API Security Testing Services India
APIs are the backbone of modern applications — and the #1 attack target. The OWASP API Security Top 10 covers vulnerabilities like broken authentication, excessive data exposure, and mass assignment that are rampant in Indian fintech, e-commerce, and SaaS applications. MDIT Services provides specialised API Security Testing services in India — going far beyond standard VAPT to probe every endpoint, authentication flow, and data handling logic in your API.
APIs We Test
- REST APIs — JSON/HTTP, OpenAPI/Swagger documented and undocumented endpoints
- GraphQL APIs — introspection abuse, batching attacks, nested query DoS
- SOAP & XML APIs — XXE injection, WSDL enumeration
- Mobile Backend APIs — iOS/Android app API interception and testing
- Third-Party Integrations — payment gateways, OAuth flows, webhook security

OWASP API Security Top 10 — What We Test
| Vulnerability | Risk | How We Test |
|---|---|---|
| API1 — Broken Object Level Authorization (BOLA) | Access other users data by manipulating IDs | IDOR testing across all endpoints |
| API2 — Broken Authentication | Bypass login, steal tokens | JWT analysis, OAuth flow testing, session management |
| API3 — Broken Object Property Level Authorization | Mass assignment, excessive data exposure | Response filtering analysis, write property testing |
| API4 — Unrestricted Resource Consumption | DoS via unlimited requests | Rate limiting, pagination, resource quota testing |
| API5 — Broken Function Level Authorization | Access admin endpoints | Horizontal/vertical privilege escalation testing |
| API6 — Unrestricted Access to Sensitive Business Flows | Abuse business logic via API | Business logic testing, workflow bypass |
| API7 — Server Side Request Forgery (SSRF) | Access internal resources | URL parameter manipulation, cloud metadata access |
| API8 — Security Misconfiguration | Verbose errors, missing headers | Header analysis, error handling, CORS policy review |
| API9 — Improper Inventory Management | Old/undocumented APIs exposed | API discovery, version enumeration, shadow API detection |
| API10 — Unsafe Consumption of APIs | Trusting third-party API data | Integration security review, input validation |
API Types We Test
- REST APIs — JSON/XML over HTTP, the most common API architecture
- GraphQL APIs — Query-based APIs with unique security challenges (introspection, nested query DoS, authorization bypass)
- SOAP APIs — XML-based enterprise APIs common in banking and legacy systems
- gRPC APIs — High-performance APIs used in microservices architectures
- WebSocket APIs — Real-time bidirectional communication testing
API Security Testing Process
- API Discovery (Day 1) — Enumerate all endpoints, review documentation (Swagger/OpenAPI), identify authentication mechanisms
- Authentication Testing (Day 2) — Token analysis, session management, OAuth flow testing, MFA bypass attempts
- Authorization Testing (Day 3-4) — BOLA/IDOR testing across all endpoints, privilege escalation, cross-tenant access
- Business Logic Testing (Day 5) — Workflow bypass, rate limiting, data validation, race conditions
- Injection & Input Testing (Day 6) — SQL injection, NoSQL injection, command injection, SSRF, XXE
- Reporting (Day 7) — Detailed findings with CVSS scoring, PoC screenshots, and remediation guidance

Frequently Asked Questions
What is API security testing?
API security testing evaluates REST, GraphQL, SOAP, and gRPC APIs for vulnerabilities including broken authentication, broken object-level authorization (BOLA), mass assignment, SSRF, injection attacks, and rate limiting bypass — following the OWASP API Security Top 10 methodology.
How much does API penetration testing cost in India?
API penetration testing cost in India ranges from Rs35,000 for a single API with limited endpoints to Rs1-2 lakh for complex APIs with multiple versions, authentication mechanisms, and business logic. MDIT provides fixed-price quotes after reviewing API documentation.
