ASE can be configured to selectively block on a per API basis by configuring an API JSON file parameter. To enable per API blocking for each API, set the enable_blocking parameter to true in the API JSON. For example:

api_metadata": {
 "protocol": "http",
 "url": "/",
 "hostname": "*",
 "cookie": "",
 "cookie_idle_timeout": "200m",
 "logout_api_enabled": false,
 "cookie_persistence_enabled": false,
 "oauth2_access_token": false,
 "apikey_qs": "",
 "apikey_header": "",
 "enable_blocking": true,
 "login_url": "",
 "api_mapping": {
 "internal_url": ""
 },

If per API blocking is disabled, ABS still detect attacks for that specific API, however, ASE does not block them. ASE will continue to block attacks on other APIs with the enable_blocking set to true.
