Error 400 Bad Request on /burp/proxy/history and /burp/target/sitemap #91

I am using https://github.com/vmware/burp-rest-api to scan and get the issues When Burp's history is populated with some requests to application, the burp-rest-api fails to return data on /burp/proxy/history and /burp/target/sitemap and instead returns the following error: "message": "URLDecoder: Illegal hex characters in escape (%) pattern - Error at index 1 in: "1$"",

Hi, You are using a third party REST API, which we cannot provide support for as it is not our product. If you are having issues using this then you might be better to ask the authors on their Github page - https://github.com/vmware/burp-rest-api. We do provide our own official REST API, which you can configure from the User options -> Misc -> REST API section within Burp (this is then accessed in the browser via http://127.0.0.1:1337).

You must be an existing, logged-in customer to reply to a thread. Please email us for additional support.
