OWASP Dependency Track Python API client

This is a generated library based on the official OWASP Dependency Track OpenAPI spec using openapi-python-client including some sanity patches.

Usage

pip install owasp-dependency-track-client

Create the client

from owasp_dt import Client

client = Client(
    base_url="http://localhost:8080/api",
    # base_url="http://localhost:8080/api/v2",  # For v2 API
    headers={
        "X-Api-Key": "YOUR API KEY"
    },
    verify_ssl=False,
)

Call endpoints:

from owasp_dt.api.project import get_projects

projects = get_projects.sync(client=client)
assert len(projects) > 0

Development

Update the library

1. Install the requirements: pip install -e ".[test] or uv sync --extra test
2. Start an OWASP DT instance locally (see Start the test environment): https://docs.dependencytrack.org/getting-started/deploy-docker/
3. Run regenerate-api-client.sh
4. Check if bugs are still in effect
   • openapi-generators/openapi-python-client#1256
   • DependencyTrack/dependency-track#2590
5. Publish this library with the API version tag

Start the test environment

cd test
podman|docker compose up

• Preconfigured user: admin:admin2
• Preconfigured API key: see test/test.env

Clean database init

• Prepare test/docker-compose.yml

init-keys:
  volumes:
    # Comment out init dir
    # - './init:/init:ro'

apiserver:
  environment:
    # Comment in proxy env variables
    HTTP_PROXY: "http://localhost"
    HTTPS_PROXY: "http://localhost"

postgres:
  volumes:
    # Comment out init.sql
    # - "./init/init.sql:/docker-entrypoint-initdb.d/init.sql"

• Delete the volumes first

  podman volume rm test_postgres-data
  podman volume rm test_apiserver-data

• Start the stack

• Perform login and change password to admin2

• Create an Administrators API key and update test/test.env

• Dump the data

  podman exec test_postgres_1 bash -c "pg_dump -U \$POSTGRES_USER -d \$POSTGRES_DB > /tmp/init.sql"
  podman cp test_postgres_1:/tmp/init.sql "$(pwd)/test/init/init.sql"

• Remove all data from tables

  • dex_workflow_run
  • dex_workflow_history*

• Save the KEK key

  podman cp test_apiserver_1:/data/.dependency-track/keys/secret-management-kek.json "$(pwd)/test/init/secret-management-kek.json"

• Revert changes in test/docker-compose.yml

• Restart the stack
