## What it is
A curated collection of 31 daily API security tips by Inon Shkedy, covering vulnerabilities like BOLA/IDOR, SSRF, mass assignment, and authentication flaws. It is a knowledge resource for penetration testers and bug bounty hunters rather than a tool.

## Use cases
- learn api security testing techniques
- prepare for api pentest engagements
- find bug bounty tips for apis
- understand bola and idor exploitation
- study common api vulnerabilities like ssrf and mass assignment
- train a security team on api threats

## When to choose
- you want a concise checklist of api attack techniques
- you are a pentester or bug bounty hunter targeting apis
- you need educational material on the OWASP API security top issues

## When to avoid
- you need an automated api scanning tool
- you want runnable code or a library
- you need in-depth step-by-step tutorials rather than short tips

## Facets
- artifact type: learning-resource
- maturity: maintenance
- function: security, penetration-testing
- domain: security, apis, penetration-testing, tutorials
- platform: cli
- tags: api-security, bug-bounty, pentesting, tips, awesome-list
