New Python Packaging Proposal Aims to Solve Phantom Dependency Problem with SBOMs
PEP 770 proposes adding SBOM support to Python packages to improve transparency and catch hidden non-Python dependencies that security tools often miss.
@socketsecurity/sdk
Advanced tools
SDK for the Socket API client, generated by api
.
npm install @socketsecurity/sdk
import { SocketSdk } from '@socketsecurity/sdk'
const client = new SocketSdk('yourApiKeyHere')
const res = await client.getQuota()
if (res.success) {
// Will output { quota: 123 } if the quota you have left is 123
console.log(res.data)
}
const { SocketSdk } = require('@socketsecurity/sdk')
getIssuesByNPMPackage(packageName, version)
packageName
: A string
representing the name of the npm package you want the issues forversion
: A string
representing the version of the npm package to return the issues forgetScoreByNPMPackage(packageName, version)
packageName
: A string
representing the name of the npm package you want the score forversion

filePaths
: An array
of absolute or relative string
paths to package.json
and any corresponding package-lock.json
filespathsRelativeTo
: A string
path that the absolute paths filePaths
are relative to. This to calculate where in your project the package.json

files livesissueRules
: An object that follows the format of the socket.yml
issue rules. Keys being issue names, values being a boolean that activates or deactivates it. Is applied on top of default config and organization config.getReportList()

representing the id of a created reportgetQuota()
createUserAgentFromPkgJson(pkgJson)
pkgJson
: The content of the package.json
you want to create a User-Agent
string forThe SocketSdk
constructor accepts an options
object as its second argument and there a userAgent
key with a string value can be specified. If specified then that user agent will be prepended to the SDK user agent. See this example:
const client = new SocketSdk('yourApiKeyHere', {
userAgent: 'example/1.2.3 (http://example.com/)'
})
Which results in the HTTP User-Agent
header:
User-Agent: example/1.2.3 (http://example.com/) socketsecurity-sdk/0.5.2 (https://github.com/SocketDev/socket-sdk-js)
To easily create a user agent for your code you can use the additional export createUserAgentFromPkgJson()
like this, assuming pkgJson
contains your parsed package.json
:
const client = new SocketSdk('yourApiKeyHere', {
userAgent: createUserAgentFromPkgJson(pkgJson)
})
Specifying a custom user agent is good practice when shipping a piece of code that others can use to make requests. Eg. our CLI uses this option to identify requests coming from it + mentioning which version of it that is used.
