Arachnid Shield SDK

An SDK for consuming the Arachnid Shield API.

Usage

First, obtain login credentials by contacting Project Arachnid.

Sync client

You may use the ArachnidShield client that has all the methods needed to consume the Arachnid Shield API.

use arachnid_shield::{ArachnidShield, ApiUser};
use mime::IMAGE_JPEG;

fn get_media() -> Vec<u8> {
    return vec![]
}

let client = ArachnidShield::new(
    ApiUser::new("<username>", "<password>")
);

// Suppose you have media contents and mime_type already available.
let contents = get_media();

// Request Arachnid Shield to scan the media.
let response = client.scan_media_from_bytes(contents, IMAGE_JPEG);

// Might want to handle errors in practice, but we'll
// just .unwrap() it here in this example.
let scanned_media = response.unwrap();

if scanned_media.matches_known_media() {
    eprintln!("Uh-oh, this media: {:#?} matches known media so it is harmful.", scanned_media);
}

Async client

You may use the AsyncArachnidShield client that has exactly the same interface as the sync client but with all the methods being awaitable.

use arachnid_shield::{AsyncArachnidShield as ArachnidShield, ApiUser};
use mime::IMAGE_JPEG;

fn get_media() -> Vec<u8> {
    return vec![]
}

let client = ArachnidShield::new(
    ApiUser::new("<username>", "<password>")
);

#[tokio::main]  // Just an example. Could use any runtime here.
async fn main() {
    // Suppose you have media contents and mime_type already available.
    let contents = get_media();

    // Request Arachnid Shield to scan the media.
    let response = client.scan_media_from_bytes(contents, IMAGE_JPEG).await;

    // Might want to handle errors in practice, but we'll
    // just .unwrap() it here in this example.
    let scanned_media = response.unwrap();

    if scanned_media.matches_known_media() {
        eprintln!("Uh-oh, this media: {:#?} matches known media so it is harmful.", scanned_media);
    }
}
