APIsec BOLT

Discover APIs from browser traffic and auto-generate OpenAPI specs.

APIsec BOLT automatically discovers APIs by capturing real application traffic directly from your browser—without proxies, agents, or configuration. As you interact with an application, BOLT identifies API endpoints, generates OpenAPI (Swagger) specifications, and provides a streamlined path to analyze and test those APIs using APIsec.ai. BOLT converts real runtime behavior into accurate API definitions, eliminating guesswork and accelerating documentation, onboarding, and security workflows. ⸻ Key Capabilities 1. Automatic capture of application traffic BOLT captures API calls directly from your active browser tab. No proxies or traffic redirection are required. Start capture and browse normally; BOLT records API interactions on the fly. 2. Automatic identification of API endpoints Captured traffic is analyzed in real time to identify API methods, paths, parameters, hostnames, and request/response metadata. This produces a reliable API inventory based on how your application actually behaves. 3. Automatic generation of OpenAPI (Swagger) specifications BOLT converts captured API calls into structured, accurate OpenAPI definitions. These specifications can be used for documentation, modeling, and integration with APIsec.ai’s automated testing workflows. 4. APIsec.ai–powered API security analysis API definitions discovered by BOLT can be analyzed using APIsec.ai’s automated security engine. APIsec.ai evaluates endpoints against a broad range of vulnerabilities, covering authentication and authorization issues, BOLA/IDOR, logic flaws, injection risks, misconfigurations, and complex multi-step attack paths. 5. One-click onboarding to APIsec.ai for comprehensive testing From BOLT, users can send API definitions or captured request data to APIsec.ai to initiate onboarding or run APIsec.ai’s built-in analysis and automated test generation. Testing includes advanced scenarios that traditionally require manual effort or specialized expertise. ⸻ How It Works 1. Open a web application and launch APIsec BOLT from the Chrome toolbar. 2. Start capture to automatically collect API traffic from your active browser tab. 3. Review the discovered endpoints and auto-generated OpenAPI definitions. 4. Optionally export or refine the specifications. 5. Send APIs to APIsec.ai to onboard new APIs or to run automated security analysis. ⸻ Non-intrusive and privacy-respecting by design APIsec BOLT operates completely on the user’s local machine. All traffic capture, API identification, and OpenAPI generation occur locally within the browser extension. BOLT does not intercept, modify, or block network traffic. It passively observes requests from the active browser tab solely for the purpose of API discovery and documentation. Transmission of API data to APIsec.ai occurs only when the user explicitly initiates it, either to onboard APIs into APIsec.ai or to run APIsec.ai’s built-in analysis on the discovered endpoints. No data is sent externally without user action.
