42Crunch Launches Automated API Contract Generation to Improve Governance & Speed Development

API World, Santa Clara, CA – October 24, 2023 – 42Crunch the API Security platform vendor, launched today, API Capture, to automate the generation of OpenAPI contracts and API security testing configurations from Postman collections and API traffic. API Capture benefits enterprises by enabling their development teams adopt best practice API security governance policies from the earliest stages in the API lifecycle at design time. This delivers improved compliance controls and reduced costs and time to develop secure APIs.

API Capture is a new service capability available via the 42Crunch API Security platform. It automates the tedious tasks of writing OpenAPI contracts and testing configurations, thereby freeing up development teams from time-consuming design and maintenance tasks. API Capture uniquely captures OpenAPI definitions, testing configurations and API traffic in compliance with guidelines mandated by the application security teams. This makes it easier for developers to implement security policies during the design and development lifecycle and avoid bottlenecks at testing and deployment time.

Commenting on the announcement, Isabelle Mauny, Field CTO and co-founder of 42Crunch said, “API Capture addresses an important API governance and compliance challenge for the enterprise. With this new service our customers benefit from even stronger API security best-practices and can roll out API-based services to the market faster.”

“Our aim is to help security and development teams collaborate on the enterprise goal of delivering enhanced security for their API-based services. API Capture facilitates this by automating an enterprise’s compliance with set  API contract definitions and empowering their developers  to code API-based innovative services,” added Mauny.
