What to expect from an ideal product

  1. Takes any API running locally or remotely and instantly wraps it with authentication tokens and API keys without writing a single line of security code
  2. Automatically applies rate limiting rules to prevent abuse and control traffic flow to your API endpoints without setting up servers or load balancers
  3. Provides ready-to-use TLS encryption for all API calls so your data stays protected in transit without certificate management headaches
  4. Gives you a secure public URL for your API in seconds, even if it's running on your laptop, so you can share it safely with clients or teams
  5. Tracks all API requests with built-in logging and monitoring so you can see who's accessing what without deploying analytics tools
