Python bindings for accessing OSIDB API
Requires Python: >=3.6

# OSIDB Bindings

A Pythonic way to talk to OSIDB without getting lost in HTTP details.

## Requirements

- gcc
- krb5-devel
- pip
- python3
- python3-devel

## Installation

Install the bindings using pip (recommended within a [virtual environment](https://docs.python.org/3/library/venv.html)):

```bash
pip install osidb-bindings
```

## Quick Start

### Basic Authentication
```python
import osidb_bindings

# For local OSIDB instances with username/password authentication
session = osidb_bindings.new_session(
    osidb_server_uri="http://localhost:8000/",
    username="your_username",
    password="your_password"
)
```

### Kerberos Authentication
```python
# For production/staging instances with Kerberos authentication (default)
session = osidb_bindings.new_session(osidb_server_uri="https://your-osidb-instance.com/")
```

### Basic Operations

```python
# Check connection status
status = session.status()

# Retrieve a specific flaw
flaw = session.flaws.retrieve(id="CVE-1111-2222")

# Access flaw attributes
print(flaw.title)
print(flaw.impact)

# Convert to dictionary for easier manipulation
flaw_dict = flaw.to_dict()
print(flaw_dict["title"])
print(flaw_dict["impact"])

# Retrieve multiple flaws with filtering
critical_flaws = session.flaws.retrieve_list(impact="CRITICAL")
recent_flaws = session.flaws.retrieve_list(changed_after="2023-01-01")

# Access paginated results
print(f"Total flaws found: {critical_flaws.count}")
for flaw in critical_flaws.results:
    print(f"CVE: {flaw.cve_id}, Impact: {flaw.impact}")
```

### API Version Control

```python
# Use latest API version (default behavior)
flaw = session.flaws.retrieve(id="CVE-1111-2222")

# Specify a particular API version for stability
flaw = session.flaws.retrieve(id="CVE-1111-2222", api_version="v1")

# Discover available API versions
print(session.endpoints)
```
