Aqua Security Library

A Python library providing a clean API interface for interacting with Aqua Security platform.

Overview

The aquasec library provides reusable components for building Aqua Security utilities. It includes modules for authentication, API calls, and configuration management with secure credential storage.

Installation

pip install aquasec

Dependencies

  • requests>=2.28.0
  • prettytable>=3.5.0
  • cryptography>=41.0.0
  • inquirer>=3.1.0

Features

  • Authentication: Support for API keys and username/password authentication
  • Configuration Management: Secure credential storage with profile support
  • API Modules: Organized by domain (licenses, enforcers, repositories, etc.)
  • Utilities: Common functions for data export and processing

Quick Start

from aquasec import authenticate, get_licences, get_all_licenses, interactive_setup

# Setup credentials interactively
interactive_setup()

# Or use environment variables
import os
os.environ['AQUA_KEY'] = 'your-api-key'
os.environ['AQUA_SECRET'] = 'your-api-secret'
os.environ['CSP_ENDPOINT'] = 'https://xyz.cloud.aquasec.com'

# Authenticate
token = authenticate()

# Get license information (consolidated totals)
licenses = get_licences(os.environ['CSP_ENDPOINT'], token)
print(licenses)

# Get full license details
all_licenses = get_all_licenses(os.environ['CSP_ENDPOINT'], token)
print(all_licenses)

Configuration Management

The library includes a comprehensive configuration management system that stores credentials securely:

Basic Profile Management

from aquasec import ConfigManager, load_profile_credentials, get_profile_info

# Create configuration manager
config_mgr = ConfigManager()

# Save a profile
config = {
    'auth_method': 'api_keys',
    'api_endpoint': 'https://api.cloudsploit.com',
    'csp_endpoint': 'https://xyz.cloud.aquasec.com',
    'api_role': 'Administrator',
    'api_methods': 'ANY'
}
creds = {
    'api_key': 'your-key',
    'api_secret': 'your-secret'
}
config_mgr.save_config('production', config)
config_mgr.encrypt_credentials(creds)

# Load profile (returns tuple: success, actual_profile_name)
success, profile_name = load_profile_credentials('production')

# Set default profile
config_mgr.set_default_profile('production')

# Get profile information (includes credentials_ref hash)
profile_info = get_profile_info('production')
print(profile_info)

Advanced Profile Functions

from aquasec import (
    get_all_profiles_info,
    format_profile_info,
    delete_profile_with_result,
    set_default_profile_with_result,
    profile_operation_response
)

# Get all profiles information
all_profiles = get_all_profiles_info()

# Format profile info for display
profile_info = get_profile_info('default')
print(format_profile_info(profile_info, 'text'))  # Human readable
print(format_profile_info(profile_info, 'json'))  # JSON format

# Delete profile with structured result
result = delete_profile_with_result('old-profile')
print(profile_operation_response(
    result['action'], 
    result['profile'], 
    result['success'],
    result.get('error'),
    'json'
))

# Set default profile with result
result = set_default_profile_with_result('production')
if result['success']:
    print("Default profile updated")

API Examples

License Management

from aquasec import get_licences, get_all_licenses, get_app_scopes, get_repo_count_by_scope

# Get consolidated license info (uses API-provided totals)
licenses = get_licences(server, token)

# Get raw license API response (all license details)
all_licenses = get_all_licenses(server, token)

# Get application scopes
scopes = get_app_scopes(server, token)

# Get repository count by scope (with optional verbose parameter for debug output)
repo_counts = get_repo_count_by_scope(server, token, [s['name'] for s in scopes], verbose=True)

VM Inventory

from aquasec import get_all_vms, get_vm_count, filter_vms_by_coverage, filter_vms_by_cloud_provider

# Get all VMs
vms = get_all_vms(server, token)

# Get VM count  
count = get_vm_count(server, token)

# Filter VMs without enforcer coverage
vms_without_enforcer = filter_vms_by_coverage(
    vms, 
    excluded_types=['vm_enforcer', 'host_enforcer', 'aqua_enforcer']
)

# Filter by cloud provider
aws_vms = filter_vms_by_cloud_provider(vms, ['AWS'])

# Filter by risk level
high_risk_vms = filter_vms_by_risk_level(vms, ['critical', 'high'])

Enforcer Management

from aquasec import get_enforcer_count, get_enforcer_groups, get_enforcer_count_by_scope

# Get enforcer count
count = get_enforcer_count(server, token)

# Get enforcer count by scope (with optional verbose parameter)
scope_counts = get_enforcer_count_by_scope(server, token, scope_names, verbose=True)

# Get enforcer groups
groups = get_enforcer_groups(server, token)

Serverless Functions (NEW in v0.4.0)

from aquasec import get_function_count, api_get_functions

# Get total functions count across all scopes
total_functions = get_function_count(server, token, verbose=True)

# Get functions with pagination (for detailed data)
functions_response = api_get_functions(server, token, page=1, page_size=50, verbose=True)
functions_data = functions_response.json() if functions_response.status_code == 200 else {}

Repository Management

from aquasec import get_repo_count, get_all_repositories, get_repo_count_by_scope, api_delete_repo

# Get total repository count
total_repos = get_repo_count(server, token, verbose=True)

# Get repository count for specific scope
scoped_repos = get_repo_count(server, token, scope='production', verbose=True)

# Get all repositories with optional filtering
all_repos = get_all_repositories(server, token, registry='myregistry', verbose=True)

# Get repository count by multiple scopes
repo_counts = get_repo_count_by_scope(server, token, ['prod', 'staging'], verbose=True)

# Delete a specific repository
response = api_delete_repo(server, token, 'myregistry', 'myrepo', verbose=True)
if response.status_code in [200, 202, 204]:
    print("Repository deleted successfully")

Production-Ready Examples

The examples/ directory contains production-ready implementations demonstrating how to use the aquasec library effectively:

🔧 License Utility

Command-line tool for analyzing license utilization and generating reports.

  • License utilization analysis across scopes
  • Multiple output formats (table, JSON, CSV)
  • 50%+ performance improvement with optimized API calls

📊 Repository Breakdown

CLI tool for analyzing repository scope assignments and identifying orphaned repositories.

  • List repositories with scope assignments
  • Identify orphaned repositories (Global scope only)
  • Export results to CSV or JSON

💻 VM Extract

Utility for extracting VM inventory data with advanced filtering capabilities.

  • Comprehensive VM inventory extraction
  • Filter by coverage, cloud provider, region, risk level
  • Memory-efficient streaming for large datasets

🗑️ Repository Delete Utility

Safety-first tool for bulk deletion of image repositories.

  • Dry-run mode by default, requires --apply flag for actual deletions
  • Multiple filtering options (registry, host-images, empty-only)
  • Clean table output with status indicators and progress tracking
  • Comprehensive safety features and error handling

Getting Started with Examples:

cd examples/license-utility
pip install -r requirements.txt
python aqua_license_util.py setup
python aqua_license_util.py --all-results

See examples/README.md for detailed documentation.

Building Custom Utilities

The library makes it easy to create focused utilities:

#!/usr/bin/env python3
import json
import os
from aquasec import authenticate, load_profile_credentials, get_licences, get_all_licenses

# Load saved credentials
success, profile_name = load_profile_credentials('default')

# Authenticate
token = authenticate()

# Get consolidated license totals
licenses = get_licences(os.environ['CSP_ENDPOINT'], token)

# Or get full license details
all_licenses = get_all_licenses(os.environ['CSP_ENDPOINT'], token)

# Output as JSON
print(json.dumps(licenses, indent=2))
