APIsec Bolt Reviews & Product Details

its ability to turn the tedious, technical chore of API documentation and discovery into a "point-and-click" experience.

Unlike traditional security tools that require complex proxies, agents, or network redirects, BOLT is a Chrome extension. You just open your web app, click "Start Capture," and browse. It records the API calls happening in the background in real-time without you having to configure a single server setting. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

BOLT is a passive discovery tool. It only documents what your browser actually executes.

The Problem: If you don't click a specific button or trigger a specific error state, BOLT won't know those endpoints exist.

The Result: It can leave you with a "Swiss cheese" API specification where hidden or "shadow" endpoints (like /admin or /debug) remain invisible because you didn't happen to stumble upon them during your session. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I like best about APIsec Bolt is its focused approach to API security testing and automation. APIs are the backbone of modern applications, yet they’re often the most exposed attack surface. APIsec Bolt stands out because it automates deep security testing at scale while integrating into CI/CD pipelines, which helps teams catch vulnerabilities early instead of after deployment. I also appreciate how it enables organizations to shift security left without slowing down development — that balance between speed and security is critical today.

API security automation can sometimes generate a high volume of findings, and prioritization becomes critical. Without proper risk scoring or triage workflows, teams can feel overwhelmed. The opportunity is making results actionable and aligned to business risk. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

APIsec Bolt is a fast, reliable way to map API endpoints during web testing. Its automated discovery and clear grouping save a ton of recon time, and the OAS/JSON export is incredibly useful for deeper manual testing in Postman. The extension is lightweight, accurate, and backed by a team that genuinely cares about advancing API security. Highly recommended for anyone working with APIs.

I would like to see more advanced filtering and sorting for large endpoint sets to make the workflow even smoother, the team moves fast so I’m sure it’ll land soon. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It's intuitive, the learning curve is smooth, and adoption is very easy, and most of all, it's private to you, running completely locally. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
