umbr_api is Cisco Umbrella APIs wrapper and a command-line utility.
Cisco Umbrella <https://umbrella.cisco.com/>__ uses the internet’s
DNS infrastructure to block malicious destinations before a connection is
ever established. By delivering security from the cloud, it also provide
more effective security and easy deployment options.
umbr_api supports Enforcement API, Reporting API, and Management API with some limitations. With help of umbr_api you can add new sites and URLs to black lists, remove or show current entries, quickly check the latest security events, or check a status of registered computers or networks.
Using of command line tools, like umbr_api can immediately provide information to administrators of the system without myriads of clicks through GUI interfaces, two-factor authentications, etc.

Was created mostly for educational purposes.
To install from a local folder execute at the ‘umbr_api’ root directory:
.. code:: bash
pip3 install -e . --no-use-pep517
To install extra requirements from a local folder execute at the ‘umbr_api’ root directory:
.. code:: bash
pip3 install -e .[dev] --no-use-pep517
pip3 install -e .[doc] --no-use-pep517
pip3 install -e .[dev_lint] --no-use-pep517
To install from production The Python Package Index (PyPI) https://pypi.org execute:
.. code:: bash
pip3 install umbr_api
To install from GitHub:
.. code:: bash
pip3 install git+https://github.com/kolatz/umbr_api.git
To install from a local archive:
.. code:: bash
pip3 install filename.tar.gz
Please note, that you still need to register and activate API key from Cisco to enable functionality.
main() in umbrella.py will be registered as umbrella executable.
So, you can run it directly.
Examples (Enforcement API):
.. code-block:: bash
umbrella add www.example.com http://www.example.com/images
umbrella add example.com example.com --force
umbrella del www.example.com
umbrella del 555XXXXX --key YOUR-CUSTOMER-KEY-IS-HERE-0123456789
umbrella get 100
umbrella get --key YOUR-CUSTOMER-KEY-IS-HERE-0123456789
You need to import particular functions or modules from umbr_api. For example:
.. code-block:: python
from umbr_api import get
get.get_list(key='YOUR-CUSTOMER-KEY-IS-HERE-0123456789')
from umbr_api.add import add
add(domain='example.com', url='example.com', key='YOUR-CUSTOMER-KEY-IS-HERE-0123456789')
There three main functions:
- umbr_api.get.get_list
- umbr_api.add.add
- umbr_api.remove.remove
The API key should be specified via CLI, or it could be read it from
enforcement.json within package data\ folder.
How to obtain API key ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
You can sign up for 14 day free trial here: https://signup.umbrella.com/
How to use API key ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
#. Provide it as an argument for command-line utility
.. code:: bash
umbrella del www.example.com --key YOUR-CUSTOMER-KEY-IS-HERE-0123456789
#. Provide it as part of a program call
.. code-block:: python
from umbr_api.get import get_list
response = get_list(key='YOUR-CUSTOMER-KEY-IS-HERE-0123456789')
#. Create data/enforcement.json file in umbr_api package directory.
This is an unsecured and unsupported way because of storing key in clear text
format. To find package directory:
.. code-block:: python
import os
import umbr_api
print(os.path.abspath(umbr_api.__file__))
#. API key can be read from a keyring for command-line execution. To save API key you can use:
.. code-block:: bash
umbrella keyring --add YOUR-CUSTOMER-KEY-IS-HERE-0123456789
umbrella keyring --show
.. note::
- Only macOS platform is tested for keyrings
- By default all python apps can read the values of the keys from a keyring
- umbrella will try to use --key firstly, then keychain, and finally data/enforcement.json file within umbr_api package directory.
Enforcement API ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ #. Add (POST) #. Get (GET) #. Remove (DELETE)
Management API ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ #. Networks (GET) #. Roaming Computers (GET) #. Internal Networks (GET) #. Virtual Appliances (GET) #. Sites (GET) #. Users (GET) #. Roles (GET)
Reporting API ^^^^^^^^^^^^^ #. Security Activity Report (GET) #. Destinations: Top Identities (GET) #. Destinations: Most recent requests (GET)
#. Lack of documentation #. You heed to have an active subscription or evaluation #. Asserts will be removed with compiling to optimized byte code. This caused various protections to be removed. #. Other methods for change or delete entities are not supported and no plans to do that
Error while accessing macOS keyring ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Python's binaries may not be signed and they will fail to get an access to macOS keyring. You should resign them manually to fix it. Error message::
keyring.backends._OS_X_API.SecAuthFailure: (-25293, 'Security Auth Failure: make sure python is signed with codesign util')
.. code-block:: bash
$ codesign -v `which python`
/Users/user/.virtualenvs/builings/bin/python: invalid Info.plist (plist or signature have been modified)
In architecture: x86_64
$ codesign -f -s - `which python`
/Users/user/.virtualenvs/builings/bin/python: replacing existing signature
