Rentgen.io nex-gen API testing tool

About

I’m building Rentgen.io, a local-only next generation API testing tool that uncovers backend issues fast — no cloud, no telemetry, no vendor lock-in. Tested on real production APIs, including ChatGPT’s own backend, where Rentgen helped uncover issues that were fixed immediately. I write about quality strategy, API testing, and practical engineering principles. I care about tools that actually solve problems — not shiny dashboards or buzzwords. If you’re building APIs or care about reliability, I’m probably working on something useful for you.

After testing hundreds of APIs, the biggest issues are still HTTP basics

After years of testing APIs across fintech, gov, and internal platforms, I keep seeing the same pattern: Most API bugs are not complex. They re boring HTTP basics that teams quietly forget.

A few examples I see again and again:

  • Missing auth returns 403 instead of 401 so clients debug permissions instead of authentication

  • Unsupported HTTP methods return 200 so people debug payloads instead of the method

  • Non-existent endpoints return 200 so monitoring shows everything is fine while users rage

  • Invalid payloads get echoed back in error messages opening doors nobody intended

  • Private APIs allow broad CORS origins because it worked in the browser
