Abstract
Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, for controlling access to APIs. One of the methods includes receiving a request from a client for a computer authorization challenge to access an application programming interface; determining a computer authorization challenge with a difficulty of completion that satisfies a target computational cost for the application programming interface; and providing the computer authorization challenge to the client for access to the application programming interface.
