TL;DR: API security best practices include authentication, encryption, input validation, rate limiting, and secure key management to control access and safeguard data. They also mi...
Why source validation gives a false sense of security, and what actually protects your APIs.
Most API security programs were built for predictable consumers: mobile apps, backend services, partner integrations, and the occasional script. Each of those calls your APIs in fa...
How to keep APIs secure, consistent, compliant, and manageable as your organization grows. I've noticed something about API projects as they grow. The APIs themselves usually aren'...
HTTP methods in REST API design are more than technical details; they communicate intent between clients and servers. A GET request instructs the server to retrieve a resource. A P...
REST serves the developers building against your API. MCP serves the agents now trying to use it. Most teams treat these as competing standards and have to pick one. They’re not r...
HMAC-Signed Webhooks: Securing Your Event Stream Webhooks are powerful—they let external systems react to your events in real time. But there's a catch: how do you know the web...
Generating an API Gateway From OpenAPI Specs Five Key Takeaways When your OpenAPI specification becomes the single source of truth, the gap between your API contract and your gat...
A crypto wallet API can move real money in milliseconds. That speed is the whole point, and it's also the reason attackers pay so much attention to these endpoints. When you connec...

The governance layer is well-built. The detection layer is well-funded. The design layer is the upstream question neither answers — and it is complementary to both....
Today, applications are built around identity systems. All API gateways, microservices, mobile backends, and single sign-on flows require some form of authentication and authorizat...
There's no shortage of options for building an API in 2026 — Node, Go, FastAPI, Kotlin, Rust, all legitimate, all with passionate fans. And yet when an enterprise team plans a ne...
Treat every model change as a data migration: keep one application credential and one chat-completions-shaped boundary if that simplifies the Node.js service, but never let a routi...
If you've spent time in enterprise integration, you know the pattern: your platform needs to talk to dozens (sometimes hundreds) of external partner systems, and none of them agree...
Modern applications rarely operate in isolation. Whether we are building a web app, mobile backend, or microservices architecture, our system often needs to access user data stored...
I was showing off a support assistant I'd wired up over the Model Context Protocol. Small thing: it could search our docs and open a doc by name. A teammate, being a teammate, past...
Cisco DevNet applies API engineering practices, such as versioning, linting, changelogs, documentation, to MCP servers with a new format: MCP Description.
