Verified usage

Verified import paths — ran on the pinned version, not inferred.

ZAPv2

✓ from zapv2 import ZAPv2

Official import path

Connect to local ZAP instance (must be running on port 8080) and call the core version endpoint.

from zapv2 import ZAPv2 zapi = ZAPv2(apikey=os.environ.get('ZAP_API_KEY', ''), proxy={'http': 'http://127.0.0.1:8080', 'https': 'http://127.0.0.1:8080'}) print(zapi.urlopen('http://127.0.0.1')) # Core API example print(zapi.core.version)

Debug

Known issues

breakingIn version 0.5.0, the default proxy changed. Previously the proxy was optional; now it must be explicitly passed or set to None if no proxy.

fix

Always provide the proxy argument: ZAPv2(proxy={'http': 'http://127.0.0.1:8080', 'https': '...'})

affects: 0.5.0

gotchaThe ZAP API key is required by default starting ZAP 2.9. If not set, you may get a 401 error. Pass an empty apikey if ZAP is configured without one.

fix

Set ZAP_API_KEY environment variable or pass apikey='' to ZAPv2 for unauthenticated access.

affects: >=0.3.0

Errors

Common errors & fixes

AttributeError: module 'zaproxy' has no attribute 'ZAPv2'

Importing incorrectly from top-level 'zaproxy' package instead of 'zapv2' submodule.

fix

Use 'from zapv2 import ZAPv2' instead of 'import zaproxy'.
