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 (v0.8.3)

  • 🎉 FIXED: Advanced Search POST Requests: Resolved GitHub Issue #1 - Advanced Search POST requests now work correctly
  • JSON Formatting Fix: Fixed API signature errors caused by inconsistent JSON formatting between signature generation and HTTP body
  • Enhanced POST Support: All POST endpoints now use standardized JSON serialization for consistent authentication
  • Darktrace 6.1+ Compatibility: Full support for POST-based Advanced Search queries in Darktrace 6.1 and later
  • Comprehensive Testing: Added extensive test coverage for Advanced Search POST functionality

✨ 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()

# Use Advanced Search with POST requests (Darktrace 6.1+)
advanced_search = client.advanced_search
query = {
    "search": "@type:\"ssl\" AND @fields.dest_port:\"443\"",
    "fields": [],
    "offset": 0,
    "timeframe": "3600"  # 1 hour
}
results = advanced_search.search(query=query, post_request=True)

print(all_devices)
print(actions)
print(results)

📚 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

/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.
