</dependency>

Usage

This client provides a very simple api to send REST request to an Arachni REST server.

Use the builder to get an instance of the ArachniClient. Just replace the url with the address of your Arachni REST server.

ArachniClient arachniClient = ArachniRestClientBuilder
    .create("http://127.0.0.1:8080")
    .build();

If your Arachni REST server is secured with basic authentication, use the following command.

ArachniClient arachniClient = ArachniRestClientBuilder
    .create("http://127.0.0.1:8080")
    .addCredentials("username", "password")
    .build();

To perform a new scan create a ScanRequest. It's best to use the fluent API like in the folling example:

ScanRequest scanRequest = ScanRequest.create().url("http://address:port").build();
Scan scan = arachniClient.performScan(scanRequest);

Request the status from a scan:

ScanResponse response = scan.monitor();

Download a generated HTML report from the server:

OutputStream outstream = new FileOutputStream(reportFile);
scan.getReportHtml(outstream);
