Container Security APIs

Container security APIs return data on containers, images, registries, and more in your subscription, as well as manage them.

After running:

from qualysdk.cs import *
You can use any of the endpoints currently supported:

Container Security Endpoints

API Call Description
list_containers Lists all containers in the subscription that match given kwargs.
get_container_details Returns detailed information about a single container instance.

List Containers API

list_containers returns a list of containers in the subscription that match the given kwargs. This method uses the /containers/list endpoint to fetch all containers in the subscription, overcoming the limit that the /containers endpoint has.

Parameter Possible Values Description Required
auth qualysdk.auth.BasicAuth Authentication object
page_count Union[int, 'all'] = 'all' Number of pages to pull
filter str Filter string using Qualys container security QQL
paginationQuery str Pagination query string. The SDK handles this argument automatically
limit int Number of records to return per page
from qualysdk import TokenAuth
from qualysdk.cs import list_containers

auth = TokenAuth(<username>, <password>, platform='qg1')
# Get 4 pages of running containers:
containers = list_containers(auth, page_count=4, filter='state:`RUNNING`')
>>>[Container(imageId=12345, ...), ...]

Get Container Details API

get_container_details returns detailed information about a single container instance, specified by the containerSha argument. For containers pulled with qualysdk, the containerSha is accessible via the Container.sha dataclass attribute.

Parameter Possible Values Description Required
auth qualysdk.auth.BasicAuth Authentication object
containerSha str Sha hash of a container
from qualysdk import TokenAuth
from qualysdk.cs import get_container_details, list_containers

auth = TokenAuth(<username>, <password>)
# Get a BaseList of containers:
containers = list_containers(auth, page_count=1)
# Get the details of the first container:
details = get_container_details(auth, containers[0].sha)
