Zap-cli context commands return connection errors

[ngumina]

I am trying to import a saved context into Zap-cli and any command involving 'context' returns the below error. Also, running a regular zap-cli quick scan command works just fine, so I don't think it's an API or daemon issue. any insight would be appreciated

-bash-4.2$ zap-cli context list

This is probably caused due to the fact that you did not specifiy the API_KEY. As you can see in the URL, the API KEY parameter is empty. This can be solved by setting the ZAP_API_KEY env variable (I advise to also set the ZAP_PORT and ZAP_PATH env variables). You can find the API KEY in ZAP desktop via Tools - Options - API
