crawlsnap 0.1.1

Official Python SDK for CrawlSnap — the data intelligence API platform

crawlsnap

Official Python SDK for CrawlSnap — a data intelligence platform that delivers structured, on-demand data through fast, typed APIs. Authenticate once and call any CrawlSnap data product, with first-class types, automatic retries, and pagination built in.

• Idiomatic, fully typed client (httpx + pydantic v2)
• crawlsnap.init(...) singleton or an explicit CrawlSnap client
• Resource namespacing: crawlsnap.vector_snap.ip(...)
• Returns typed data; raises typed exceptions — no envelope bookkeeping
• Built-in retries with exponential backoff, configurable timeout, auto-pagination

---

Installation

pip install crawlsnap

Requires Python 3.8+.

Authentication

Get an API key (sk-cs-...) from your CrawlSnap dashboard. Provide it either via the environment or explicitly:

export CRAWLSNAP_API_KEY=sk-cs-...

crawlsnap.init()                       # reads CRAWLSNAP_API_KEY
crawlsnap.init(api_key="sk-cs-...")    # or pass it explicitly

The key is sent as Authorization: Bearer sk-cs-.... Treat it like a password.

Quick start

import crawlsnap

crawlsnap.init(api_key="sk-cs-...")

ip = crawlsnap.vector_snap.ip("8.8.8.8")
print(ip.reputation, ip.as_owner, ip.country)

Each call returns the typed enrichment payload directly, and raises a typed exception on failure — you never inspect an is_success envelope yourself.

Resources

Resource	Methods	Returns
vector_snap	url · hash · ip · domain	reputation, detections, categories, relationships
pulse_snap	url · hash · ip · domain	threat-intelligence pulse (and sandbox) summary
subdo_snap	scan · scan_iter	enumerated subdomains (paginated)

url    = crawlsnap.vector_snap.url("https://example.com")
file   = crawlsnap.vector_snap.hash("44d88612fea8a8f36de82e1278abb02f")
domain = crawlsnap.vector_snap.domain("google.com")

pulse  = crawlsnap.pulse_snap.ip("8.8.8.8")

Every method takes the indicator as the first positional argument and accepts raw_response=True (see below).

Error handling

Failures raise a typed exception instead of returning an error envelope:

from crawlsnap import (
    NotFoundError, RateLimitError, QuotaExceededError,
    AuthenticationError, CrawlSnapError,
)

try:
    res = crawlsnap.vector_snap.domain("example.com")
except NotFoundError:
    ...                              # 404 — no data for this indicator
except QuotaExceededError as e:
    print(e.message)                 # 402 — out of credits / monthly quota
except RateLimitError as e:
    print(e.retry_after)             # 429 — daily limit; seconds to wait
except AuthenticationError:
    ...                              # 401 — missing / invalid key
except CrawlSnapError as e:          # base class for every SDK error
    print(e)

HTTP	Exception	Notes
400	BadRequestError	invalid indicator
401	AuthenticationError	missing / invalid key
402	QuotaExceededError	out of credits or monthly quota
403	SubscriptionInactiveError	subscription not active
404	NotFoundError	no data for the indicator
429	RateLimitError	daily limit; .retry_after (seconds)
5xx	ServerError	server / upstream failure
—	APIConnectionError / APITimeoutError	network failure / client timeout

Every status error carries .status_code, .message, and .request_id (share the request id with support to speed up debugging).

Pagination

subdo_snap is paginated. Stream every subdomain across all pages — the cursor is handled for you:

for subdomain in crawlsnap.subdo_snap.scan_iter("example.com"):
    print(subdomain)

Or page manually:

page = crawlsnap.subdo_snap.scan("example.com")
while page.cursor:
    page = crawlsnap.subdo_snap.scan("example.com", cursor=page.cursor)

Configuration

The singleton is a thin layer over the CrawlSnap client. For multiple keys, multiple environments, or thread isolation, instantiate it directly:

from crawlsnap import CrawlSnap

client = CrawlSnap(
    api_key="sk-cs-...",
    timeout=30.0,
    max_retries=3,
    base_url="https://api.crawlsnap.com",
)
ip = client.vector_snap.ip("1.1.1.1")
client.close()

Option	Default	Description
api_key	$CRAWLSNAP_API_KEY	Your sk-cs- key
base_url	$CRAWLSNAP_BASE_URL or https://api.crawlsnap.com	API host override
timeout	30.0	Per-request timeout (seconds)
max_retries	2	Retries for 429 / 5xx / connection errors

Retries use exponential backoff and honor the Retry-After header on 429.

Raw response

Pass raw_response=True to get the full envelope (status, headers, request id) instead of just the data:

raw = crawlsnap.vector_snap.ip("8.8.8.8", raw_response=True)
print(raw.status_code, raw.request_id, raw.is_success, raw.data)

Development

The typed models under crawlsnap/models/ are generated from the public OpenAPI contract; the client facade is hand-written. To refresh the models after the contract changes:

./scripts/regenerate.sh        # re-bundles the contract and regenerates models/

Run the tests:

pip install -e ".[dev]"
pytest
