Use the Anchore API to import a source repository artifact from a software bill of materials (SBOM) file on disk. You can also get information about the source repository, investigate vulnerability packages by requesting vulnerabilities for a single analyzed source repository, or get any policy evaluations.
For more information about using Anchore APIs via Swagger, see: Using the Anchore API.
The SBOM management API workflow would generally be as follows.
Note: Reference the API endpoints in Swagger for the latest information.
- Once you have generated a SBOM using anchorectl, you can use the API to import that SBOM as a source artifact. For example, to create the import “operation” (job) for importing a source.
curl -u admin:foobar -X 'POST' 'http://localhost:8228/v2/imports/sources'
{
"created_at": "2023-10-27T16:26:33Z",
"expires_at": "2023-10-28T16:26:33Z",
"last_updated": "2023-10-27T16:26:33Z",
"status": "pending",
"uuid": "b78cda3b-eff7-4e2e-a1ed-e3f8433435cf"
}
- Add the SBOM to the import operation. For example:
curl -u admin:foobar -X POST http://localhost:8228/v2/imports/sources/767c77fe-8f93-4e7e-a9ff-f0f39e2a80ba/sbom -d @/absolute/path/to/your/sbom.json -H "Content-Type: application/json"
{
"created_at": "2022-02-28T20:36:32Z",
"digest": "6778145cdda7a3443abc9650683c6d5bf8a87e3e6b4b3c8868224e7755680446"
}
- Finalize the import. For example:
curl -X 'POST' 'http://localhost:8228/v2/imports/sources/767c77fe-8f93-4e7e-a9ff-f0f39e2a80ba/finalize'
-H 'accept: application/json'
-H 'Content-Type: application/json’
