    An API security tool to capture and analyze API traffic, test API endpoints, reconstruct Open API specification, and identify API security risks. 

    The fundamental first step to solving this problem is to create an API spec and use it to audit and document the APIs your apps use. Ideally, we would create an API spec simply by observing API traffic in real-world applications. In the past, there was no simple, scalable, and open-source tooling capable of doing this. Now, we have APIClarity—an open-source API traffic visibility tool for Kubernetes (K8s) clusters. It’s purpose-built to address the gap and enable API reconstruction through observation.

    Discontinued Deployment scripts & config for Sock Shop (by microservices-demo)

    1) Deploy the Sock Shop app in our K8s cluster. While we’ll use Sock Shop as our example application, you can deploy your own app to your cluster and still follow along. 2) Deploy APIClarity in our K8s cluster and configure monitoring 3) Observe API traffic on the APIClarity dashboard 4) Review and create an API specification and view the generated OpenAPI spec in Swagger format. 5) Identify deviations from an API spec along with usage of shadow and zombie APIs. 6) View and filter API events

  • InfluxDB
