Irmacl-async: Asynchronous client library for IRMA API
======================================================

|docs|

IRMA is an asynchronous and customizable analysis system for suspicious files.
This repository is a subproject of IRMA and contains the source code for IRMA
API client.

Irmacl-async requires **python 3.6+** and an IRMA server with **API version 3**.
The exact expected version is defined in ``AAPI.IRMA_VERSION``.

Installation
------------

From the sources, clone the repository and run

.. code-block:: console

   $ pip install .

Or with pip just run

.. code-block:: console

  $ pip install irmacl-async


Configuration
`````````````

Irmacl-async configuration is done with a ``Config`` object that should be
given to ``AAPI`` at initialisation. The details of expected configuration is
available with ``help(Config)``. A ``Config`` object can be initialized from an
irma.yml file, which is a yaml file containing the parameters of a ``Config``
object. All parameters are optional.

.. code-block:: yaml

   api_endpoint: "https://172.16.1.30/api/v3"
   verify: true
   ca: /etc/irma/ca.crt
   cert: /etc/irma/client.crt
   key: /etc/irma/client.key
   submitter: kiosk
   submitter_id: kiosk-D205

irma.yml is searched in these locations in following order:

* environment variable *IRMA_CONF*
* current directory
* user home directory
* global directory  */etc/irma*

Once you set up a working irma.yml settings file, you could run tests on your
running IRMA server:

.. code-block:: console

   $ python setup.py test


Usage
-----

Irmacl-async is an asynchronous library. It is meant to ease the development of
python code that communicates with an IRMA server.

Hello world
```````````

.. code-block:: pycon

   >>> import asyncio
   >>> from irmacl_async import AAPI
   >>>
   >>> async def main():
   ...     async with AAPI() as api:
   ...         resp = await api.about()
   ...         print(resp['version'])
   ...
   >>> loop = asyncio.get_event_loop()
   >>> loop.run_until_complete(main())
   v2.2.3-20-g06a29b45

The ``main`` coroutine just prints the version of the IRMA server counterpart.
There is few things to notice in this example.

First, an async context pattern must be opened to create a session and perform
requests. Moreover, AAPI will check the version of IRMA and prints a warning if
it mismatches the expected one (``apicheck=False`` to prevent this behavior).
Irmacl-async uses ``aiohttp.ClientSession`` in backend, you can set
``AAPI().session`` manually at your own risks but it is not recommenced.

Second, ``api.about`` does not return a result but a ``Future`` that needs to
be awaited before being able to get its result.

Finally, the ``main`` coroutine cannot just be called as a regular function but
needs to be awaited from another coroutine or run into an event loop.


Basic usage
```````````

.. code-block:: pycon

   >>> import asyncio
   >>> from pathlib import Path
   >>> from irmacl_async import AAPI
   >>>
   >>> async def scandir(directory):
   ...     files = (p for p in directory.iterdir() if p.is_file())
   ...     async with AAPI() as api:
   ...         scan = await api.scans.scan(files, linger=True)
   ...         res = await AAPI.fetchall(api.scans.results, scan=scan)
   ...         files = [api.files.get(fe.file) for fe in res]
   ...         return await asyncio.gather(*files)
   ...
   >>> loop = asyncio.get_event_loop()
   >>> d = Path("irmacl_async/tests/functionals/samples")
   >>> loop.run_until_complete(scandir(d))
   [FileExt.d13ab478-b24e-43a2-a51a-38c10355e929, ...]

The ``scandir`` coroutine is a bit more complex and benefits from the
asynchronicity of the irmacl-async library. It scans the contents of a
directory and wait for the result (``linger=True``). Then, it queries all
results of the scan. ``api.scans.results`` returns a page of result, so, use it
with the ``fetchall`` helper to get all pages at once.  Then, for each result
it queries information about the file itself. Instead of a ``for`` loop, that
would query the files one at a time, it uses ``asyncio.gather``.  Finally it
waits for every request to be complete and returns the results.

AAPI

Every method is -or at least should be- fully documented, use ``help(AAPI)`` or
``help(AAPI().files)`` to get a exhaustive list of every available method and
their parameters.

Objects
```````

irmacl_async makes a heavy use of `irma-shared`_ to handle deserialisation and
objects construction.
