arachnid-shield-sdk

An SDK for consuming the Arachnid Shield API.

Installation

pip install arachnid-shield-sdk

Usage

First, obtain login credentials by contacting Project Arachnid.

This client acts simply as a global resource that may live as long as your application. So you may use it in different ways.

Vanilla Python (Sync)

You may use the ArachnidShield client that has all the methods needed to consume the Arachnid Shield API.

from arachnid_shield_sdk import ArachnidShield

shield = ArachnidShield(username="", password="")
    
def process_media(contents):

    scanned_media = shield.scan_media_from_bytes(contents, "image/jpeg")
    if scanned_media.matches_known_image:
        print(f"harmful media found!: {scanned_media}")
    ... 


def main():
    
    with open("some-image.jpeg", "rb") as f:
        contents = f.read()
    
    process_media_for_user(contents)


if __name__ == '__main__':
    main()

Vanilla Python (Async)

In async environments, you may use the ArachnidShieldAsync client which has the exact same interface as the ArachnidShield client but where all the methods are awaitable coroutines.

import asyncio
from arachnid_shield_sdk import ArachnidShieldAsync as ArachnidShield

shield = ArachnidShield(username="", password="")

async def process_media(contents):

    scanned_media = await shield.scan_media_from_bytes(contents, "image/jpeg")
    if scanned_media.matches_known_image:
        print(f"harmful media found!: {scanned_media}")
    ... 


async def main():
    with open("some-image.jpeg", "rb") as f:
        contents = f.read()
    await process_media(contents)


if __name__ == '__main__':
    asyncio.get_event_loop().run_until_complete(main())
