A Python library for the Demisto API.

Version 2.x is compatible with Demisto server version 4.5 and later.

Note: You are viewing the demisto-py 2.x development branch. demisto-py 1.x is officially deprecated (maintenance-mode only) and can be obtained at: https://github.com/demisto/demisto-py/releases.

This section covers the steps you need to take to get the client configured.

Follow these instructions to generate your Demisto API Key.

1. In Demisto, navigate to Settings > API Keys.
2. Click the Generate Your Key button.

import demisto_client

# Also possible to set env variables: DEMISTO_API_KEY and DEMISTO_BASE_URL
api_key = 'YOUR_API_KEY'
host = 'https://YOUR_DEMISTO_HOST'

api_instance = demisto_client.configure(base_url=host, api_key=api_key)

import demisto_client.demisto_api
from demisto_client.demisto_api.rest import ApiException


api_key = 'YOUR_API_KEY'
host = 'https://YOUR_DEMISTO_HOST'

api_instance = demisto_client.configure(base_url=host, api_key=api_key, debug=False)
create_incident_request = demisto_client.demisto_api.CreateIncidentRequest()

create_incident_request.name = 'Sample Simulation Incident'
create_incident_request.type = 'Simulation'
create_incident_request.owner = 'Admin'

try:
    api_response = api_instance.create_incident(create_incident_request=create_incident_request)
    print(api_response)
except ApiException as e:
    print("Exception when calling DefaultApi->create_incident: %s\n" % e)

API Documentation based upon the Demisto Server Swagger API is available here

We build for both python 2 and 3. We recommend installing both development environments. You can use pyenv to manage multiple python versions (see: https://github.com/pyenv/pyenv). We use tox for managing environments and running unit tests.

Install tox:

pip install tox

List configured environments:

tox -l

Then setup dev virtual envs for both python 2 and 3 (will also install all necessary requirements):

tox --devenv venv2 --devenv py27
tox --devenv venv3 --devenv py37

Activate python 2 env by running:

. venv2/bin/activate

Switch to python 3 env by running:

. venv3/bin/activate

We use pytest to run unit tests. Inside a virtual env you can run unit test using:

python -m pytest -v

Additionally, our build uses tox to run on multiple envs. To use tox to run on all supported environments (py27, py36, py37), run:

tox -q  

To run on a specific environment, you can use:

tox -q -e py27

Library code was generated using the Demisto Server 4.5.0 Swagger definition. We use a script to generate the code and then modify as needed. If you would like to contribute don't modify the generated code directly, modify the script. To generate the code run (requires bash, sed and docker):

./gen-code.sh
