Hi Chandanu Thanks for your message. You can use Burp to test web APIs, however you normally need to use the normal API client to generate suitable traffic, since Burp can't read the API documentation and generate valid requests. Normally, you need to configure your client to use Burp as its proxy, then exercise all the API's features, and capture the traffic in Burp. Then you can test the traffic in the normal way as you would for browser-generated traffic. The requests will be recorded in the Proxy > HTTP history tab. The application will also appear in the Target > Site map tab. You can read more about these tools on our online Support Center and documentation: - https://portswigger.net/burp/help/proxy.html - https://portswigger.net/burp/help/target.html Additionally, you can read about how to use Burp Scanner to test your application: - https://portswigger.net/burp/help/scanner.html Please let us know if you need any further assistance.
