Scope
Build an endpoint inventory from routes, docs, and observed traffic.
Review API authentication, object-level authorization, token handling, rate limits, validation, and response minimization.
Page intent
resourceA checklist for reviewing APIs as product surfaces, including auth, authorization, tokens, abuse controls, and response data.
Build an endpoint inventory from routes, docs, and observed traffic.
Prioritize endpoints that read, mutate, export, or bill sensitive data.
Run authorization, validation, rate-limit, and response-shape tests.
Record fixes, retests, and accepted exceptions.
The value of a guide is not the document itself; it is the scan scope, fix ownership, retest criteria, and evidence it helps the team produce.
A checklist for reviewing APIs as product surfaces, including auth, authorization, tokens, abuse controls, and response data.
Inventory endpoints by method, auth requirement, data class, and owner.
Test object-level authorization with cross-user and cross-tenant accounts.

Object IDs allowing access to another customer record.

Responses returning fields the UI does not display.
Missing rate limits turning costly endpoints into abuse targets.
Start with object-level authorization on endpoints that access customer, organization, billing, or admin data.
No. Review actual route behavior because undocumented endpoints and response fields often matter most.
Check whether limits protect authentication, expensive operations, exports, and write-heavy endpoints.
SafeVibe keeps endpoint scope, test outcomes, fix status, retest evidence, and accepted-risk notes.
Use API security checklist as the starting point, then turn the checklist into SafeVibe scan scope and remediation evidence.
