Secure your APIs against common vulnerabilities.
Implement robust security measures.
Authentication
✅ JWT tokens with short expiry
✅ OAuth 2.0 / OpenID Connect
✅ API keys for service-to-service
Authorization
// Check permissions
if (!user.hasPermission(‘read:data’)) {
return 403 Forbidden;
}
Rate Limiting
const rateLimit = require(‘express-rate-limit’);
app.use(rateLimit({
windowMs: 15 * 60 * 1000,
max: 100
}));
Input Validation
Use libraries like Joi or Zod for validation.
Conclusion
Security is critical for production APIs!
