Integrate with "Snyk API" from snyk.io in no time with Mockoon's ready to use mock sample
snyk.io
Version: 1.0.0
Start working with "Snyk API" right away by using this ready-to-use mock sample. API mocking can greatly speed up your application development by removing all the tedious tasks or issues: API key provisioning, account creation, unplanned downtime, etc.
It also helps reduce your dependency on third-party APIs and improves your integration tests' quality and reliability by accounting for random failures, slow response time, etc.
The Snyk API is available to customers on paid plans and allows you to programatically integrate with Snyk.
API vs CLI vs Snyk integration
The API detailed below has the ability to test a package for issues, as they are defined by Snyk. It is important to note that for many package managers, using this API will be less accurate than running the Snyk CLI as part of your build pipe, or just using it locally on your package. The reason for this is that more than one package version fit the requirements given in manifest files. Running the CLI locally tests the actual deployed code, and has an accurate snapshot of the dependency versions in use, while the API can only infer it, with inferior accuracy. It should be noted that the Snyk CLI has the ability to output machine-readable JSON output (with the --json flag to snyk test).
A third option, is to allow Snyk access to your development flow via the existing Snyk integrations. The advantage to this approach is having Snyk monitor every new pull request, and suggest fixes by opening new pull requests. This can be achieved either by integrating Snyk directly to your source code management (SCM) tool, or via a broker to allow greater security and auditability.
If those are not viable options, this API is your best choice.
API url
The base URL for all API endpoints is https://snyk.io/api/v1/
Authorization
To use this API, you must get your token from Snyk. It can be seen on https://snyk.io/account/ after you register with Snyk and login.
The token should be supplied in an Authorization header with the token, preceded by token:
