REST API penetration testing is complex due to continuous changes in existing APIs and newly added APIs. Astra can be used by security engineers or developers as an integral part of their process, so they can detect and patch vulnerabilities early during development cycle. Astra can automatically detect and test login & logout (Authentication API), so it's easy for anyone to integrate this into CICD pipeline. Astra can take API collection as an input so this can also be used for testing apis in standalone mode.

REST API Security testing Framework
optional arguments:
-h, --help show this help message and exit
-c {Postman,Swagger}, --collection_type {Postman,Swagger}
Type of API collection
-n COLLECTION_NAME, --collection_name COLLECTION_NAME
Type of API collection
-u URL, --url URL URL of target API
-headers HEADERS, --headers HEADERS
Custom headers.Example: {"token" : "123"}
