Save Project File with BURP API

Kevin | Last updated: Nov 03, 2017 09:10AM UTC

Hello, In version 1.7.24 the ability to save a copy of a project was added. Is it possible to do this through the BURP API? I am trying to automate the process as much as possible, however this is still a manual step. I noticed in the javadoc that the SaveState and RestoreState functions are now deprecated, but couldn't find any SaveProject functions to replace them? (If not could this be a feature request?) Thanks, Kevin.

Hi Kevin, Thanks for your message. We will consider a saveProject API in the future. In the meantime, for an automated process, start Burp with the --project-file argument. Project files automatically save as you go, so you can just exit Burp when you're finished. Please let us know if you need any further assistance.

Hi Paul, Thanks - that sounds like a good solution! Kevin.

You can use --unpause-spider-and-scanner to workaround this,

Hi Again, I'm not sure if this is checked or if I should make a new post - but I gave your solution a try and thought it worked, but it looks like the scanner is paused when BURP loads up (possibly because it thinks it's opening an existing project file, when it's actually creating a new one) Is there a work-around for this, or is it just a bug?
