OWASP_ZAP_API_scripts
OWASP ZAP API Scripts is a collection of Python scripts and configuration files designed to automate security testing for APIs using the OWASP ZAP (Zed Attack Proxy) tool, with a specific focus on testing the Hackazon application. The package includes a main automation script, OWASPhackazonAPI.py, which orchestrates the testing workflow, along with supporting authentication scripts, security policies, and context configuration files.

This tool is useful for security professionals and penetration testers who want to streamline API vulnerability scanning, automate authenticated scans, and apply consiste
