Pascal Obiwumma

Hello everyone👋 My name is Pascal. I'm a crypto futures trader as well as a web developer in the making. Currently working on my Technical analysis and frontend development. I'll be sharing my journey in becoming a successful trader and developer Let's connect🙇

Na me be Merlin today Still my day +1 Man don de old wetin no good

Happy birthday one and only Mitchmiller🙌 MGL bro🎉

@dev_TEMITAYO Not really

Has the algorithm been treating you well?

@KharayKrayKray GM broo

GM GM!!!

@KharayKrayKray Crazy shii

Nigerian women home and abroad all have the tendency to become prostitutes… see how that sounds? Dullard

@Bigsam_tj @AltSchoolAfrica @amaraonyeji Congrats man

🎓 From Beginning to Becoming @AltSchoolAfrica Today, I officially join the Class of 2026, School of Engineering 🎉 What started as a decision to explore cybersecurity has become one of the most defining journeys of my life. #AltGrads26 #TrainedByAltSchool @amaraonyeji

@_devEmmy So much knowledge here bro. Thank you

API Security Best Practices API security refers to the practices and mechanisms used to protect APIs from unauthorized access, abuse, and data breaches. It ensures only trusted users and systems can interact with backend services. Secure APIs protect sensitive data and maintain system integrity. Why API Security Is Important - APIs expose backend services to external applications - Poorly secured APIs can lead to data leaks and system compromise - Many modern applications rely heavily on APIs for communication - Protects user data, financial transactions, and business logic Authentication and Authorization - Always require authentication before granting API access - Use strong authorization mechanisms to control user permissions - Implement token-based authentication such as JWT - Ensure role-based or permission-based access control Use HTTPS for Encryption - Encrypt all API communications using HTTPS - Prevents attackers from intercepting sensitive data - Protects login credentials, tokens, and user information - Avoid transmitting sensitive data over unencrypted connections Input Validation - Validate all incoming data before processing it - Prevent malicious inputs such as SQL injection or script injection - Enforce strict data types and formats - Reject unexpected or malformed requests Rate Limiting and Throttling - Limit the number of requests a client can send - Prevent brute-force attacks and API abuse - Protect backend resources from overload - Example: limit requests per minute per user or IP API Keys and Tokens - Use API keys to identify applications accessing your API - Rotate API keys periodically - Store keys securely and avoid exposing them publicly - Combine API keys with stronger authentication methods Secure Error Handling - Avoid exposing internal system details in error messages - Do not reveal database queries or stack traces - Return generic error messages to clients - Log detailed errors internally for debugging Implement Access Control - Restrict access to sensitive endpoints - Apply least-privilege access principles - Ensure users only access resources they own or are permitted to use Monitoring and Logging - Log API activity for auditing and investigation - Monitor unusual traffic patterns - Detect suspicious behavior early - Use monitoring tools to track request metrics and failures API Versioning - Maintain different versions of APIs when changes are made - Prevent breaking existing client applications - Secure deprecated versions before removing them Protection Against Common Attacks SQL Injection - Sanitize inputs and use parameterized queries Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) - Validate and encode user-generated content Denial of Service (DoS) - Implement rate limiting and traffic filtering Best Practices Summary - Always authenticate and authorize API requests - Encrypt communication using HTTPS - Validate and sanitize all inputs - Implement rate limiting and monitoring - Protect API keys and tokens securely - Log and analyze API usage patterns Stay safe out there — secure APIs = secure apps!

@0xfeMMANUEL Sometimes Ego gets the better of those with a little more knowledge than others. sigh

I kinda feel bad for Nigeria tech twitter, you're trolling a person for not knowing a thing? There's always better ways to correct a person, with kindness

yeah been happening since last year, even 2025 so what I want to know is how did those saying Claude is good, blah blah, sign up ??

@Spectra010s Weirdly this is still my reason for not using claude. Every single time

Day 50 yep, you saw it 50🔥 Today, I worked on three codebase, multiple languages c, c++, rust, ts, java (compiling to apk is a bit hard), go nextjs, Tanstack query used Box today in rust, it's built-in and stores value on the heap , added a --no-compress flag to Portal

@Pymathpro Have a nice day

I needed a break yesterday #day5 mastering Japanese I will return to the Hiragana now. First, I will revise Second, I will learn to write Third, I will game Have a nice day, Joes and Jacks 👋

@sheCodezArt I can hardly believe you're Levi ackermann or Light yagami. cuz those guys are broken🤧. Do you think chat got it right??

Prompt: "... One thing buddy. Based on our discussions for over 3 years now, all I do, all I say, my folly, my energy, my preferences, my dislikes if any, and all and all, what anime character am I? Which matches my person? Or is there none?! 😂" Behold, I'm a man guys! 😂

Day 45 Sorting and Field Limiting Sorting allows users to order data, while Field Limiting (Projection) saves bandwidth by only sending the specific data requested.

@Spectra010s All good

@Pascal_FTM atm, I have a lot of PJ's, so I'm gonna sit out a bit

Day 43 Defining a schema We defined a new schema using new mongoose.Schema({}) and added field types and validation: name, duration, difficulty etc.. Then created and exported the model new mongoose.Schema({}) #webdev #backend #learninpublic

@Spectra010s You can get project ideas from AI. It'll be nice

@Pascal_FTM Ya using mongoose haven't had a project where I will use to learn it

Field Limiting (Projecting) Sometimes a client might just need the name and price. reduces the amount of data transferred over the network. Including Fields: Use ?fields=name,duration,price. Mongoose converts this to select('name..') also exclude fields by adding a minus sign

Sorting If the user provides a sort parameter in the URL (e.g., ?sort=price), you want to reorder the results accordingly. Single Field: To sort in ascending order, Mongoose uses sort('price'). For descending, use sort('-price').Multiple Fields: (?sort=price,ratingsAverage).
