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
- 1Open Tool
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.
- 2Open Tool
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.
- 3Open Tool
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.
- 4Open Tool
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.
- 5Open Tool
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.
