Astra
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.

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

$ cd API
$ python api.py
NOTE:
On macOS 10.13+ you must use the flag OBJC_DISABLE_INITIALIZE_FORK_SAFETY=YES to prevent scanning processes from being killed due to the way fork() and exec() has been changed. See here for more information.
$ cd API
$ OBJC_DISABLE_INITIALIZE_FORK_SAFETY=YES python api.py
