Shodan API Example This code example shows how to use the Shodan API to search for information on the Internet. The Shodan API provides access to a search engine that can be used to find devices and services on the Internet.

Requirements To use this code, you need to have:

A Shodan API key. You can sign up for a free account on the Shodan website.

The requests library installed. You can install it using pip with the following command:

Copy code pip install requests Usage To use the code, follow these steps:

Replace YOUR_SHODAN_API_KEY with your actual Shodan API key.

Change the query variable to the search query you want to make. The search query should be a string that describes what you are looking for. For example, to search for open webcams, you can set the query variable to "webcam".

Run the code. The code will make a GET request to the Shodan API and retrieve the results of the search query. The results will be printed to the console.

Example Here's an example of how you can use the code to search for open webcams:

python Copy code import requests

api_key = "YOUR_SHODAN_API_KEY"

endpoint = "https://api.shodan.io/shodan/host/search"

query = "webcam"

response = requests.get(endpoint, params={"key": api_key, "query": query})

if response.status_code == 200: # Get the results from the API response results = response.json()["matches"] # Print the number of results print(f"Number of results: {len(results)}") # Print information about the first result first_result = results[0] print("Information about the first result:") print(f"IP address: {first_result['ip_str']}") print(f"Port: {first_result['port']}") print(f"Organization: {first_result['org']}") print(f"Location: {first_result['location']}") else: # If the API request was not successful, print an error message print("Error accessing the API") In this example, the code searches for open webcams on the Internet and retrieves information about the results. The information includes the IP address, port, organization, and location of the devices that have open webcams.
