Abstract
Methods of operating an application programming interface (API) request risk assessment system include receiving an API request from a source computer application that is directed to a destination computer application. A risk assessment score is generated based on a characteristic of the API request. The risk assessment score indicates a level of trustworthiness of the source computer application. Deliverability of the API request to the destination computer application is controlled based on the risk assessment score. Related methods of operating a source computer and related operations by API request risk assessment systems and source computers are disclosed.
