Overview

Simple Python examples for working with the Genbounty API using API keys.

Setup Instructions

1. Create a Virtual Environment

# Create a new virtual environment
python3 -m venv venv

# Activate the virtual environment
# On macOS/Linux:
source venv/bin/activate

# On Windows:
venv\Scripts\activate

2. Install Dependencies

pip install requests

3. Create Your Script

Create a new Python file (e.g., api_example.py) and copy one of the examples below.

4. Run Your Script

python api_example.py

Basic Example

import os
import requests
import json

# Get API key and base URL from environment variables, with defaults
API_BASE = os.getenv('API_BASE', 'https://genbounty.com')
API_KEY = os.getenv('API_KEY', 'gb_live_your_api_key_here')

headers = {'Authorization': f'Bearer {API_KEY}'}

# Get submissions
response = requests.get(f'{API_BASE}/api/v2/submissions', headers=headers)
data = response.json()

# Print the full JSON response
print(json.dumps(data, indent=2))

You can set environment variables before running:

# On macOS/Linux:
export API_BASE="http://localhost:3000"
export API_KEY="gb_live_your_api_key_here"
python api_example.py

# On Windows:
set API_BASE=http://localhost:3000
set API_KEY=gb_live_your_api_key_here
python api_example.py

All-in-One Script (Auto-Setup)

This complete script automatically sets up the virtual environment, installs dependencies, and runs all endpoints. Just save it and run - no manual setup needed!

import os
import sys
import subprocess
import json

# ==========================================
# PART 1: AUTO-SETUP (Bootstrapper)
# ==========================================
# This section checks if the venv exists and is active. 
# If not, it creates it, installs 'requests', and restarts the script.

VENV_DIR = "venv"

def is_venv():
    """Check if running inside a virtual environment."""
    return (hasattr(sys, 'real_prefix') or
            (hasattr(sys, 'base_prefix') and sys.base_prefix != sys.prefix))

if not is_venv():
    print("--- Setting up environment ---")
    
    # 1. Create venv if missing
    if not os.path.exists(VENV_DIR):
        print(f"Creating virtual environment '{VENV_DIR}'...")
        subprocess.check_call([sys.executable, "-m", "venv", VENV_DIR])

    # 2. Define paths based on OS
    if os.name == 'nt': # Windows
        venv_python = os.path.join(VENV_DIR, "Scripts", "python.exe")
        venv_pip = os.path.join(VENV_DIR, "Scripts", "pip.exe")
    else: # Mac/Linux
        venv_python = os.path.join(VENV_DIR, "bin", "python")
        venv_pip = os.path.join(VENV_DIR, "bin", "pip")

    # 3. Install dependencies
    print("Installing 'requests'...")
    subprocess.check_call([venv_pip, "install", "requests", "--quiet"])

    # 4. Rerun this script using the venv python
    print("--- Setup complete. Running Logic --- \n")
    subprocess.check_call([venv_python] + sys.argv)
    sys.exit()

# ==========================================
# PART 2: API LOGIC
# ==========================================
# This code only runs once the setup above is complete.

import requests 

API_BASE = os.getenv('API_BASE', 'https://genbounty.com')
API_KEY = os.getenv('API_KEY', 'gb_live_your_api_key_here')
HEADERS = {'Authorization': f'Bearer {API_KEY}'}

def get_data(title, endpoint):
    """Simple fetcher without params/filters"""
    print(f"Fetching: {title}")
    try:
        response = requests.get(f"{API_BASE}/api/v2/{endpoint}", headers=HEADERS)
        
        if response.status_code == 200:
            print(json.dumps(response.json(), indent=2))
        else:
            print(f"Error {response.status_code}: {response.text}")
            
    except Exception as e:
        print(f"Connection failed: {e}")
    print("-" * 40)

if __name__ == "__main__":
    # 1. Programs
    get_data("Programs", "programs/company/my-programs")

    # 2. Compliance
    get_data("Compliance Documents", "compliance")

    # 3. Submissions
    get_data("Submissions", "submissions")

    # 4. Incident Reports
    get_data("Incident Reports", "incidents/reports")

    # 5. FRIA Assessments
    get_data("FRIA Assessments", "fria/assessments")

    # 6. Messages
    get_data("Messages", "messages")

    # 7. Teams
    get_data("Teams", "teams")

Usage: Save this script as api_all_in_one.py and simply run:

python api_all_in_one.py

The script will automatically:

Create a virtual environment if it doesn't exist
Install the requests library
Run all API endpoints and print the JSON responses

Set environment variables before running (optional):

# On macOS/Linux:
export API_BASE="http://localhost:3000"
export API_KEY="gb_live_your_api_key_here"
python api_all_in_one.py

# On Windows:
set API_BASE=http://localhost:3000
set API_KEY=gb_live_your_api_key_here
python api_all_in_one.py
