## What it is
Autoswagger is a Python command-line tool that discovers Swagger/OpenAPI specifications, parses their endpoints, and automatically tests them for unauthenticated access, PII leaks, and exposed secrets. It uses multi-threaded requests with rate limiting, Presidio-based PII recognition, and regex-based secret detection.

## Use cases
- find unauthenticated API endpoints from swagger docs
- scan OpenAPI spec for broken authorization
- detect PII leaks in API responses
- check API endpoints for exposed secrets and tokens
- audit my REST API for security weaknesses
- brute force API parameters to bypass validation
- test API endpoints without authentication

## When to choose
- you have an API with Swagger/OpenAPI documentation and want to find auth weaknesses
- you need automated PII and secrets leak detection in API responses
- you want a lightweight CLI for quick API security assessments

## When to avoid
- you need comprehensive authenticated API testing or full DAST coverage
- your API has no discoverable OpenAPI/Swagger specification
- the spec uses formats or extensions the tool does not yet handle
