postq-sdk
Official PostQ SDK for Python. Submit quantum-risk scans and read results from the PostQ API.
pip install postq-sdk
Quickstart
from postq import PostQ, Finding
pq = PostQ(api_key="pq_live_…") # or set POSTQ_API_KEY env var
# Submit a scan
result = pq.scans.submit(
type="url",
target="example.com",
risk_score=85,
risk_level="High",
findings=[
Finding(severity="high", title="RSA-2048 public key"),
],
)
print(result.url) # https://app.postq.dev/scans/...
# List recent scans
for scan in pq.scans.list(limit=10):
print(scan.target, scan.risk_level)
# Iterate every scan with automatic pagination
for scan in pq.scans.iter_all():
...
# Fetch a full scan record (HNDL, certificate, TLS, normalized findings)
detail = pq.scans.get(result.id)
print(detail.hndl.severity if detail.hndl else None,
detail.certificate.days_until_expiry if detail.certificate else None)
# Download the CycloneDX 1.6 CBOM for a scan
cbom = pq.scans.cbom(result.id) # parsed dict
# Or ask the API to perform and persist a real scan
tls = pq.scans.run_url(target="example.com")
aws = pq.scans.run_cloud(
provider="aws",
target="123456789012",
aws={"regions": ["us-east-1"]},
)
Assets and keys (0.3.0+)
# Browse your cryptographic inventory
assets = pq.assets.list(provider="aws", risk="HIGH", limit=50)
for a in assets.data:
print(a.name, a.algorithm, a.risk)
# Or stream every asset
for a in pq.assets.iter_all(environment="production"):
...
# Browse keys discovered by cloud scans
keys = pq.keys.list(algorithm="RSA", risk="High")
for k in keys.data:
print(k.provider, k.region, k.external_id, k.algorithm)
Hybrid signing and multicloud Vault
pq.vault.put_settings(
default_kek_provider="gcp-kms",
gcp={
"kekKeyName": "projects/acme/locations/global/keyRings/postq/cryptoKeys/vault-kek",
"keyRingName": "projects/acme/locations/us-east1/keyRings/postq-signing",
"protectionLevel": "HSM",
},
)
key = pq.hybrid_keys.create(
name="release-signing",
algorithm="mldsa65+ecdsa-p256",
kek_provider="gcp-kms",
key_provider="gcp-kms",
)
signature = pq.sign(key_id=key.id, payload="release manifest")
assert pq.verify(
public_key=key.public_key,
payload="release manifest",
signature=signature.signature,
).ok
Configuration
| Argument | Default | Notes |
|---|---|---|
api_key |
$POSTQ_API_KEY |
pq_live_… from your dashboard |
base_url |
https://api.postq.dev |
Override for staging or self-hosted |
timeout |
30.0 |
Per-request timeout in seconds |
max_retries |
3 |
Idempotent-request retries on 429/5xx |
POST operations are never automatically replayed because they can create keys, signatures, scans, policies, or Ledger entries.

except PostQAuthError:
print("bad API key")
except PostQRateLimitError:
print("slow down")
| Exception | When |
