Executive Summary:
Management’s awareness of API authentication options, combined with IT professional and developer expertise, enhances your organization’s ability to make informed decisions about API security. This leads to improved protection for application communication and backend data. To achieve this stated goal, this paper provides a comprehensive overview of API Calls Authentication Methods. API AuthN is important for securing access to API communication, ensuring that only authorized users and calls can access API-protected resources.
Introduction:
In today’s interconnected digital landscape, Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) serve as vital conduits for seamless communication between software applications. API calls significance lie in their ability to streamline processes, enhance functionality, and facilitate diverse systems integration and communication for digital exchange of data. This interoperability is crucial for businesses, developers, and system integrators alike, because they must fall back on API calls for data exchange between discrete systems and applications, specifically communication between Client-2-Server (a.k.a. User-2-App) or Server-2-Server (a.k.a. App-2-App) scenarios.
