Freemium Offering
Limited free usage of the 42Crunch API security testing tools
Our API testing tools are available to IDE users who have installed our OpenAPI Editor extension and registered with us. Registration is free and only requires an email address. Registration is required so we can send you a freemium token that activates your free account. Once registered you can run 100 operation audits and 100 operation scans each month for free. Users with greater usage requirements can upgrade to a paid single-user or team subscription.
Free API Security Testing
API Audit and API Scan are two core API security testing tools from 42Crunch. You can access these tools within the free 42Crunch OpenAPI editor available in VS code, IntelliJ and Eclipse IDEs.
API Audit performs over 300 checks on your OpenAPI definition to ensure the quality of your API design. It checks for security vulnerabilities and conformance to the OpenAPI specification.
API Scan dynamically tests the API to ensure conformance of the design and ensure it is free from security vulnerabilities.
Freemium Usage Limitations
Once you have registered for the ย freemium service you get 100 API operation audits and 100 operation scans per month in the IDE. An "operation" audit or scan is recognised as a Path + HTTP Method.
How to register for Freemium
To run our API security testing tools for free you need to register for freemium. To register you need to download the 42Crunch OpenAPI Editor extension in VS Code, Intellij or Eclipse IDEs and run an audit or a scan. The system will guide you through the rest.
