Well, I had the honor of taking this exam, which basically challenges you to explore two APIs and answer 8 questions. For me it was a very fun test, I can say that I completed all 8 challenges, despite having made a mistake in submitting a flag 😅

What will the exam require of you?

Knowledge of API and a good basis for exploiting vulnerabilities that involve various types of injection, breaking of access controls and objects, patience especially and programming skills, as in some processes I preferred to use the Python requests library, but I believe that everyone will resolve in their own way.

The 4 hours were enough to solve all 8 questions, you have plenty of time to do it calmly.

I don’t recommend asking for tips, as you will lose points and believe me, just read the question carefully and it will give you the answer to solve the challenge.

Before taking the test, try the Mock Exam or study API pen testing. As I already took the APISec University exam, which is very good too! This already gave me a basis to explore and follow a line of reasoning.

And before asking what is the difference between this exam and the ASCP, you can be sure that one complements the other, with ASCP being a more black box challenge that will require you to have more in-depth and clear knowledge, without tips and without statements. And the C-APIPen provides a more gray box exam, which makes it fun and challenging. Therefore, before taking this exam, take the CAPen to have a good base.
