API attack surface

More than REST URLs

Practice this only on a lab you own, or a program whose scope you have read.

An API exposes objects directly: the documented routes, the old versions still deployed, and what a mobile app calls.

Stay inside the written scope. The map is the list of routes, not a scan of someone else's network.
