Systematically assesses REST, GraphQL, and gRPC API endpoints against the OWASP API Security Top 10 (2023) using Burp Suite and Postman for automated and manual testing. Use during authorized API penetration tests, before deploying new endpoints to production, or when validating API gateway controls and rate limiting.

# Testing API Security with OWASP Top 10
## When to Use
- During authorized API penetration testing engagements
- When assessing REST, GraphQL, or gRPC APIs for security vulnerabilities
- Before deploying new API endpoints to production environments
- When reviewing API security posture against the OWASP API Security Top 10 (2023)
- For validating API gateway security controls and rate limiting effectiveness
## Prerequisites
- **Authorization**: Written scope document covering all API endpoints to be tested
- **Burp Suite Professional**: For intercepting and modifying API requests
