zaproxy

ZAP Node API

The NodeJS implementation to access the ZAP API. For more information about ZAP consult the (main) ZAP project.

Install

npm install zaproxy

Usage

By default ZAP requires an API key to be sent with every request. This is done automatically providing you supply the same API key when you instantiate the ZapClient that you use to run ZAP with. All following API requests will use this same API key.
You can disable the API key when running ZAP if you are on a trusted network and understand the risks. If you choose to do so, you may omit the apiKey property of the zapOptions object supplied to ZapClient.

Instantiate the Node API:

const ZapClient = require('zaproxy');

const zapOptions = {
  apiKey: 'eahhr6h6kal92j21gkcnhkp80t',
  proxy: {
    host: '127.0.0.1',
    port: 8080,
  },
};

const zaproxy = new ZapClient(zapOptions);

Use the Node API:

let params = {
  contextid: contextid,
  userid: userid,
  url: sutbaseurl,
  maxchildren: maxchildren,
  recurse: recurse,
  subtreeonly: subtreeonly,
};
let response = await zaproxy.spider.scanAsUser(params);
console.log(response);

Encountering Errors

When encountering an error, like attempting to retrieve a non-existent context, a rejected promise will be returned. The rejection will contain an ApiClientError object, which encapsulates the specific details of the original error. This ApiClientError object offers valuable information regarding the failed request, and the original error can be accessed through the cause property. The response details, if any, are available through the response property, containing the status and data (body).
