A curated awesome-list of API security tools and resources, emphasizing open-source projects. It covers API key discovery, fuzzing, scanning, firewalls, training labs, and deliberately vulnerable APIs.

Use cases

  • find open-source API security testing tools
  • learn API penetration testing
  • discover deliberately vulnerable APIs for practice
  • find API fuzzing wordlists and seclists
  • locate leaked API key validation tools
  • find API security training and labs
  • build an API security checklist

When to choose

  • you need a curated starting point for API security tooling
  • you are learning API pentesting or bug bounty hunting
  • you want open-source alternatives to commercial API security products

When to avoid

  • you need a runnable tool rather than a link collection
  • you need commercial or vendor-supported API security solutions
  • you need guaranteed up-to-date tool versions
