Cloudflare API Shield
Organizations must not only protect APIs that drive business but also easily manage and monitor them.
Today Cloudflare API Shield, now generally available, keeps APIs secure and productive. We'll soon add API management and monitoring to make API Shield a full API Gateway so businesses can create, manage and secure APIs:
- Create and manage APIs directly with Cloudflare Workers
- Automatically detect unmanaged APIs (ready today with API Shield)
- Address authentication and authorization
- Identify and stop API abuse (ready today with API Shield)
- Transform, route, log, and measure API requests
Contact Cloudflare to activate API Shield now and expect additional gateway functionality to come soon.

Challenges of API Traffic
Cloudflare helps you build powerful, layered API defenses to keep up with the rise in API traffic.
58% of Cloudflare traffic is API-related
Cloudflare allows IT Security leaders to protect their public APIs - XML, RESTful and GraphQL - while enabling innovation. Your customer and partner trust is at stake, after all.
Shadow APIs create security blindspots
APIs are the fastest growing data type, growing more than twice as fast as web traffic. Cloudflare enables IT and Security leaders to gain visibility over their public APIs, schemas and performance metrics.
Authentication, data loss and abuse concerns
Once discovered, Cloudflare protects your APIs from abuse, vulnerability exploits, authentication loopholes and data leakage. Cloudflare now blocks more API traffic than web traffic.
