Here's a basic example of how to use the Antivirus Microservice client:

from antivirus_microservice import AntivirusMicroservice

antivirus = AntivirusMicroservice('http://localhost:3000')
result = antivirus.check_file('/path/to/your/file.txt')

if result['ok']:
    print("File is clean")
else:
    print(f"File is infected: {result['viruses']}")

API

The AntivirusMicroservice class provides the following method:

• check_file(file_path): Scans the provided file for viruses. Returns a dictionary with:
  • ok: boolean indicating whether the file is clean (True) or infected (False)
  • viruses: a list of detected virus names (only present if ok is False)

When initializing the AntivirusMicroservice class, you can specify the URL of your Antivirus Microservice server. By default, it uses http://localhost:3000.

antivirus = AntivirusMicroservice('http://your-custom-url:port')

Error Handling

The client handles basic errors:

• If there's an error communicating with the server, it returns {'ok': False, 'viruses': ['Error checking file']}.
• The specific error message is printed to the console.

Requirements

• Python 3.6 or higher
• requests library
