Summary

We have covered a lot in this first chapter. APIs are the lifeblood of a modern application economy and, unfortunately, are a favorite target for attackers due to the high value of data that they convey. We now understand the core building blocks of APIs, how developers are vital in the journey to building secure APIs, and the various elements of a secure API initiative.

In the next chapter, we are going to explore in greater detail exactly how an API is constructed, how they work, and critically, how they are secured.
