If the answer is yes, then you’ve come to the right place. I have compiled a list of free resources about API Security.

Before we get started with the list, I want to give a brief explanation as to what APIs are. API stands for Application Programming Interface. An API is a mechanism that enables two different pieces of software to communicate together. An example of an API can be when you have the option to Login into a website using a different platform, such as Google, Twitter, Facebook, etc.
