Abstract: Techniques are provided for tracking application programming interface (API) requests in a cloud computing environment. For example, a method for tracking API requests is implemented by an API gateway. The API gateway receives an API request which comprises a given API endpoint to access a target service of a computing system. The API gateway determines if the received API request is valid. In response to determining that the received API request is valid, the API gateway accesses at least one API counter associated with the given API endpoint of the received API request, wherein the at least one API counter is configured to count a number of times that the given API endpoint is accessed. The API gateway increments a count of the at least one API counter by one, and the API gateway routes the API request to the target service for execution.

Abstract: Techniques are provided to implement application programming interface (API) security validation testing for system integration testing (SIT) in a continuous integration environment. For example, a SIT tool detects a change in master code associated with an application comprising a plurality of microservices and an API gateway to route client API requests to the microservices of the application. The SIT tool obtains a listing of API endpoints exposed by the microservices of the application. The SIT tool performs an automated API security test validation process to determine whether an API security test file has been created for each API endpoint in the listing of API endpoints. The SIT tool fails the API security test validation process in response to determining that an API security test file has not be created for one or more API endpoints in the listing of API endpoints.
