pyzscaler 0.2.2

A python SDK for Zscaler.

pyZscaler is an unofficial SDK for interacting with Zscaler APIs

pyZscaler aims to provide a uniform and easy-to-use interface for each of the Zscaler product APIs.

Attention!

This SDK is not affiliated with, nor supported by Zscaler in any way.

Caveats

• Not all features may be implemented.

• Implemented features may be buggy or incorrect.

• Bugs will be fixed in my own time.

Overview

With each Zscaler product having its own developer documentation and authentication methods, this SDK should simplify your ability to develop software that uses the Zscaler API.

This SDK leverages the very awesome RESTfly framework developed by Steve McGrath, which simplifies the development of building libraries to interact with RESTful APIs. A big thank you to Steve.

Features

• Simplified authentication with Zscaler APIs.

• Uniform interaction with all Zscaler APIs.

• Uses python-box to add dot notation access to json data structures.

• Zscaler API output automatically converted from CamelCase to Snake Case.

Products

• Zscaler Private Access (ZPA)

• Zscaler Internet Access (ZIA)

• Cloud Security Posture Management (CSPM) - (work in progress)

Installation

The most recent version can be installed from pypi as per below.

$ pip install pyzscaler

Usage

Before you can interact with any of the Zscaler APIs, you may need to generate API keys or retrieve tenancy information for each product that you are interfacing with. Once you have the requirements and you have installed pyZscaler, you’re ready to go.

Getting started with ZIA

For ZIA, you will need to provide params when instantiating the class or set the environment variables as per the table below:

ZIA Requirements

Param	ENV	Description
cloud	ZIA_CLOUD	The cloud that your ZIA tenant is provisioned on.
api_key	ZIA_API_KEY	The API key generated from your ZIA console.
username	ZIA_USERNAME	The username of your administrator user that will be used for API calls.
password	ZIA_PASSWORD	The password for the administrator user.

How to generate the API_KEY

How to determine the ZIA CLOUD

You can find the name of the cloud in the URL that admins use to log into the Zscaler service. E.g. if an organisation logs into admin.zscaler.net, then that organization’s cloud name is zscaler.net. You don’t need to supply the .net suffix with pyZscaler, so the CLOUD arg would simply be zscaler.

ZIA Cloud List

URL	CLOUD
admin.zscaler.net	zscaler
admin.zscalerone.net	zscalerone
admin.zscalertwo.net	zscalertwo
admin.zscalerthree.net	zscalerthree
admin.zscloud.net	zscloud
admin.zscalerbeta.net	zscalerbeta
admin.zscalergov.net	zscalergov

from pyzscaler import ZIA
zia = ZIA(api_key='API_KEY', cloud='CLOUD', username='USERNAME', password='PASSWORD')
for user in zia.users.list():
    pprint(user)

Getting started with ZPA

For ZPA, you will need to provide params when instantiating the class or set the environment variables as per the table below:

ZPA Requirements

Param	ENV	Description
client_id	ZPA_CLIENT_ID	The client ID that is associated with the client secret.
client_secret	ZPA_CLIENT_SECRET	The client secret that was generated for the client ID.
customer_id	ZPA_CUSTOMER_ID	The customer ID for the ZPA tenancy.

• How to generate the CLIENT_ID, CLIENT_SECRET and find the CUSTOMER_ID

from pyzscaler import ZPA
zpa = ZPA(client_id='CLIENT_ID', client_secret='CLIENT_SECRET', customer_id='CUSTOMER_ID')
for app_segment in zpa.app_segments.list():
    pprint(app_segment)
