    • My schema breaks it somehow, the POST request to openapi.prod.scanner.cloud.escape.tech/fast returns a 502 after ~20s: https://i.vgy.me/D14u3k.png

    • Seems like a nice tool! Just a quick question, I do run some authenticated endpoints and would like to have them scanned. How can I achieve that with this scanner ?

    • Hey there, Escape dev here! This project follows the steps of graphql.security, our fast and free graphql API scanner, check it out if you use graphql rather than swagger/openapi
