# Pentest API Deep

## Purpose
Perform dedicated API-specific vulnerability testing beyond basic BOLA/GraphQL coverage. Addresses Broken Function Level Authorization (BFLA), mass assignment, rate limiting, excessive data exposure, and unsafe consumption per OWASP API Security Top 10 (2023).

## Prerequisites

### Authorization Requirements
- **Written authorization** with API testing scope explicitly included
- **API documentation** (OpenAPI/Swagger specs, GraphQL schema) if available
- **Test accounts** at multiple privilege levels (user, admin, service account)
- **Rate limit awareness** — confirm acceptable request volume with target owner

### Environment Setup
