A Detailed Guide to the OWASP Top 10 - API Endpoints

The video tutorial explains API endpoints, which are specific URLs where APIs can be accessed by applications. It describes how endpoints represent resources in an API's data model and are used for operations like retrieving, sending, updating, or deleting data. The tutorial uses a movie database example to illustrate different HTTP methods (GET, POST, PUT, DELETE) associated with endpoints. It also covers how client applications interact with APIs by sending HTTP requests to endpoints. Finally, the video introduces the topic of API security vulnerabilities for the years 2023 to 2027.
