Python Team Awareness Kit (PyTAK)
PyTAK is a Python library and command-line TAK client for building small, usable TAK clients, servers, and gateways. It can be embedded in another application or used directly to send and receive Cursor on Target (CoT) data on TAK networks.
Install
python3 -m pip install pytak
Command-line example
Connect with a TAK onboarding URL directly from the CLI:
pytak "tak://com.atakmap.app/enroll?host=takserver.example.com&username=myuser&token=mytoken"
Generate onboarding data packages (PKCS#12, PEM, ATAK + iTAK ZIPs) without connecting:
pytak dp 'tak://com.atakmap.app/enroll?host=takserver.example.com&username=myuser&token=mytoken'
See Onboarding data packages in the docs.
Quick example
import asyncio, xml.etree.ElementTree as ET
from configparser import ConfigParser
import pytak
class MySender(pytak.QueueWorker):
async def handle_data(self, data):
await self.put_queue(data)
async def run(self):
while True:
root = ET.Element("event", version="2.0", type="t-x-d-d",
uid="myMarker", how="m-g",
time=pytak.cot_time(), start=pytak.cot_time(),
stale=pytak.cot_time(3600))
await self.handle_data(ET.tostring(root))
await asyncio.sleep(20)
async def main():
config = ConfigParser()
config["mytool"] = {"COT_URL": "tcp://takserver.example.com:8087"}
config = config["mytool"]
clitool = pytak.CLITool(config)
await clitool.setup()
clitool.add_tasks(set([MySender(clitool.tx_queue, config)]))
await clitool.run()
asyncio.run(main())
Features
- TAK Protocol support: XML (TAK Protocol v0) and Protobuf (TAK Protocol v1, via
takproto) - Multiple transports: TCP, TLS, UDP unicast, UDP multicast (Mesh SA), UDP broadcast, file, stdout, WebSockets
- TLS client auth: PEM certs, PKCS#12 (
.p12), password-protected keys - TAK enrollment: automatic certificate enrollment from a
tak://onboarding URL;pytak dpexports ATAK/iTAK connection packages - Marti REST API: send/receive CoT via TAK Server's HTTP API (
marti://URL scheme) - TAK Data Packages: import
.zippref packages containing server connection settings and certs - No required external deps: pure-Python asyncio core; optional extras for TLS enrollment and Protobuf
