In this paper we have outlined security testing in context of REST APIs. REST and SOAP APIs are discussed along with other APIs. From the research we found that majority of the software applications these days follow web frameworks and microservice based architectures. Most of the latest applications use APIs to interact with other applications. So as part of this paper we have covered testing of RESTful APIs using Postman tool and swagger tool. We have briefly explained postman and swagger tools which are quite popular these days across the industry. We also focused on security testing aspect of Internet of things (IOT) because APIs are used in most of the IOT devices. As per gartner study more than 20 billion devices will go on internet by 2020. Main focus of this paper remains on security of software applications, API and Internet of Things (IOT).
