This is a self-paced lab that takes place in the Google Cloud console. In this lab, you modify an API to require OAuth tokens for access. You use the SpikeArrest policy to limit the rate of API calls by application, and you use private variables and data masking to hide sensitive data from users who debug API traffic.
