How does Bank API ensure API quality and security?

API quality is ensured through Spectral linting against multiple rulesets (OWASP, OpenAPI, NLGov), while security features include integrated resilience, caching, rate limiting, and secure authentication methods.

What is the primary purpose of the Bank API?

The Bank API serves as a C# design reference project for rapidly bootstrapping the development of compliant and modern APIs using ASP.NET Core 10.0 Minimal API.

What are some key technologies integrated into the Bank API?

It leverages ASP.NET Core 10.0 Minimal API, OpenTelemetry for robust observability, .NET Aspire for orchestration, Scalar for interactive documentation, and Spectral for API linting.

Does the Bank API support integration with AI agents?

Yes, it supports exposure to AI agents through the Model Context Protocol (MCPify), enabling AI systems to discover and interact with the API effectively.

Developer Tools

Security & Testing

Provides a design reference project for bootstrapping compliant and modern API development in C#.

The Bank API is a comprehensive design reference project crafted to accelerate the development of secure, compliant, and modern APIs. It demonstrates adherence to critical standards like OWASP API Security Top 10, OpenAPI Specification, and GDPR/CCPA, ensuring a robust foundation. Built on ASP.NET Core 10.0 Minimal API, it integrates advanced features like resilience, caching, rate limiting, and diverse authentication methods, alongside OpenTelemetry for observability and Aspire for streamlined orchestration. The project also showcases interactive documentation with Scalar, strict API linting with Spectral, and innovative integration possibilities via the Model Context Protocol (MCPify).
