A Python client for the Snyk API.
Using the client requires you to provide your Snyk API token.
import snyk
client = snyk.SnykClient("<your-api-token>")
By default the client will connect to the public Snyk service. If you are using a local installation then you can provide the API url as the second argument.
import snyk
client = snyk.SnykClient("<your-api-token>", "<your-instance-of-snyk>")
By default the User-Agent
string for the API requests will be pysnyk/<version>
. If you would like to send a custom user agent you can do so as follows:
import snyk
client = snyk.SnykClient("<your-api-token>", user_agent="<your-instance-of-snyk>")
By default the requests are not retried. If you would like to retry failed requests with backoff
and delay
you can do so as follows:
import snyk
client = snyk.SnykClient("<your-api-token>", tries=4, delay=1, backoff=2)
tries
- the maximum number of attempts. Default:1
(no retries)delay
- initial delay between attempts. Default:1
backoff
- multiplier applied to delay between attempts. Default:2
debug
- run client in debug mode, useful for debugging API requests. Default:False
With the client we can get a list of Snyk organizations you are a member of:
client.organizations.all()
This returns a list of snyk.models.Organization
objects.
If you already have the ID of the organization you're after you can grab it directly:
client.organizations.get("<organization-id>")
This will return a single snyk.models.Organization
object.
Most of the API is scoped to organizations, so most other methods are found on the snyk.models.Organization
objects returned by these two methods.
The snyk.models.Organization
object has the following properties related to the API:
entitlements
- returns the set of Snyk features available to this accountdependencies
- returns a Manager for packages in use in this organizationlicenses
- returns a Manager for licenses currently in use by projects in this organisationmembers
- returns a Manager for membersprojects
- returns a Manager for associated projectsintegrations
- returns a Manager for active integrations
Managers provide a consistent API for accessing objects from the Snyk API. Each manager implements the following methods:
all()
- return a list of all of the relevant objectsget("<id>")
- return a single instance of the object if it existsfirst()
- grab the first instance of the object if one existsfilter(<key>="<value>")
- return a list filtered by one or more key/value pairs
Once you have an organization you're likely to want to grab the related projects:
client.organizations.first().projects.all()
This will return a list of snyk.models.Project
objects.
In the case where you want to get all of the projects across all of your organizations then you can use the handy method on the client.
client.projects.all()
The snyk.models.Project
object has the following useful properties and methods:
delete()
- deletes the project in question. Be careful as this will delete all associated data toomove(new_org_id)
- moves the project to a new organizationdependencies
- returns a Manager for packages in use in this projectdependency_graph
- returns asnyk.models.DependencyGraph
object which represents the full dependency graph of package dependenciesignores
- returns a Manager for ignore rules set on the projectvulnerabilities
- returns a list ofsnyk.models.Vulnerability
objects with information about vulnerabilities in this projectjira_issues
- returns a Manager with access to any associated Jira issueslicenses
- returns a Manager for licenses currently in use by this projectsettings
- returns a Manager for interacting with the current project settingstags
- returns a Manager for interacting with the current project tags
You can add and delete tags using the manager:
tags.add(key, value)
- adds a tag with the provided key/value pair to the projecttags.delete(key, value)
- deletes a tag with the provided key/value pair from the project
In the case of Projects, as well as filtering by properties (as mentioned above) you can also filter by tag:
client.organizations.first().projects.filter(tags = [{"key": "some-key", "value": "some-value"}])
Note that the settings
Manager can also be used to update settings like so, assuming you have a snyk.models.Project
object in the variable project
.
project.settings.update(pull_request_test_enabled=True)
The client supports a high-level import_project
method on organizations for adding new projects to be monitored by Snyk.
org = client.organizations.first()
org.import_project("github.com/user/project@branch")
org.import_project("docker.io/repository:tag")
If you are targetting a specific manifest file or files you can pass those as an optional argument, for instance:
org.import_project("github.com/user/project@branch", files=["Gemfile.lock"])
This method currently only supports importing projects from GitHub and Docker Hub. For other integrations you will need to grab the lower-level snyk.models.Integration
object from the snyk.models.Organization.integrations
manager noted above. Other services will be added to this API soon.
The API also exposes methods to discover vulnerability information about individual packages. These methods are found on the Organization object.
test_maven(<package_group_id>, <package_artifact_id>, <version>)
- returns an IssueSet containing vulnerability information for a Maven artifacttest_rubygem(<name>, <version>)
- returns an IssueSet containing vulnerability information for a Ruby Gemtest_python(<name>, <version>)
- returns an IssueSet containing vulnerability information for Python package from PyPitest_npm(<name>, <version>)
- returns an IssueSet containing vulnerability information for an NPM package
Here's an example of checking a particular Python package.
>>> org = client.organizations.first()
>>> result = org.test_python("flask", "0.12.2")
>>> assert result.ok
False
# You can access details of the vulnerabilities too, for example
>>> result.issues.vulnerabilities[0].title
'Improper Input Validation'
>>> result.issues.vulnerabilities[0].identifiers
{'CVE': ['CVE-2018-1000656'], 'CWE': ['CWE-20']
As well as testing individual packages you can also test all packages found in various dependency management manifests. The client currently supports the following methods:
test_pipfile(<file-handle-or-string>)
- returns an IssueSet for all Python dependencies in aPipfile
test_gemfilelock(<file-handle-or-string>)
- returns an IssueSet for all Ruby dependencies in aGemfile
test_packagejson(<file-handle-or-string>, (<lock-file-handle-or-string>))
- returns an IssueSet for all Javascript dependencies in apackage.json
file. Optionally takes apackage.lock
filetest_gradlefile(<file-handle-or-string>)
- returns an IssueSet for all dependencies in aGradlefile
test_sbt(<file-handle-or-string>)
- returns an IssueSet for all dependencies defined in a.sbt
filetest_pom(<file-handle-or-string>)
- returns an IssueSet for all dependencies in a Mavenpom.xml
filetest_yarn(<file-handle-or-string>, <lock-file-handle-or-string>)
- returns an IssueSet for all dependencies in Yarnpackage.json
andyarn.lock
filestest_composer(<file-handle-or-string>, <lock-file-handle-or-string>)
- returns an IssueSet for all dependencies in Composercomposer.json
andcomposer.lock
files
For example, here we are testing a Python Pipfile
.
>>> org = client.organizations.first()
>>> file = open("Pipfile")
>>> org.test_pipfile(file)
You can invite new users to the organization via the API.
>>> org = client.organizations.first()
>>> org.invite("example@example.com")
You can also invite new users as administrators:
>>> org = client.organizations.first()
>>> org.invite("example@example.com", admin=True)
As well as the high-level API of the Snyk client you can use the HTTP methods directly. For these you simply need to pass the path, and optionally a data payload. The full domain, and the authentication details, are already provided by the client.
client.get("<path>")
client.delete("<path>")
client.put("<path>", <data>)
client.post("<path>", <data>)
Most of the time you shouldn't need to use these. They are mainly useful if new methods are added to the API which are not yet supported in the client. This can also be useful if you want to pass very specific parameters, or to parse the raw JSON output from the API.
pysnyk >= 0.9.0 now includes support for basic rest (formerly referred to as v3) compatibility. To switch to use a rest client, pass the rest API url and version when initializing a client. Right now it supports the GET
method. Refer to the rest API docs for more information and examples.
Getting the rest information of an organization:
# To get this value, get it from a Snyk organizations settings page
snyk_org = "df734bed-d75c-4f11-bb47-1d119913bcc7"
# to use the rest endpoint you MUST include a version value and the url of the v3 api endpoint as shown below
rest_client = SnykClient(snyk_token, version="2022-02-16~experimental", url="https://api.snyk.io/rest")
print(rest_client.get(f"/orgs/{snyk_org}").json())
# this supports overriding rest versions for a specific GET requests:
user = rest_client.get(f"orgs/{snyk_org}/users/{snyk_user}", version="2022-02-01~experimental").json()
# pass parameters such as how many results per page
params = {"limit": 10}
targets = rest_client.get(f"orgs/{snyk_org}/targets", params=params)
V1 and rest can work at the same time by instantiating two clients:
snyk_org = "df734bed-d75c-4f11-bb47-1d119913bcc7"
v1client = SnykClient(snyk_token)
rest_client = SnykClient(snyk_token, version="2022-02-16~experimental", url="https://api.snyk.io/rest")
v1_org = v1client.organizations.get(snyk_org)
rest_org = rest_client.get(f"/orgs/{snyk_org}").json()
The rest API introduces consistent pagination across all endpoints. The v3 client includes a helper method .get_rest_pages
which collects the paginated responses and returns a single list combining the contents of the "data" key from all pages. It takes the same values as the get method.
rest_client = SnykClient(snyk_token, version="2022-02-16~experimental", url="https://api.snyk.io/rest")
params = {"limit": 10}
targets = rest_client.get(f"orgs/{snyk_org}/targets", params=params).json()
print(len(targets["data"]))
# returns 10 targets
all_targets = rest_client.get_rest_pages(f"orgs/{snyk_org}/targets", params=params)
print(len(all_targets))
# returns 33 targets, note we don't have to add .json() to the call or access the "data" key, get_rest_pages does that for us
# Override Content-Type header (or others) as needed for
response = rest_client.post(f"orgs/{snyk_org}/invites", body={"email": "some.body@snyk.io", "role": "f8223479-01a9-4774-8e29-06ce9a0513d6", headers={"Content-Type": "application/vnd.api+json"}})
For backwards compatibility the get_rest_pages method has an alternative name of get_v3_pages to not break code already rewritten replatformed to the 0.9.0 pysnyk module.
