Burp's new REST API

Summary: PortSwigger is adding a new REST API to Burp Suite that other tools can use to integrate with it. The initial release supports launching vulnerability scans and obtaining results, with more functions to be added over time, and the API is self-documenting with an OpenAPI specification available in JSON format.
What you should know: Burp Scanner's findings can now be pulled directly into other tooling instead of living only inside the Burp interface, which changes how scan results reach the teams and systems that act on them.
