ApyGuard is a developer-first API security testing platform that finds vulnerabilities and authorization flaws before they reach production. Unlike traffic-based tools that only see deployed APIs, ApyGuard discovers endpoints from source code, generates OpenAPI specs, and builds an API inventory — including shadow endpoints created by AI coding assistants.
Using behavioral analysis, ApyGuard detects broken authentication, BOLA/BFLA authorization flaws, business-logic failures, and injection issues that schema-validation scanners miss. It covers the OWASP API Top 10, ranks findings by exploitability, and includes remediation guidance. CI/CD security gates and integrations connect it to GitHub, GitLab, Jira, Slack, and Postman, while dashboards track risk trends and findings map to OWASP, GDPR, and PCI DSS to support compliance.
Built for startups and SMBs: transparent self-serve pricing, a no-card free trial, and a free VS Code extension (APIScout) that discovers endpoints locally.
