## What it is
A curated collection of mindmaps, tips, and resources for API security and API penetration testing, based on the OWASP API Top 10. It covers recon, attacking REST, SOAP, and GraphQL, and defense methods.

## Use cases
- learn api penetration testing
- find api security testing methodology
- api recon tools and techniques
- study owasp api top 10 attacks
- prepare for api bug bounty hunting
- learn how to attack graphql endpoints
- api security defense best practices

## When to choose
- you want a structured, visual methodology for API pentesting
- you are preparing for API-focused bug bounty work
- you need curated tool lists and attack mindmaps for REST, SOAP, and GraphQL

## When to avoid
- you need runnable security tooling rather than guides and mindmaps
- you want automated API vulnerability scanning
- you need formal training or certification material

## Facets
- artifact type: learning-resource
- maturity: active
- function: penetration-testing, security, vulnerability-scanning
- domain: security, penetration-testing, apis, tutorials
- platform: cross-platform
- tags: api-security, bug-bounty, mindmaps, owasp-api-top-10, infosec, recon, graphql-security
