Multiple Target Scan at the same time using ZAP API in Python

[Xander Eirik]

Hi,

I'm kind of new to the ZAP API, Is it possible to Scan multiple targets at the same time using the ZAP API in python ? , If possible please give me an idea on how its done.

Hi.

Yes, you just need to start the scan multiple times with the different
targets.
There are examples in:
https://github.com/zaproxy/zap-api-python/tree/master/src/examples

that show how to start a scan (among other things).

Best regards.

Thats why we dont really recommend doing that :D

Right now we recommend that the docker packaged scans are best for most people when automating ZAP.

However we are working on a new Automation Framework which will be the recommended option when it matures.

For more details see https://www.zaproxy.org/docs/automate/

There is also a new reporting add-on which allows you to choose which sites to include in reports, but that doesnt support the API yet - thats coming soon.

Note that we will not be deprecating the API at all, we will keep maintaining and extending it, but for most people the other options are more suitable.

Worth noting that the exportreport add-on allows to create reports for
specific scans using the API.

Best regards.
