md-insights-client 0.1.0

OPSWAT MetaDefender InSights API client

md-insights-client-api

API client for MetaDefender InSights threat intelligence feeds.

Installation

The app has been tested on Python 3.

It's best to install the program into a Python virtual environment. The recommended way to install it is using pipx:

pipx install md-insights-client

It can also be installed using pip into a target virtualenv.

python3 -m pip install md-insights-client

Configuration

A configuration file must be populated with an API key and a list of feed names to retrieve.

A sample configuration file can be copied from config/dot.md-insights.yml and installed at $HOME/.md-insights.yml. Update the configuration file to make the following changes:

1. Set your API key.
2. Uncomment feed names for the MetaDefender InSights feeds you wish to access. Your API key must be provisioned with access to the selected feeds.

Don't forget to set a restrictive mode on the file (0600).

Usage

When installed, a command called md-insights-snapshot-client is available.

See -h/--help output for help.

When the command is called, the client script downloads feed snapshots from the API service. As the compressed snapshots are downloaded, they are decompressed and the feeds are written to disk.
