have built a new API endpoint and need to verify it handles authentication correctly, does not leak sensitive data, enforces rate limits, and is properly documented before going live.

Steps

  1. 1

    Scan request and response payloads for sensitive data

    Paste your sample request and response JSON. The analyzer flags passwords, tokens, PII, and financial data so you can decide what to remove or redact before the endpoint goes live.

  2. 2

    Validate your JWT token configuration

    Decode the JWT your endpoint issues or accepts. Verify the algorithm, issuer, audience, and expiry match your security policy — and that no sensitive data is embedded in the payload.

  3. 3

    Verify webhook signature setup

    If your endpoint sends or receives webhook events, confirm the HMAC signature scheme is correctly implemented. Test your secret and payload to ensure signatures match.

  4. 4

    Calculate and document rate limits

    Enter your API quota and time window to get the exact rate limit values to configure. Use the results to set your throttling headers and inform API consumers upfront.

    Open Tool
  5. 5

    Generate the API endpoint documentation

    Paste your endpoint details to produce ready-to-share documentation including request format, response schema, authentication notes, and example cURL commands.

What you achieve

Your API endpoint is audited for PII and credential exposure, has verified authentication, enforces documented rate limits, and is ready to share with internal or external consumers.
