API security is one of the most critical aspects of backend development. Authentication & Authorization: - Use JWT tokens, but configure them properly - Implement OAuth 2.0 for third-party integrations - Apply RBAC (Role-Based Access Control) Input Validation: - Validate all inputs server-side - Protect against SQL Injection — parameterized queries - Protect against XSS — output encoding Rate Limiting: - Protect against brute force attacks - IP-based and user-based limits - Distributed rate limiting with Redis HTTPS & Headers: - Route all traffic through HTTPS - Configure CORS properly - Security headers: CSP, HSTS, X-Frame-Options Logging & Monitoring: - Log all API calls - Detect anomalous behavior - Set up real-time alerts.
