When Burp Suite DAST discovers APIs through an integration, they appear in the New tab in API finder. You need to review these APIs and create sites for the ones you want to scan. APIs that you don't want to scan can be ignored.

Creating API sites

The New tab lists the APIs that Burp Suite DAST has discovered. For each API, you can see:

• The API type (REST or SOAP).
• The number of endpoints. Click this to view the individual endpoints and their HTTP methods.
• The date the API was discovered.
• The source: the integration or connection the API came from. Click this to view the connection details.

Creating a site for a single API

To create a site for a single API, click Create site in the Actions column for that API.

Burp Suite DAST creates a site for the API and adds it to the site tree. The API moves to the Onboarded tab.

Creating sites for multiple APIs

To create sites for multiple APIs at once:

1. Select the checkboxes next to the APIs you want to create sites for.
2. Click Create sites.
3. Complete the bulk import flow to configure the sites. For more information, see Bulk uploading APIs.

Burp Suite DAST creates a site for each selected API and adds them to the site tree. The APIs move to the Onboarded tab.

Ignoring APIs

If you don't want to create a site for an API, you can ignore it. Ignored APIs move to the Ignored tab and no longer appear in the New tab.

To ignore a single API, click the Ignore icon in the Actions column.

To ignore multiple APIs at once:

1. Select the checkboxes next to the APIs you want to ignore.
2. Click Ignore.

Restoring ignored APIs

You can restore ignored APIs and move them back to the New tab if you want to create sites for them later.

1. Go to the Ignored tab.
2. Select the checkboxes next to the APIs you want to restore.
3. Click Revert.
