Verification Requirements

验证要求

When using this skill to implement API features, you MUST:

Verify Before Implementing
- ✅ Check official OpenAPI 3.1 specification
- ✅ Confirm OAuth2.1/JWT patterns are current
- ✅ Validate OWASP API Security Top 10 2023 guidance
- ❌ Never guess HTTP status code meanings
- ❌ Never invent OpenAPI schema options
- ❌ Never assume RFC compliance without checking
Use Available Tools
- 🔍 Read: Check existing codebase for API patterns
- 🔍 Grep: Search for similar endpoint implementations
- 🔍 WebSearch: Verify specs in OpenAPI/IETF docs
- 🔍 WebFetch: Read official RFC documents and OWASP guides
Verify if Certainty < 80%
- If uncertain about ANY API spec/header/standard
- STOP and verify before implementing
- Document verification source in response
- API design errors affect all consumers - verify first
Common API Hallucination Traps (AVOID)
- ❌ Invented HTTP status codes
- ❌ Made-up OpenAPI specification fields
- ❌ Fake OAuth2 grant types or scopes
- ❌ Non-existent HTTP headers
- ❌ Wrong RFC 7807 Problem Details format

使用本技能实现API功能时，您必须：

实现前先验证
- ✅ 查阅官方OpenAPI 3.1规范
- ✅ 确认OAuth2.1/JWT模式为当前最新版本
- ✅ 验证OWASP API安全十大风险2023版指南
- ❌ 绝不猜测HTTP状态码的含义

使用可用工具
- 🔍 查阅：检查现有代码库中的API模式
- 🔍 搜索：查找类似端点的实现
- 🔍 网络搜索：在OpenAPI/IETF文档中验证规范
- 🔍 网络获取：阅读官方RFC文档和OWASP指南
当确定性低于80%时进行验证
- 若对任何API规范/头信息/标准存疑
- 停止操作并在实现前进行验证
- 在响应中记录验证来源
- API设计错误会影响所有消费者——务必先验证
常见API幻觉陷阱（需避免）
- ❌ 虚构HTTP状态码
- ❌ 编造OpenAPI规范字段
- ❌ 伪造OAuth2授权类型或权限范围
- ❌ 不存在的HTTP头
- ❌ 错误的RFC 7807问题详情格式

Self-Check Checklist

自我检查清单

Before EVERY response with API code:

Core Principles

核心原则

TDD First - Write API tests before implementation; verify contracts with httpx/pytest
Performance Aware - Design for scale: caching, pagination, compression, connection pooling
Security by Default - OWASP API Top 10 mitigations in every endpoint
Contract Driven - OpenAPI 3.1 spec defines the implementation, not vice versa
Fail Fast - Validate early, return clear errors with RFC 7807 format

先做测试驱动开发（TDD） - 在实现前编写API测试；使用httpx/pytest验证契约
关注性能 - 为可扩展性设计：缓存、分页、压缩、连接池
默认安全 - 每个端点都包含OWASP API十大风险缓解措施
契约驱动 - OpenAPI 3.1规范定义实现，而非反之
快速失败 - 尽早验证，返回RFC 7807格式的清晰错误

bandit -r app/                                         # Security scan

3. Core Responsibilities

3. 核心职责

1. RESTful API Design Excellence

1. RESTful API设计卓越

You will design REST APIs following best practices:

Use nouns for resources (
```
/users
```
,
```
/orders
```
), not verbs
Apply proper HTTP methods (GET, POST, PUT, PATCH, DELETE)
Return appropriate status codes (2xx, 3xx, 4xx, 5xx)
Implement HATEOAS for discoverability
Use plural nouns for collections (
```
/users
```
not
```
/user
```
)
Design hierarchical resources (
```
/users/{id}/orders
```
)
Avoid deep nesting (max 2-3 levels)
Use query parameters for filtering, sorting, pagination

您将遵循最佳实践设计REST API：

对资源使用名词（
```
/users
```
、
```
/orders
```
），而非动词
应用正确的HTTP方法（GET、POST、PUT、PATCH、DELETE）
返回合适的状态码（2xx、3xx、4xx、5xx）
实现HATEOAS以提升可发现性
对集合使用复数名词（
```
/users
```
而非
```
/user
```
）
设计分层资源（
```
/users/{id}/orders
```
）
避免深度嵌套（最多2-3层）
使用查询参数进行过滤、排序、分页

2. Authentication & Authorization

2. 认证与授权

You will implement secure authentication:

OAuth2 2.1 for delegated authorization
JWT with proper claims, expiration, and validation
API keys for service-to-service communication
mTLS for high-security environments
Token refresh patterns with rotation
Scope-based authorization (fine-grained permissions)
Never expose tokens in URLs or logs
Implement proper CORS policies

您将实现安全的认证机制：

使用OAuth2 2.1进行委托授权
带有正确声明、过期时间和验证的JWT
用于服务间通信的API密钥
高安全环境下的mTLS
带有轮换的令牌刷新模式
基于范围的授权（细粒度权限）
绝不在URL或日志中暴露令牌
实现正确的CORS策略

3. API Versioning Strategies

3. API版本控制策略

You will version APIs properly:

URL versioning (
```
/v1/users
```
,
```
/v2/users
```
) - most common
Header versioning (
```
Accept: application/vnd.api.v1+json
```
)
Query parameter versioning (
```
/users?version=1
```
)
Maintain backward compatibility
Deprecate versions gracefully with sunset headers
Document breaking vs non-breaking changes
Support multiple versions simultaneously

您将正确地对API进行版本控制：

URL版本控制（
```
/v1/users
```
、
```
/v2/users
```
）——最常用
头信息版本控制（
```
Accept: application/vnd.api.v1+json
```
）
查询参数版本控制（
```
/users?version=1
```
）
保持向后兼容性
使用Sunset头信息优雅地弃用旧版本
记录破坏性与非破坏性变更
同时支持多个版本

4. Rate Limiting & Throttling

4. 速率限制与限流

You will protect APIs from abuse:

Implement rate limiting per endpoint
Use sliding window or token bucket algorithms
Return
```
429 Too Many Requests
```
with
```
Retry-After
```
header
Provide rate limit info in headers (
```
X-RateLimit-*
```
)
Different limits for authenticated vs anonymous users
Implement burst allowances
Use distributed rate limiting (Redis) for scalability

📚 See Advanced Patterns for detailed rate limiting implementation

您将保护API免受滥用：

为每个端点实现速率限制
使用滑动窗口或令牌桶算法
返回
```
429 Too Many Requests
```
并附带
```
Retry-After
```
头
在头信息中提供速率限制信息（
```
X-RateLimit-*
```
）
为已认证用户与匿名用户设置不同限制
实现突发流量允许机制
使用分布式速率限制（Redis）以提升可扩展性

📚 请参阅高级模式获取详细的速率限制实现

5. Pagination Patterns

5. 分页模式

You will implement efficient pagination:

Offset-based: Simple but inefficient (
```
?offset=20&limit=10
```
)
Cursor-based: Efficient for real-time data (
```
?cursor=abc123
```
)
Keyset pagination: Best performance (
```
?after_id=100
```
)
Include pagination metadata (
```
total
```
,
```
page
```
,
```
per_page
```
)
Provide HATEOAS links (
```
next
```
,
```
prev
```
,
```
first
```
,
```
last
```
)
Set reasonable default and maximum page sizes
Use consistent pagination across all endpoints

📚 See Advanced Patterns for cursor-based pagination examples

您将实现高效的分页：

偏移量分页：简单但低效（
```
?offset=20&limit=10
```
）
基于游标：适用于实时数据（
```
?cursor=abc123
```
）
键集分页：最佳性能（
```
?after_id=100
```
）
包含分页元数据（
```
total
```
、
```
page
```
、
```
per_page
```
）
提供HATEOAS链接（
```
next
```
、
```
prev
```
、
```
first
```
、
```
last
```
）
设置合理的默认和最大页面大小
在所有端点使用一致的分页

📚 请参阅高级模式获取基于游标分页的示例

6. Error Handling Standards

6. 错误处理标准

You will implement consistent error responses:

Use RFC 7807 Problem Details format
Return proper HTTP status codes
Provide actionable error messages
Include error codes for client handling
Never expose stack traces or internal details
Use correlation IDs for tracing
Document all possible error scenarios
Implement validation error arrays

您将实现一致的错误响应：

使用RFC 7807问题详情格式
返回正确的HTTP状态码
提供可操作的错误消息
包含供客户端处理的错误代码
绝不暴露堆栈跟踪或内部细节
使用关联ID进行追踪
记录所有可能的错误场景
实现验证错误数组

4. Implementation Patterns

4. 实现模式

Pattern 1: REST Resource Design

模式1：REST资源设计

http

undefined

http

undefined

✅ GOOD: Proper REST resource hierarchy

✅ 良好实践：正确的REST资源层级

GET /v1/users # List users POST /v1/users # Create user GET /v1/users/{id} # Get user PUT /v1/users/{id} # Replace user (full update) PATCH /v1/users/{id} # Update user (partial) DELETE /v1/users/{id} # Delete user

GET /v1/users/{id}/orders # Get user's orders POST /v1/users/{id}/orders # Create order for user

GET /v1/users # 列出用户 POST /v1/users # 创建用户 GET /v1/users/{id} # 获取用户 PUT /v1/users/{id} # 替换用户（全量更新） PATCH /v1/users/{id} # 更新用户（部分更新） DELETE /v1/users/{id} # 删除用户

GET /v1/users/{id}/orders # 获取用户的订单 POST /v1/users/{id}/orders # 为用户创建订单

Query parameters for filtering/sorting/pagination

用于过滤/排序/分页的查询参数

GET /v1/users?role=admin&sort=-created_at&limit=20&offset=0

❌ BAD: Verbs in URLs

❌ 不良实践：URL中使用动词

GET /v1/getUsers POST /v1/createUser GET /v1/users/{id}/getOrders

---

GET /v1/getUsers POST /v1/createUser GET /v1/users/{id}/getOrders

---

Pattern 2: HTTP Status Codes

模式2：HTTP状态码

javascript

// ✅ CORRECT: Use appropriate status codes

// 2xx Success
200 OK                  // GET, PUT, PATCH (with body)
201 Created             // POST (new resource)
204 No Content          // DELETE, PUT, PATCH (no body)

// 4xx Client Errors
400 Bad Request         // Invalid input
401 Unauthorized        // Missing/invalid authentication
403 Forbidden           // Authenticated but not authorized
404 Not Found           // Resource doesn't exist
409 Conflict            // Duplicate resource, version conflict
422 Unprocessable Entity // Validation failed
429 Too Many Requests   // Rate limit exceeded

// 5xx Server Errors
500 Internal Server Error // Unexpected server error
503 Service Unavailable  // Temporary downtime

// ❌ WRONG: Always returning 200
res.status(200).json({ error: "User not found" }); // DON'T DO THIS!

// ✅ RIGHT
res.status(404).json({
  type: "https://api.example.com/errors/not-found",
  title: "Resource Not Found",
  status: 404,
  detail: "User with ID 12345 does not exist"
});

javascript

// ✅ 正确做法：使用合适的状态码

// 2xx 成功
200 OK                  // GET、PUT、PATCH（带响应体）
201 Created             // POST（创建新资源）
204 No Content          // DELETE、PUT、PATCH（无响应体）

// 4xx 客户端错误
400 Bad Request         // 无效输入
401 Unauthorized        // 缺失/无效认证
403 Forbidden           // 已认证但未授权
404 Not Found           // 资源不存在
409 Conflict            // 重复资源、版本冲突
422 Unprocessable Entity // 验证失败
429 Too Many Requests   // 超出速率限制

// 5xx 服务器错误
500 Internal Server Error // 意外服务器错误
503 Service Unavailable  // 临时停机

// ❌ 错误做法：始终返回200
res.status(200).json({ error: "User not found" }); // 切勿这样做！

// ✅ 正确做法
res.status(404).json({
  type: "https://api.example.com/errors/not-found",
  title: "Resource Not Found",
  status: 404,
  detail: "User with ID 12345 does not exist"
});

Pattern 3: RFC 7807 Error Responses

模式3：RFC 7807错误响应

javascript

// ✅ STANDARDIZED ERROR FORMAT (RFC 7807)
{
  "type": "https://api.example.com/errors/validation-failed",
  "title": "Validation Failed",
  "status": 422,
  "detail": "The request body contains invalid fields",
  "instance": "/v1/users",
  "correlation_id": "f47ac10b-58cc-4372-a567-0e02b2c3d479",
  "errors": [{ "field": "email", "code": "invalid_format", "message": "Email must be valid" }]
}

// Error handler middleware - never expose stack traces
app.use((err, req, res, next) => {
  if (err instanceof ApiError) {
    return res.status(err.status).json({ ...err, instance: req.originalUrl });
  }
  res.status(500).json({ type: "internal-error", title: "Internal Server Error", status: 500, correlation_id: generateCorrelationId() });
});

javascript

// ✅ 标准化错误格式（RFC 7807）
{
  "type": "https://api.example.com/errors/validation-failed",
  "title": "Validation Failed",
  "status": 422,
  "detail": "The request body contains invalid fields",
  "instance": "/v1/users",
  "correlation_id": "f47ac10b-58cc-4372-a567-0e02b2c3d479",
  "errors": [{ "field": "email", "code": "invalid_format", "message": "Email must be valid" }]
}

// 错误处理中间件 - 绝不暴露堆栈跟踪
app.use((err, req, res, next) => {
  if (err instanceof ApiError) {
    return res.status(err.status).json({ ...err, instance: req.originalUrl });
  }
  res.status(500).json({ type: "internal-error", title: "Internal Server Error", status: 500, correlation_id: generateCorrelationId() });
});

Pattern 4: JWT Authentication Best Practices

模式4：JWT认证最佳实践

javascript

// ✅ SECURE JWT - Use RS256, short expiration, validate all claims
const validateJWT = async (req, res, next) => {
  const token = req.headers.authorization?.substring(7);
  if (!token) return res.status(401).json({ type: "unauthorized", status: 401, detail: "Bearer token required" });

  try {
    const decoded = jwt.verify(token, publicKey, {
      algorithms: ['RS256'],  // Never HS256 in production
      issuer: 'https://api.example.com',
      audience: 'https://api.example.com'
    });
    const isRevoked = await tokenCache.exists(decoded.jti);  // Check revocation
    if (isRevoked) throw new Error('Token revoked');
    req.user = decoded;
    next();
  } catch (error) {
    return res.status(401).json({ type: "invalid-token", status: 401, detail: "Invalid or expired token" });
  }
};

// Scope-based authorization
const requireScope = (...scopes) => (req, res, next) => {
  const hasScope = scopes.some(s => req.user.scope.includes(s));
  if (!hasScope) return res.status(403).json({ type: "forbidden", status: 403, detail: `Required: ${scopes.join(', ')}` });
  next();
};

app.get('/v1/users', validateJWT, requireScope('read:users'), getUsers);

📚 For advanced patterns, see:

Advanced Patterns - Rate limiting, pagination, OpenAPI documentation
Security Examples - Detailed OWASP API Security Top 10 implementations

javascript

// ✅ 安全JWT - 使用RS256、短过期时间、验证所有声明
const validateJWT = async (req, res, next) => {
  const token = req.headers.authorization?.substring(7);
  if (!token) return res.status(401).json({ type: "unauthorized", status: 401, detail: "Bearer token required" });

  try {
    const decoded = jwt.verify(token, publicKey, {
      algorithms: ['RS256'],  // Never HS256 in production
      issuer: 'https://api.example.com',
      audience: 'https://api.example.com'
    });
    const isRevoked = await tokenCache.exists(decoded.jti);  // Check revocation
    if (isRevoked) throw new Error('Token revoked');
    req.user = decoded;
    next();
  } catch (error) {
    return res.status(401).json({ type: "invalid-token", status: 401, detail: "Invalid or expired token" });
  }
};

// 基于范围的授权
const requireScope = (...scopes) => (req, res, next) => {
  const hasScope = scopes.some(s => req.user.scope.includes(s));
  if (!hasScope) return res.status(403).json({ type: "forbidden", status: 403, detail: `Required: ${scopes.join(', ')}` });

OWASP API Security Top 10 2023 - Summary

OWASP API安全十大风险2023 - 摘要

Threat	Description	Key Mitigation
API1: Broken Object Level Authorization (BOLA)	Users can access objects belonging to others	Always verify user owns resource before returning data
API2: Broken Authentication	Weak auth allows token/credential compromise	Use RS256 JWT, short expiration, token revocation, rate limiting
API3: Broken Object Property Level Authorization	Exposing sensitive fields or mass assignment	Whitelist output/input fields, use DTOs, never expose passwords/keys
API4: Unrestricted Resource Consumption	No limits leads to DoS	Implement rate limiting, pagination limits, request timeouts
API5: Broken Function Level Authorization	Admin functions lack role checks	Verify roles/scopes for every privileged operation
API6: Unrestricted Access to Sensitive Business Flows	Business flows can be abused	Add CAPTCHA, transaction limits, step-up auth, anomaly detection
API7: Server Side Request Forgery (SSRF)	APIs make requests to attacker-controlled URLs	Whitelist allowed hosts, block private IPs, validate URLs
API8: Security Misconfiguration	Improper security settings	Set security headers, use HTTPS, configure CORS, disable debug
API9: Improper Inventory Management	Unknown/forgotten APIs	Use API gateway, maintain inventory, retire old versions
API10: Unsafe Consumption of APIs	Trust third-party APIs without validation	Validate external responses, implement timeouts, use circuit breakers

Critical Security Rules:

javascript

// ✅ ALWAYS verify authorization
app.get('/users/:id/data', validateJWT, async (req, res) => {
  if (req.user.sub !== req.params.id && !req.user.isAdmin) {
    return res.status(403).json({ error: 'Forbidden' });
  }
  // Return data...
});

// ✅ ALWAYS filter sensitive fields
const sanitizeUser = (user) => ({
  id: user.id,
  name: user.name,
  email: user.email
  // NEVER: password_hash, ssn, api_key, internal_notes
});

// ✅ ALWAYS validate input
body('email').isEmail().normalizeEmail(),
body('age').optional().isInt({ min: 0, max: 150 })

// ✅ ALWAYS implement rate limiting
const apiLimiter = rateLimit({ windowMs: 15 * 60 * 1000, max: 100 });
app.use('/api/', apiLimiter);

📚 See Security Examples for detailed implementations of each OWASP threat

威胁	描述	核心缓解措施
API1: Broken Object Level Authorization (BOLA)	用户可访问属于他人的对象	在返回数据前始终验证用户是否拥有资源
API2: Broken Authentication	弱认证允许令牌/凭证泄露	使用RS256 JWT、短过期时间、令牌吊销、速率限制
API3: Broken Object Property Level Authorization	暴露敏感字段或批量赋值	白名单输出/输入字段，使用DTO，绝不暴露密码/密钥
API4: Unrestricted Resource Consumption	无限制导致拒绝服务	实现速率限制、分页限制、请求超时
API5: Broken Function Level Authorization	管理员功能缺少角色检查	为每个特权操作验证角色/范围
API6: Unrestricted Access to Sensitive Business Flows	业务流可被滥用	添加CAPTCHA、交易限制、进阶认证、异常检测
API7: Server Side Request Forgery (SSRF)	API向攻击者控制的URL发起请求	白名单允许的主机，阻止私有IP，验证URL
API8: Security Misconfiguration	不当的安全设置	设置安全头，使用HTTPS，配置CORS，禁用调试模式
API9: Improper Inventory Management	未知/被遗忘的API	使用API网关，维护清单，弃用旧版本
API10: Unsafe Consumption of APIs	信任第三方API而不验证	验证外部响应，实现超时，使用断路器

关键安全规则：

javascript

// ✅ 始终验证授权
app.get('/users/:id/data', validateJWT, async (req, res) => {
  if (req.user.sub !== req.params.id && !req.user.isAdmin) {
    return res.status(403).json({ error: 'Forbidden' });
  }
  // 返回数据...
});

// ✅ 始终过滤敏感字段
const sanitizeUser = (user) => ({
  id: user.id,
  name: user.name,
  email: user.email
  // NEVER: password_hash, ssn, api_key, internal_notes
});

// ✅ 始终验证输入
body('email').isEmail().normalizeEmail(),
body('age').optional().isInt({ min: 0, max: 150 })

// ✅ 始终实现速率限制
const apiLimiter = rateLimit({ windowMs: 15 * 60 * 1000, max: 100 });
app.use('/api/', apiLimiter);

7. Common Mistakes to Avoid

7. 需避免的常见错误

Anti-Pattern	Wrong	Right
Verbs in URLs	`POST /createUser`	`POST /users`
Always 200	`res.status(200).json({error: "Not found"})`	`res.status(404).json({...})`
No rate limiting	`app.post('/login', login)`	Add `rateLimit()` middleware
Exposing secrets	`res.json(user)`	`res.json(sanitizeUser(user))`
No validation	`db.query(..., [req.body])`	Use `body('email').isEmail()`

📚 See Anti-Patterns Guide for comprehensive examples

反模式	错误做法	正确做法
URL中使用动词	`POST /createUser`	`POST /users`
始终返回200	`res.status(200).json({error: "Not found"})`	`res.status(404).json({...})`
无速率限制	`app.post('/login', login)`	添加 `rateLimit()` 中间件
暴露机密	`res.json(user)`	`res.json(sanitizeUser(user))`
无验证	`db.query(..., [req.body])`	使用 `body('email').isEmail()`

📚 请参阅反模式指南获取全面示例

8. Critical Reminders

8. 关键提醒

NEVER

绝不

Use verbs in URLs, return 200 for errors, expose secrets
Skip authorization, allow unlimited requests, trust unvalidated input
Return stack traces, use HTTP for auth, store tokens in localStorage

在URL中使用动词，为错误返回200，暴露机密
跳过授权，允许无限制请求，信任未验证的输入
返回堆栈跟踪，使用HTTP进行认证，在localStorage中存储令牌

ALWAYS

始终

Use nouns for resources, return proper HTTP status codes
Implement rate limiting, validate all inputs, check authorization
Use HTTPS, implement pagination, version APIs, document with OpenAPI 3.1

对资源使用名词，返回正确的HTTP状态码
实现速率限制，验证所有输入，检查授权
使用HTTPS，实现分页，对API进行版本控制，使用OpenAPI 3.1文档
