A REST API for Burp Suite DAST that offers compatibility for users familiar with the Burp Suite Professional API. Supports initiating scans from CI/CD systems and failing builds on issue detection. The API is self-documenting via interactive docs served at the server URL; API key authentication is required. GraphQL is recommended for new integrations as REST exposes a more limited feature set.
