"The accompanying diagram is intended to help you quickly decide how to document an API, but particularly a REST API. The first split is just to make sure you are looking for the right kind of API.

Here is some more context to help you decide on an approach and get started."

#APIs act as digital portals that allow data to travel between applications. However, as sensitive data moves from one application to another, each API becomes a potential access point that threat actors can exploit.

Securing APIs is critical to any company's data protection program, and knowing the OWASP API security top 10 will help!

Generate Growing Images Using Gemini API, by @tanaikech@x.com (@googlecloudtech@x.com):

Learning to use #AI #APIs can be revolutionary for your life. Almost every day I use GPT-4o, GPT-4o mini, Grok 2, and Gemini 2.0. I give them long prompts with transcripts. I can get a response from all 4 models with APIs within 6 seconds whereas using websites may take at least 20X as long.

Model Context Protocol is bridging the gap between #AIAgents and #APIs, aiming to become the universal standard for AI-driven actions. Richard MacManus explores its impact with Speakeasy.

APIs often handle vast amounts of Personally Identifiable Information (#PII), which makes them prime targets for API data exfiltration. So, it's no surprise that #API-based attacks with the aim of stealing sensitive data have increased over time. Many orgs also lack visibility into which APIs are handling PII, which leaves them with massive #security blind spots.

What should orgs do about this? Let's take a closer look at:
The growing risks of PII exposure in API traffic
The methods attackers use to exfiltrate data
Capabilities to look for in a data exfiltration prevention solution
