Spec score 7.5 #18 of 27 in API Security Testing Software

What it is

Pynt tests API security by analyzing API traffic and creating simulated attacks to identify vulnerabilities. It uses application and API context—including structure, sessions, parameters, users, and roles—to shape its tests. Listed coverage includes OWASP Top 10 risks for APIs, web applications, and LLMs, as well as business-logic scenarios and custom attacks. Findings can include vulnerability evidence, suggested fixes, risk scores, and CWE associations. A CLI supports CI/CD automation, and results are provided in JSON. Pynt can analyze testing assets, Burp XML, HAR recordings, and live traffic sources such as eBPF and ALB mirroring. Listed integrations include Postman, Newman, Python, Rest Assured, Burp, Go, Jest, ReadyAPI, Insomnia, GitHub Actions, GitLab, Jenkins, Azure DevOps, Jira, and Kubernetes. The free Starter plan is limited to 10 API endpoints; Business cloud scans are available under a free trial. Local use requires Docker and Python 3.9 or later. Postman integration requires the desktop app rather than the web interface.
