A modern, modular, and complete Python SDK for the Darktrace API

Project description

🚀 Darktrace Python SDK

PyPI - Python Version GitHub License GitHub Repo stars

A modern, Pythonic SDK for the Darktrace Threat Visualizer API.


🆕 Latest Updates (v0.8.1)

  • Enhanced IDE Integration: Added full IntelliSense support with type hints and parameter documentation
  • Modern Python Packaging: Added pyproject.toml and py.typed marker for better tooling support
  • Improved Type Annotations: Enhanced constructor documentation with detailed parameter descriptions
  • Critical Authentication Fix: Fixed parameter order mismatch between signature calculation and request URLs
  • Consistent Parameter Ordering: Ensured parameters are sorted alphabetically in both signature calculation and requests
  • Improved BaseEndpoint Class: Updated to handle parameter sorting consistently across all API calls
  • Fixed AI Analyst Module: Updated authentication handling in the analyst module
  • Enhanced Examples: Added comprehensive examples for Intel Feed module

✨ Features

  • Extensive API Coverage: Most endpoints, parameters, and actions from the official Darktrace API Guide are implemented.
  • Modular & Maintainable: Each endpoint group is a separate Python module/class.
  • Easy Authentication: Secure HMAC-SHA1 signature generation and token management.
  • Async-Ready: Designed for easy extension to async workflows.
  • Type Hints & Docstrings: Full typing and documentation for all public methods.
  • Comprehensive Documentation: Detailed documentation for every module and endpoint.

📦 Installation

pip install darktrace-sdk

After installation, you'll import it in Python as darktrace:

from darktrace import DarktraceClient

Or clone this repository:

git clone https://github.com/yourusername/darktrace.git
cd darktrace
pip install .

🚦 Quick Start

from darktrace import DarktraceClient

# Initialize the client
client = DarktraceClient(
    host="https://your-darktrace-instance",
    public_token="YOUR_PUBLIC_TOKEN",
    private_token="YOUR_PRIVATE_TOKEN"
)

# Access endpoint groups
devices = client.devices
all_devices = devices.get()

antigena = client.antigena
actions = antigena.get_actions()

print(all_devices)
print(actions)

📚 Documentation

Comprehensive documentation is available in the docs directory:

And many more modules covering every aspect of the Darktrace API.

See the EXAMPLES.md file for additional usage examples.


🛡️ Endpoint Coverage

This SDK aims to cover all endpoints in the Darktrace API Guide, including:

  • /advancedsearch (search, analyze, graph)
  • /aianalyst (incidentevents, groups, acknowledge, pin, comments, stats, investigations, incidents)
  • /antigena (actions, manual, summary)
  • /components, /cves, /details, /deviceinfo, /devices, /devicesearch, /devicesummary
  • /endpointdetails, /enums, /filtertypes, /intelfeed, /mbcomments, /metricdata, /metrics, /models, /modelbreaches, /network, /pcaps, /similardevices, /status, /subnets, /summarystatistics, /tags, and all /agemail endpoints

If you find a missing endpoint, open an issue or PR and it will be added!


⚠️ Known Issues

Advanced Search POST Requests

POST requests to the Advanced Search API (/advancedsearch/api/search) are currently not working due to unresolved authentication signature calculation issues. The Darktrace API documentation specifies that POST parameters should be included in the signature calculation as query string parameters, but multiple implementation attempts following the official documentation have resulted in "API SIGNATURE ERROR" responses.

Workaround: Use GET requests for Advanced Search queries, which work correctly and support all the same functionality. The SDK automatically defaults to GET requests for the Advanced Search module.

Status: Tracked as issue #1. GET requests remain fully functional for all use cases.

/devicesummary Endpoint Returns HTTP 500

The /devicesummary endpoint may return a 500 Internal Server Error when accessed with API tokens, even though it works in the browser or with session/cookie authentication. This is a known limitation of the Darktrace API backend and not a bug in the SDK or your code.

Workaround: There is currently no programmatic workaround. If you require this endpoint, please contact Darktrace support or use browser-based access where possible.

Status: Tracked as issue #37. If you encounter this, please reference the issue for updates.
