How do I automate Intruder Attack?

How to start intruder start attack button through burp extender python API?

There isn't currently a way to start an Intruder attack via the API. Intruder attacks currently require manual configuration before launch.

Hi Schweta, Thanks for getting in touch. I'm just trying to properly understand your use case. As you say, it is possible to automate the Scanner with Burp. Doing this requires an extension (usually Carbonator or Burp REST API) and some fiddling. Future versions of Burp will have better support for this. It's not possible to automate Intruder. However, if you're prepared to do some coding, you can write an extension that sends some requests using the Burp HTTP stack. Depending on your exact requirements this may be useful for you. Please let us know if you need any further assistance.
