Adding “import sys” to Python

[Yevgen1991]

Hi all!

I have the script which I load into one program:

import requests
import sys
sourceip = sys.argv[1]
url = "https://www.example.com/vtapi/v2/ip-address/report?apikey=XXXXX&ip={0}".format(sourceip)
r = requests.get(url, verify=False)
print(r.text)

Because of import sys, the program substitutes its values instead of {0}.

Everything works fine, but then the following…

I have this cURL:

curl -S -X POST -u username:pass -H 'Version: 12.1' -H 'Accept: application/json' 'https://prog.example2.com/api/reference_data/sets/virustotalIPs?value=TextIsHere'

When I convert it to Python (via online converter) I get:

import requests

headers = {
'Version': '12.1',
'Accept': 'application/json',
}

params = (
('value', 'TextIsHere'),
)

response = requests.post('https://prog.example2.com/api/reference_data/sets/virustotalIPs', headers=headers, params=params, auth=('username', 'pass'), verify=False)

And now, I have to add a module import sys to this script.
It is necessary that instead of TextIsHere was {0}. And don't forget to add .format(sourceip).

How do i need to update the script to make it work?

Thanks All!

I don't know what you mean here? import does just that, import a module, nothing else

im somewhat confused on what your intentions are. Can you elaborate more on what you are trying to accomplish? Adn what does this mean?

sys.argv[1] is the first argument after running. Unless it is separated by spaces?

Dear friend,
I am new in Python, and i dont know what does in means in this script. I explained the situation as I understand it. If I understand it wrong-please me.

I have qRadar SIEM software, and when i put first script in it, the qRadar put his data instead of {0}.
I dont know how its works.... I just have one working script, and I want to complete the second.

Thanks!

Can pass value into params using f-string.

import requests
import sys

sourceip = sys.argv[1]
headers = {
'Version': '12.1',
'Accept': 'application/json',
}

params = (
    ('value', f'{sourceip}'),
)

response = requests.post('https://prog.example2.com/api/reference_data/sets/virustotalIPs', headers=headers, params=params, auth=('username', 'pass'), verify=False)

If Python version is less than 3.6 should upgrade,then can use .format() like this.

params = (
    ('value', '{}'.format(sourceip),
)

Not works :/
