Pynt
108 W. 13th Street, Wilmington, Delaware 19801, United States
What it is
Pynt is an API security testing tool that analyzes API traffic and creates simulated attacks to look for vulnerabilities. It uses application and API context, such as structure, sessions, parameters, users, and roles, to shape its tests. Coverage includes OWASP Top 10 risks for APIs, web applications, and LLMs, as well as business-logic scenarios and homegrown attacks. Findings can include vulnerability evidence, suggested fixes, risk scores, and CWE associations. A CLI supports CI/CD automation, with results produced in JSON. Pynt can analyze testing assets, Burp XML, HAR recordings, and live sources such as eBPF and ALB mirroring. Listed integrations span Postman, Newman, Python, Rest Assured, Burp, Go, Jest, ReadyAPI, Insomnia, GitHub Actions, GitLab, Jenkins, Azure DevOps, Jira, and Kubernetes. The free Starter plan allows testing of up to 10 API endpoints. Business cloud scans are available through a free trial. Local use requires Docker and Python 3.9 or later, and Postman integration requires the desktop app rather than its web interface.
