From here, you can map the APIs to run the tests.   This document provides detailed insights into API discovery and guides you through its configuration process.  Follow the steps outlined to streamline the API discovery process:  LogFew readers

• How to check the response of APIs during the configuration?

  While configuring your APIs for security testing, you have the option to check the response of the APIs. This allows you to make sure that all APIs are configured correctly and return the expected response before you start the test. To check the response, you can follow the below steps: Navigate to the Applications section and select the desired API In the Configuration view, switch to the API tab Click on Configure to access the API details In the API details section, click the SeFew readers

• What types of APIs are supported in Beagle Security?

  GraphQL and REST APIs are supported in Beagle Security. The major difference between GraphQL and REST APIs is that, in GraphQL, the configuration is set for the queries, and in REST API, the configuration is set for the APIs.   What is GraphQL API? GraphQL is simply a query language and a server-side runtime for APIs which provides the client application precise request data. It helps to make the APIs much-more developer friendly, faster, and flexible. What is a REST API? RepreFew readers

• What are the API specifications of GraphQL and REST APIs?

• Configuring your custom APIs for security testing

  Shared variables Shared Variables are reusable key-value pairs that can be defined once and used across multiple API configurations. They promote efficiency, consistency and reduce redundancy when setting up tests. What are shared variables? Shared variables allow you to store commonly used values  such as user IDs, tokens or  environment-specific parameters in one place and reference them throughout your API test configurations. For example, you can define a variable like: Variable NameFew readers
