Running the Pynt collection in Postman is a straightforward process that allows you to perform comprehensive API security testing. This guide will walk you through the steps to execute a Pynt collection, helping you identify vulnerabilities and assess the security posture of your APIs.
Configure Pynt Collection
💡 Postman API Key and Collection Setup: Configuring the Pynt collection with the Postman API key and the reference collection name/ID is necessary for Pynt to access your Postman workspace and generate security tests. The API key grants permission for Pynt to interact with your collections, and the collection name/ID ensures that Pynt applies the security tests to the correct API set.
Fill in the required parameters in Pynt's collection:
API-KEY: Enter your Postman API key under the 'Current Value' column. Generate a key if necessary at Postman API Keys.
port: The port number used in the Docker run command (default: 5001).
YOUR-COLLECTION: The functional test collection name or UID (UID is preferred).
scanId: Output variable (ignore).
💡 Reference App: Pynt provides a vulnerable app example called 'goat', which you can fork from the Pynt public workspace for testing purposes.
Running the Collection
After filling in the parameters, click 'Save'.
If you modify your test collection, re-run the Pynt collection.
To test another collection, update the YOUR-COLLECTION variable and re-run the Pynt collection.
⚠️ Tip: Ensure you use the correct API key and accurate collection name or ID to avoid issues while running the collection.
