Scriptable green pass verifier

Green Pass Verifier

Scriptable green pass verifier. With this application you can automatize accesses based on green pass validity. It can also be used to analyze your digital certification (e.g. to print which key was used to sign the certificate, --verbose).

It is compatibile with EU certificates (DGC) and UK certificate (NHS).

Installation

You need to have pip and libzbar to install the application.

You can install it using your favorite package manager, for instance in Ubuntu:

sudo apt install python3-pip libzbar0

You can just install the application using pip:

pip install greenpass

If you want to install it from sources, install the python3 requirements using the following command:

pip3 install -r requirements.txt

Usage

You can feed the application with different file formats, for instance:

Green pass official PDFs

greenpass --pdf greenpass.pdf

QRCode images in PNG

greenpass --qr greenpass.png

Txt files with the content of the qrcode

greenpass --txt greenpass.txt

Standard input and pipes

zbarimg --raw greenpass.png | greenpass --txt -

On a side note, you can verify camera-acquired images if your scanner prints the raw content of the QRcode on stdout

zbarcam --raw -q1 | greenpass --txt -

The application returns an UNIX compatible code, therefore you can concatenate commands that will be executed only if the green pass is verified.

greenpass --qr greenpass.png && echo "green pass ok"

You can also get the expiration configuration using --settings without other inputs.

greenpass --settings
