TAXII 2 Client Library

Project description

Build_Status Coverage Version

cti-taxii-client

NOTE: This is an OASIS Open Repository. See the Governance section for more information.

cti-taxii-client is a minimal implementation of client for the TAXII 2.0 server. It supports the following TAXII 2.0 API services:

  • Server Discovery

  • Get API Root Information

  • Get Status

  • Get Collections

  • Get a Collection

  • Get Objects

  • Add Objects

  • Get an Object

  • Get Object Manifests

Installation

The easiest way to install the TAXII client is with pip:

$ pip install taxii2-client

Usage

The TAXII client is intended to be used as a Python library. There are no command line clients at this time.

taxii2-client provides four classes:

  • Server

  • ApiRoot

  • Collection

  • Status

Each can be instantiated by passing a url, and (optional) user and password arguments. The authorization information is stored in the instance, so it need not be supplied explicitly when requesting services.

from taxii2client import Server
server = Server('https://example.com/taxii/', 'user_id', 'user_password')

Once you have instantiated a Server object, you can get all metadata about its contents via its properties:

print(server.title)

This will lazily load and cache the server’s information in the instance:

  • api_roots

  • title

  • description

  • default (i.e. the default API root)

  • contact

You can follow references to ApiRoot objects, Collection objects, and (STIX) objects in those collections.

api_root = server.api_roots[0]
collection = api_root.collections[0]
collection.add_objects(stix_bundle)

Each ApiRoot has attributes corresponding to its meta data

  • title

  • description

  • max_content_length

  • collections

Each Collection has attributes corresponding to its meta data:

  • id

  • title

  • description

  • can_write

  • can_read

  • media_types

A Collection can also be instantiated directly:

from taxii2client import Collection
collection = Collection('https://example.com/api1/collections/91a7b528-80eb-42ed-a74d-c6fbd5a26116')
collection.get_object('indicator--252c7c11-daf2-42bd-843b-be65edca9f61')

In addition to the object-specific properties and methods, all classes have a refresh() method that reloads the URL corresponding to that resource, to ensure properties have the most up-to-date values.
