Enterprise API Custom Configuration Failure

Bailey, | Last updated: Jul 02, 2020 06:53PM UTC

When I create a custom configuration I am unable to use the Custom Configuration with the API to execute a scan. The call is "curl -vgw "\n" -x POST 'https://[myburpscanner]:8443/api/[user api key]/v0.1/scan' -d '{"name":"[target name]","scan_configurations":[{"config":"my scan config","type":"CustomConfiguration"}],"urls":["https://[targeturl]"]}'" I get a status of "Failed" with "Error Dispatching scan to New Agent 1". If I change the scan configuration to a Named builtin scan configuration the scan executes properly. There are 5 agents available to execute the scan. Using Burp Enterprise Version 2020.4.3-4859, Java version: 9.0.4

Thanks for getting in touch. In the command are you entering the name of the custom configuration or entering the JSON for the configuration? If you’ve not already done this, can you try entering the JSON for the custom configuration, please?
