APIKit is a BurpSuite extension (Java plugin) that discovers, scans, and audits leaked API documentation such as GraphQL, OpenAPI/Swagger, Spring Boot Actuator, SOAP/WSDL, and REST/WADL. It parses discovered API docs into BurpSuite requests for API security testing and can automate unauthorized-access checks.

Use cases

  • discover leaked swagger or graphql endpoints in burp traffic
  • find exposed spring boot actuator endpoints during pentests
  • parse api documentation into replayable burp requests
  • automate testing for api unauthorized access vulnerabilities
  • chain apikit with xray for full api vulnerability scanning
  • fingerprint api technologies on arbitrary targets

When to choose

  • you already use BurpSuite for web/API penetration testing
  • you need passive discovery of API docs from live traffic
  • you want to detect exposed actuator, swagger, or WSDL endpoints during authorized assessments

When to avoid

  • you need a standalone scanner outside BurpSuite
  • you lack authorization to test the target
  • you need non-Java/Burp environments or CI-based API scanning
