So I've been learning python for a little bit now and I thought I would test out some cool ideas I had for an API search.
To explain what I want to do with this idea, I'm:
- Trying to connect to the API and search for something. e.g. iPhone
- I'm then grabbing all of the data and trying to Pretty it so that my search function can do a link by link search.
- Then I'm doing a string search line by line and if that string is in that line I find what's between the two different strings. e.g "iPhone" and ":"
- I'm then printing the lines to my websites page.
I've been trying to get my head around this but it's a lot harder then it seams. If someone knows what I'm doing wrong or knows of a different way for me to do this I would be more the grateful for your help.
Python code:
@app.route("/api", methods=['GET','POST'])
def APIlookup(myfile, sort=True, indents=4):
global myfile
if request.method == "POST":
link = ""https://api.shodan.io/shodan/host/search?..."
f = urllib.urlopen(link)
myfile = f.read()
text_file = open(os.path.join(app.root_path, "data/Write_it.txt"), "w")
text_file.write((json.dumps(json.loads(myfile), sort_keys=sort, indent=indents)))
test = (json.dumps(json.loads(myfile), sort_keys=sort, indent=indents))
text_file.close()
with open(os.path.join(app.root_path, "data/Write_it.txt"), "r") as input_file:
for line in input_file:
if '"str":' in line:
version2 = line
s = line
start = '"str":"'
end = '"'
result = re.search('%s(.*)%s' % (start, end), s).group(1)
socket.setdefaulttimeout( 2 ) # timeout in seconds
url = 'http://'+ result
else:
fail = "Couldn't find any URLs\n"
return render_template("api.html", pressedSubmit="True", fail=fail)
else:
return render_template("api.html", pressedSubmit="True", url=url)
else:
return render_template("api.html")
I started this Topic because I'm completely lost at this point and I thought this might be helpful for someone else that's currently or in the future trying to do something like this.
