Authenticate to the API

The Gremlin API requires a form of authentication, either API Key or Bearer Token. API Keys are the least privileged form of authentication, are easy to manage and change, but do not allow for company wide actions see https://www.gremlin.com/docs/api-reference/overview/ for a list of which API endpoints support API Keys vs. Bearer Tokens.

A bearer token may be provided to the API instead of an API Key, and this allow the owner of the bearer token to use an escalated set of permissions and actions, pending the user has those roles in the RBAC schema. Because bearer tokens are short lived, the user may chose to use the login function instead of directly providing a bearer token. The downside to this is that user credentials are directly exposed, and may end up in logs. When using the login function, the Gremlin API will return a bearer token which will be used on the users behalf to execute API actions.

API User Keys

from gremlinapi.config import GremlinAPIConfig as config
config.api_key = 'Key MU3...ZiTk...Lo...4zO..c='

User Provided Bearer Token

from gremlinapi.config import GremlinAPIConfig as config
config.bearer_token = 'Bearer MU3...ZiTk...Lo...4zO..c='

User Login

import gremlinapi
gremlinapi.login(
    email='[e-mail]',
    password='looksL1keIshouldCh4ng3th1sagain!',
    company_name="Gremlin Inc."
)

User Login with MFA

import gremlinapi
gremlinapi.login(
    email='[e-mail]',
    password='looksL1keIshouldCh4ng3th1sagain!',
    company_name="Gremlin Inc.",
    token="8675309"
)

Team IDs

When using a Gremlin RBAC enabled account, you must specify the teamId to parameter for most requests. Additionally, you may supply this globally via the GremlinAPIConfig module:

from gremlinapi.config import GremlinAPIConfig as config
config.team_id = team_id

Proxy Support

This library supports system wide HTTP_PROXY and HTTPS_PROXY environment variables.

Additionally, proxy configuration may be directly configured inside the library, or the use of GREMLIN_HTTP_PROXY and GREMLIN_HTTPS_PROXY can be utilized to isolate the communication stream.

Direct Proxy Configuration

from gremlinapi.config import GremlinAPIConfig as config
config.http_proxy = 'http://user:pass@myproxy:port'
config.https_proxy = 'https://user:pass@myproxy:port'

Examples

Launching Attacks

Example 1

This will launch a 100ms latency attack, limited to ICMP traffic, against a single random container with the ECS container-name swissknife

from gremlinapi.config import GremlinAPIConfig as config
from gremlinapi.attacks import GremlinAPIAttacks as attacks
config.bearer_token = 'Bearer MU....ziTk....40z...c='
config.team_id = 'e7352a6b-a9a0-513c-81e4-980f680a70c4'
