But the enormous growth of API usage — around half of all internet traffic — is putting businesses’ data at risk.
Cybersecurity startup Vorlon says it helps businesses protect their data from such incidents using its platform, and raised $15.7 million to improve its technology.
Founded in 2022 by former Palo Alto Networks executives Amir Khayat and Amichay Spivak, Vorlon analyzes network traffic to detect and remediate potential API abuse in real-time.
Vorlon uses AI to analyze and map all the API communication it monitors and translate it into human-readable language.
Khayat said Vorlon doesn’t send chatbot data anywhere; instead, it sends user queries to its own databases, and the chatbot will return the information from the startup’s database.
For instance, those who want to track analytics around Threads’ posts can use an Insights API to retrieve things like views, likes, replies, reposts, and quotes.
There are also details on how to publish posts and media via the API, retrieve replies, and a series of troubleshooting tips.
So far, Threads API beta testers have included social tool makers like Sprinklr, Sprout Social, Social News Desk, Hootsuite, and tech news board Techmeme.
Instead, users still have to visit their settings in the Threads app itself to publish to the fediverse.
Meta says the new documentation will be updated over time as it gathers feedback from developers.
Adobe today announced Firefly Services, a set of over 20 new generative and creative APIs, tools and services.
Firefly Services makes some of the company’s AI-powered features from its Creative Cloud tools like Photoshop available to enterprise developers to speed up content creation in their custom workflows — or create entirely new solutions.
In addition, the company also today launched Custom Models, which allows businesses to fine tune Firefly models based on their assets.
Custom Models is already built into Adobe’s new GenStudio.
In addition to these AI features, Firefly Services also exposes tools for editing text layers, tagging content and applying presets from Lightroom, for example.
Application programming interfaces (APIs) power the modern internet, including most websites, mobile apps, and IoT devices we use.
This phenomenon, often referred to as the “API economy,” is projected to have a total market value of $14.2 trillion by 2027.
How AI integration changed the API landscapeVarious kinds of AI have been here for a while, but it’s generative AI (and LLMs) that completely changed the risk landscape.
Many AI companies use the benefits of API technologies to bring their products to every home and workplace.
Various kinds of AI have been here for a while, but it’s generative AI (and large language models [LLMs]) that completely changed the risk landscape.
Combining the power of artificial intelligence with human creativity can be a powerful tool for solving problems. Adept, a startup that has raised $350 million in a Series B funding…
