# Apyguard

Canonical: https://www.softwareadvice.ie/software/563835/Apyguard

> ApyGuard is a developer-first API security testing platform that helps engineering and security teams find vulnerabilities and authorization flaws before they reach production. It is built for startups and small-to-mid-sized technology companies - typically SaaS, fintech, e-commerce, and healthcare teams that ship APIs every week but do not have a dedicated application security department.

The problem ApyGuard solves is visibility. Most teams do not have an accurate picture of the APIs their applications actually expose. OpenAPI files go stale, gateway configurations describe only what was deployed, and AI coding assistants like Copilot, Cursor, and Claude Code generate new endpoints faster than anyone can document them. Traditional scanners test what you tell them about; attackers test what is actually there.

ApyGuard starts where your API truly lives: the source code. The platform discovers endpoints directly from your codebase, generates OpenAPI documentation automatically, and builds a complete, continuously updated API inventory - including shadow endpoints that never made it into your specs. From there, it tests what matters most.

Key capabilities:

API discovery from source code and traffic, with automatic OpenAPI generation
Full OWASP API Security Top 10 test coverage
Authorization testing that detects BOLA, BFLA, and broken authentication — the flaws behind most real-world API breaches
Behavioral analysis and business-logic testing that goes beyond schema validation
Attack payloads tailored to each API's schema and role model, not generic fuzzing
Findings ranked by exploitability, each with clear remediation guidance developers can act on
CI/CD security gates for GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, CircleCI, and Azure DevOps
Integrations with GitHub, GitLab, Jira, Slack, and Postman
Dashboards for risk posture, vulnerability trends, and endpoint-level insight
Real-time traffic analysis and behavior profiling to surface anomalies
Findings mapped to OWASP, GDPR, and PCI DSS requirements to support compliance and audit reporting
On-premise deployment available for teams with data residency requirements

What makes ApyGuard different is its code-first architecture and its accessibility. Traffic-based API security platforms can only see APIs that are already deployed and receiving requests — they are blind to what ships next sprint. ApyGuard tests pre-production, so issues are fixed before exposure, not after. And unlike enterprise platforms that require sales calls and six-figure contracts, ApyGuard offers transparent self-serve pricing starting at $129 per month, with a seven-day free trial that requires no credit card and no conversation with sales.

Developers can start even earlier with APIScout, ApyGuard's free VS Code extension. APIScout discovers API endpoints from backend source code directly in the editor and helps generate OpenAPI specifications - entirely locally, so no code ever leaves the developer's machine. It is available on both the Visual Studio Marketplace and Open VSX for Cursor and Windsurf users.

Getting started takes minutes rather than weeks: sign up, connect your API, and run your first scan the same day. Documentation covers every workflow at docs.apyguard.com, and our team provides responsive email support on every plan, with dedicated support available on Enterprise. Whether you are preparing for your first enterprise customer's security questionnaire, replacing an expensive annual pentest with continuous testing, or simply trying to find out what your AI-assisted team shipped last month, ApyGuard gives you the inventory, the evidence, and the fixes.
