Reports API

An API to query the different reports received as well as to do basic queries of the data itself. This is meant as an optional replacement to the emails received with the report URL’s. In all cases the queries and the data that is delivered is only from the reports that you would have normally received. You only get the data on the networks you are responsible for. You will not be able to get data on other networks or systems. Note refer to the API: Documentation pages for testing details and examples.

Modules

• reports/subscribed – List of reports that the user is subscribed to
• reports/types – List of all the types of reports that are available for the subscriber
• reports/list – List of actual reports that could be downloaded
• reports/download – Download specific report
• reports/query – Query the stored data
• reports/stats – Output stats
• reports/device-info – Obtain device details for a given IP

reports/query

Fields:

apikey : string     : Your API key 
query  : dictionary : Search fields [any of the available fields from the reports].
sort   : string     : Ascending | descending 
date   : string     : Date (YYYY-MM-DD) or range (YYYY-MM-DD:YYYY-MM-DD) now may be used in place of a date 
facet  : string     : Returns the cardinality of each value of the given field sorted from highest to lowest
limit  : number     : Specify the number of records to pull
page   : number     : Default is 1; used to obtain additional pages of results

The query must contain one attribute that matches your organization’s report filters.

Examples:

• The Swiss CERT (GovCERT.ch) receives reports for all events for the country code ‘CH’. In order for their query to be valid it must contain a matching attribute of "geo": "CH".
• Cisco Systems receives reports filtered by ASN (109) and by domain name (com.cisco.). In order for their query to be valid it must contain "asn": 109 and/or "domain": "*.cisco.com".
• Universität Konstanz receives reports filtered by IP (134.34.0.0/16). In order for their query to be valid it must contain an IP that matches their CIDR block "ip": "134.34.0.1" or the CIDR block "ip": "134.34.0.0/16".

reports/stats

An API option to allow looking through the history of the statistics of the different reports. Note that if the consumer is subscribed to more than one filter or report set, you will need to specify a filter using the report filter for that report set of statistics.

Fields:

apikey : string           : your api key

Optional Fields:

date   : string         : date or date range; default is the previous date
report : string or list : filter by report name
type   : string or list : filter by report type

Help

freed0@pit:~$ ./call-api.py reports/stats '{"help":true}' pretty
[
    "date",
    "report",
    "type"
]

Returns

The date, type, and number of events for each report type as a two dimensional array.

Example:

freed0@pit:~$ ./call-api.py reports/stats '{"report":"united-states","type":"scan-exchange", "date":"2021-04-24:2021-04-26"}' pretty
[
    [

    [
        "2021-04-26",
        "scan-exchange",
        2030
    ]
]

    ],
    [
        "2021-04-26",
        "scan-exchange",
        2030
    ]
]

reports/device-info

Provides device details for a given IP.

Fields:

• apikey : string : your api key
• query : dictionary : search fields [ ip, asn, geo ]

The query must contain one attribute that matches your organization’s report filters.

For example the CERT-LT who has a report filter for the country code ‘LT’ might request:

 "query": { "ip": "92.62.137.155", "geo", "LT" }

Response:

{
   "device_type" : "router",
   "device_sector" : "consumer",
   "device_vendor" : "TP-Link"
}

CHANGELOG

• 2021-07-28 – Removed alternative example from reports/download since that feature was removed once reports/query was added.
• 2021-04-25 – Added stats method.
