Python Client for Container Analysis API

Container Analysis API: is a service that provides vulnerability scanning and metadata storage for software artifacts. The service performs vulnerability scans on built software artifacts, such as the images in Container Registry, then stores the resulting metadata and makes it available for consumption through an API. The metadata may come from several sources, including vulnerability scanning, other Cloud services, and third-party providers.

Quick Start

In order to use this library, you first need to go through the following steps:

1. Select or create a Cloud Platform project.
2. Enable billing for your project.
3. Enable the Container Analysis API.
4. Setup Authentication.

Installation

Install this library in a virtualenv using pip. virtualenv is a tool to create isolated Python environments. The basic problem it addresses is one of dependencies and versions, and indirectly permissions.

With virtualenv, it's possible to install this library without needing system install permissions, and without clashing with the installed system dependencies.
