In the context of API security testing, what is the purpose of testing for rate limiting?

  • To encrypt sensitive data during transmission
  • To ensure the API can handle a large number of simultaneous requests
  • To optimize the API's response time
  • To prevent abuse or misuse of the API by limiting request rates
Testing for rate limiting in API security ensures that the API can handle a reasonable number of requests and prevents abuse or misuse by limiting the rate at which requests are processed, enhancing overall security.
