API vulnerability scanning is the automated process of testing your API endpoints for security weaknesses, misconfigurations, and common vulnerabilities. It helps identify issues like broken authentication, injection flaws, excessive data exposure, and other OWASP API Top 10 risks before attackers can exploit them.

Vullify supports scanning for REST APIs, GraphQL APIs, and gRPC services. You can upload your OpenAPI/Swagger schema to automatically discover and test all your API endpoints, or configure Vullify to scan your API endpoints directly.

Yes, Vullify checks for all OWASP API Top 10 vulnerabilities, including broken object level authorization (BOLA), broken authentication, excessive data exposure, lack of resources and rate limiting, broken function level authorization, mass assignment, security misconfiguration, injection flaws, improper assets management, and insufficient logging and monitoring.

Vullify provides native integrations with popular CI/CD tools like GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, Jenkins, and Azure DevOps. You can automatically trigger API security scans with every code commit, pull request, or deployment, ensuring that vulnerabilities are caught early in the development lifecycle.

Yes, Vullify supports authenticated API scanning. You can configure authentication methods including API keys, OAuth tokens, JWT tokens, and basic authentication. This allows Vullify to test protected endpoints and identify vulnerabilities that exist behind authentication barriers.

While web application scanners focus on HTML-based applications and user interfaces, API scanners are specifically designed to test API endpoints, request/response formats, and API-specific vulnerabilities. APIs often have different attack surfaces, authentication mechanisms, and data structures that require specialized testing approaches.

We recommend continuous API scanning, especially for APIs in production. Since APIs are frequently updated and new endpoints are added regularly, continuous scanning ensures that new vulnerabilities are detected immediately. Vullify can automatically scan your APIs on a schedule or trigger scans when changes are detected.

Yes, Vullify can automatically discover API endpoints by analyzing your OpenAPI/Swagger specifications, monitoring network traffic, or scanning your infrastructure. This helps ensure that all your APIs are included in security testing, even if they were not explicitly added to the platform.

When Vullify detects a vulnerability, it immediately alerts you through your configured notification channels (Slack, email, Jira, etc.). Each finding includes detailed information about the vulnerability, its severity, potential impact, and step-by-step remediation guidance. You can also track remediation progress directly in the Vullify dashboard.
