In this case I always run a common wordlist like “directory-list-2.3-small.txt” or “common.txt” just in case the API endpoints contain commonly found words that aren’t that common with APIs. The best results I’ve had were API specific wordlists. SecLists has an entire section dedicated to APIs that could be used and there are tons of other wordlists that’ll be shown below, but I’d like to focus in on the wordlists provided by Assetnote.
