cti-taxii-client is a minimal client implementation for the TAXII 2.X server. It supports the following TAXII 2.X API services:
- Server Discovery
- Get API Root Information
- Get Status
- Get Collections
- Get a Collection
- Get Objects
- Add Objects
- Get an Object
- Delete an Object (2.1 only)
- Get Object Manifests
- Get Object Versions (2.1 only)
The easiest way to install the TAXII client is with pip
$ pip install taxii2-client
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. By default, the latest version of the supported spec will be imported. If you need a specific version you can perform the following:
from taxii2client.v21 import Server
server = Server('https://example.com/taxii2/', user='user_id', password='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
alias
(2.1 only)can_write
can_read
media_types
A Collection
can also be instantiated directly:
# Performing TAXII 2.0 Requests
from taxii2client.v20 import Collection, as_pages
collection = Collection('https://example.com/api1/collections/91a7b528-80eb-42ed-a74d-c6fbd5a26116')
print(collection.get_object('indicator--252c7c11-daf2-42bd-843b-be65edca9f61'))
# For normal (no pagination) requests
print(collection.get_objects())
print(collection.get_manifest())
# For pagination requests.
# Use *args for other arguments to the call and **kwargs to pass filter information
for bundle in as_pages(collection.get_objects, per_request=50):
print(bundle)
for manifest_resource in as_pages(collection.get_manifest, per_request=50):
print(manifest_resource)
# ---------------------------------------------------------------- #
# Performing TAXII 2.1 Requests
from taxii2client.v21 import Collection, as_pages
collection = Collection('https://example.com/api1/collections/91a7b528-80eb-42ed-a74d-c6fbd5a26116')
print(collection.get_object('indicator--252c7c11-daf2-42bd-843b-be65edca9f61'))
# For normal (no pagination) requests
print(collection.get_objects())
print(collection.get_manifest())
# For pagination requests.
# Use *args for other arguments to the call and **kwargs to pass filter information
for envelope in as_pages(collection.get_objects, per_request=50):
print(envelope)
for manifest_resource in as_pages(collection.get_manifest, per_request=50):
print(manifest_resource)
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.
