🔵Pynt Command CLI Mode

Leverage Pynt in Command CLI mode for efficient, automated API security testing. Run comprehensive security scans directly from your command-line interface.

🚀 At a Glance:

• Pynt Command Mode: Run automated API security tests alongside your CLI-based functional tests, integrating security seamlessly into your workflow.

The Pynt command is a mode within the Pynt CLI that enables you to run API security tests seamlessly alongside any CLI-based functional tests. It integrates directly into your existing testing workflow without requiring changes to your test scripts.

To use the Pynt command, simply wrap your existing functional test command with pynt. This allows Pynt to intercept and analyze API traffic generated by your tests in real time, automatically identifying potential security issues.

Basic usage

pynt command --cmd <your command line>

Optional arguments

    --cmd - The command that runs the functional tests
    --captured-domains - Pynt will scan only these domains and subdomains. For all domains write "*"
    --test-name - A name for your Pynt scan
