Why we picked it When your UI tool's built-in rules are not enough, or you have outgrown them, Xano is a no-code backend that gives you real auth and API-level control, and this is its own guide to locking that down. It covers user authentication, API keys, request header checks, and rate limiting, and is honest about the trap: Xano auto-generates CRUD endpoints that ship open by default, fine for prototyping, a leak in production. Consider it when you need a backend you control, not a first stop for a simple app.
Securing your Xano APIs
From xano.com by Xano About a 12 minute read
- Xano gives you token based authentication, API keys, header checks, and rate limiting so you can layer several defenses on one endpoint.
- Auto-generated CRUD endpoints are unauthenticated and externally reachable by default, lock or delete them before you ship.
- A backend like Xano is the move when your no-code UI tool's access rules cannot express the logic you need, not before.
