Performing Security API Testing using Postman AI

Abstract

Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) are becoming more and more popular, thus it is imperative to make sure they are secure. Because APIs make an application’s data and functionality visible to outside parties, attackers may find them appealing. Automated and effective solutions are required since human error and time consumption are major drawbacks of traditional manual security testing techniques. This article investigates the application of Postman, a well-liked tool for developing and testing APIs, and its AI-powered functionalities for automated API security testing. It discusses typical security flaws in APIs, how to check for them with Postman, and the benefits and drawbacks of this method. The goal of the article is to give developers, testers, and security experts a thorough manual on how to use Postman AI for quick and easy API security testing.
