This is a python module for the MiTrend performance analysis tool that submits assessments on behalf of an authenticated user. It exposes the REST API made publicly available by MiTrend.
See a live demo via a Web2Py app: https://mitrend.cfapps.io
Currently only a standard web interface is provided by MiTrend, and an API that takes well formed JSON requests. The problem with the API is that it requires multiple steps to submit a request. Specifically using the REST API, a program would have to send a request to create an assessment, then send a subsequent request to add files. Finally, a program would have to send a request to submit the assessment for analysis. The problem is that for Python code, having to submit multiple REST API requests without a library is cumbersome. This module wrapps the JSON API in an easy to use pyton module. The following use cases are supported by this module.
- Automation is desired and a Python tool chain is required, hence this module makes it easy to include MiTrend functionality.
- A microservice is being prepared to handle MiTrend assessment requests, so this module can easily fit in with a Web app such as Flask.
To install just clone from git and run the setup.py script:
sudo python setup.py install
Note that python requests is required for this module to function:
sudo pip install requests
The module provides a main method that can be used for testing and illustrated how the module should be used:
M = Mitrend(username='', password='',
company='',
assessment_name='',
city='',
country='',
state='',
timezone='',
tags=['', ''],
attributes={'source':'mitrend-python'},
device_type='',
files=[''] )
M.create_submission()
M.add_files()
M.submit()
Please refer to the official MiTrend API specification for what's possible in these fields.
