Introducing CQ: A C-like API for Quantum Accelerated HPC
In this paper we present CQ, a specification for a C-like API for quantum accelerated HPC, as well as CQ-SimBE, a reference implementation of CQ written in C99, and built on top of the statevector simulator QuEST. CQ focuses on enabling the incremental integration of quantum computing into classical HPC codes by supporting runtime offloading from languages such as C and Fortran. It provides a way of describing and offloading quantum computations which is compatible with strictly and strongly ty…

Automated Testing of Broken Authentication Vulnerabilities in Web APIs with AuthREST
We present AuthREST, an open-source security testing tool targeting broken authentication, one of the most prevalent API security risks in the wild. AuthREST automatically tests web APIs for credential stuffing, password brute forcing, and unchecked token authenticity. Empirical results show that AuthREST is effective in improving web API security. Notably, it uncovered previously unknown authentication vulnerabilitiesin in four public APIs.

I’ve been testing a theory: many people who are high on #AI and #LLMs are just new to automation and don’t realize you can automate processes with simple programming, if/then conditions, and API calls with zero AI involved.
So far it’s been working!
Whenever I’ve been asked to make an AI flow or find a way to implement AI in our work with a client, I’ve returned back with an automation flow that uses 0 AI.
Things like “when a new document is added here, add a link to it in this spreadsheet and then create a task in our project management software assigned to X with label Y”.
And the people who were frothing at the mouth at how I must change my mind on AI have (so far) all responded with resounding enthusiasm and excitement.
They think it’s the same thing. They just don’t understand how much automation is possible without any generative tools.

GOAT: A Training Framework for Goal-Oriented Agent with Tools
Large language models (LLMs) have recently been extended beyond traditional text generation to serve as interactive agents capable of using external tools based on user intent. However, current LLM agents still show limited ability to handle goal-oriented queries, which require decomposing a high-level objective into multiple interdependent API calls with correct planning and execution. Current approaches mainly rely on zero-shot evaluation due to the absence of training data. While proprietary…

Rethinking HTTP API Rate Limiting: A Client-Side Approach
HTTP underpins modern Internet services, and providers enforce quotas to regulate HTTP API traffic for scalability and reliability. When requests exceed quotas, clients are throttled and must retry. Server-side enforcement protects the service. However, when independent clients' usage counts toward a shared quota, server-only controls are inefficient; clients lack visibility into others' load, causing their retry attempts to potentially fail. Indeed, retry timing is important since each attempt…

Hot take: A REST API does not have "endpoints." It has one start point, and then links.
"Endpoints" are what RPC-style APIs use, where each distinct URL is essentially a distinct function call.
That's a fine way to design an API. You're not wrong for doing it. But it's not a REST API. It's RPC, even if it's using HTTP verbs and error codes.
Terms matter.

However, as shown by many studies, writing or generating correct code to invoke APIs, particularly web APIs, is challenging. Although large language models~(LLMs) have become popular in software development, their effectiveness in automating the generation of web API integration code remains unexplored. In order to address this, we present a dataset and evaluation pipeline designed…

APRIL: API Synthesis with Automatic Prompt Optimization and Reinforcement Learning
APIs are central to modern software development, yet composing new APIs from large libraries is difficult due to the exponential search space; traditional component-based synthesis relies on costly exploration and hand-crafted specifications. While large language models (LLMs) can generate implementations from natural language, hallucinations and limited access to up-to-date contextual information often yield incorrect code. In this paper, we present APRIL, an approach that combines LLM-based s…
