API sprawl is a term used to describe the uncontrolled proliferation of APIs across an organization. It’s a common problem for organizations that have multiple development teams and a wide variety of applications and services. As more APIs are created, it becomes increasingly difficult to keep track of them and how they’re being used. And by the looks of it, things are about to get a lot more complicated. According to Cloudflare, API calls are growing twice as fast as HTML traffic, which makes APIs “an ideal candidate for new security solutions aimed at protecting customer data.”
