About
API protection on Cloudflare's global network that discovers endpoints, blocks attacks and prevents data leakage.
Cloudflare API Shield helps teams catalog and manage API endpoints, block attacks and vulnerability exploits, and prevent data leakage. It runs on Cloudflare's global network, so protection sits in front of APIs without separate infrastructure.
The service automatically discovers and secures API endpoints, applies advanced threat detection and helps stop data exfiltration. Cloudflare says teams can start building for free, but the product page does not publish API Shield specific pricing.
