Checklist of the most important security countermeasures when designing, testing, and releasing your API
First read
shieldfy/API-Security-Checklist is better read as a directional signal than a clean recommendation. Keep the snapshot conservative and validate source activity, package reality, and close alternatives before committing to it.
23.3K public stars in the current GitStar snapshot.
Recognizable in the ecosystem
Last commit Jul 21, 2026.
Stale activity
Treat stars as discovery context until a linked package appears.
No linked package mapping
One or more key signals are partial, so GitStar keeps the interpretation conservative.

Snapshot facts
Compare lens
FallibleInc/security-guide-for-developers and The-Vibe-Company/quivr are the closest comparison targets GitStar found. A side-by-side comparison usually tells you more than a single raw rank.
Signal trail
Read the recent motion first. This block is for deciding whether the repository still looks alive, compounding, or flattening before you trust stars alone.
Package reality
No linked npm or PyPI package is mapped for this repository yet, so the page leans more heavily on GitHub-visible popularity and should be read more conservatively.
No linked package signal is expected for this project type, so the read leans more heavily on repository-level public signals.
Validation note
GitStar can summarize public signals for shieldfy/API-Security-Checklist, but the GitHub repository is still the primary place to confirm release cadence, issue activity, and maintainer intent.
GitStar surfaces public popularity and package signals. These rankings are not endorsements, security reviews, or investment advice.
Why this rank
This repository stands out because it combines stable visibility.
Reconstructed from current stars and cached daily/weekly/monthly deltas.
Bar lengths use a log scale so stars and package downloads stay comparable.
GitStar can see repository momentum, but it does not have a reliable linked package signal yet.
Treat stars and recent movement as discovery context only until npm or PyPI usage is available.

This page provides a quick overview of shieldfy/API-Security-Checklist based on GitStar's cached data. The signal chart reconstructs approximate checkpoints from current stars plus cached daily, weekly, and monthly star deltas, so it is best read as directional context rather than as a precise historical audit log.
