Hi kkuzhal,

the guided configuration for AWAF API protection offers two variants.
1. You have an OpenAPI Specification (formerly Swagger Specification)
2. You don't

If you have, it will allow only the specified API endpoint and methods. If you don't, you have to specify them manually. That's pretty much it.

I like API Protection with APM better, because it includes authentication and rate limiting.
