Akto now replays APIs to automatically get data during an import of Postman and Swagger files and transparently displays reasons why each specific API couldn't be replayed in the case of an error.
Akto populates API inventory by connecting to your source of traffic. This source of traffic is called a traffic connector. With 20+ traffic connectors, Akto allows you to get started with API security testing by connecting to a traffic source that is most suitable to your security team, including Kubernetes, AWS Traffic Mirroring, NGINX, Istio, OpenAPI or Swagger, and Postman.
With Postman and Swagger files, Akto now replays APIs to automatically get data during an import and transparently displays reasons why each specific API couldn't be replayed in the case of an error.
Previously on Akto, when importing files of this kind, if there were 100 APIs and only 97 were hit, you would receive a 4XX error response without knowing why it occurred. Now, however, Akto outlines to you the exact reasons why we couldn’t hit the remaining 3 APIs. Your team can now go back, and fix the Postman collection so that you can get started with API security testing.
