It provides access to ZAP's spider, scanner, and other security testing modules through a straightforward client interface. The package depends on requests for HTTP communication and six for Python compatibility, and targets Python 3.9 and later.\n\nTypically used in automated security testing workflows and custom security tooling where you want to integrate ZAP's vulnerability detection into your development process. The library translates Python method calls into ZAP API requests, making it easier to script complex security testing scenarios without manually constructing HTTP calls.","worth_installing":"Yes. The package is actively maintained, has low install friction, carries a permissive Apache-2.0 license, and provides a straightforward Python interface to a mature security testing platform. Install it if you need to automate ZAP scanning in your development or testing workflow."},"id":"zaproxy","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/zaproxy","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/zaproxy.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/zaproxy/"},"maintenance":{"status":"active"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2026-06-12","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"zaproxy","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"ZAP API Client"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":132067,"position":11566,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"0.6.0"}
