How to Use

Use this module by importing the class first, then calling the method you would like to use. It is initiazized with the url to the appscan api, followed by the username, password, featurekey, and ssl cert path (for more information on the feature key, please look at the appscan api docs, which give different options. The default is AppscanEnterpriseUser). Usage:

from pyappscan import create_engine
myClass = create_engine(
  'https://route-to-appscan-api.com:443/ase/api',
  username='user',
  password='pass',
  key='AppscanEnterpriseUser',
  verify='/var/www/mycerts/appscancert.crt'
)

# We can also use an API key to login
myClass = create_engine(
  'https://route-to-appscan-api.com:443/ase/api',
  apikey="ac6719683d871e173961ff",
  secretkey="secret-key",
