SBOM Manager API

We recommend using a user token and token password when using the API.

Import an SBOM

Write permissions for the application are required to import a file. The application will have to be created before importing an SBOM.

POST /api/v2/sbom/import

  • applicationId - use the GET Application REST API to fetch the internal application ID

  • file - full path to the file to import (on your client machine)

  • enableBinaryImport - optional parameter to analyze a binary to generate SBOM

  • applicationVersion - optional parameter to manually set the version of the imported SBOM

curl -i -u <UserToken>:<TokenPassword> -F file="@/path/example-bom.xml" -F applicationId=c9920b0b240f405a8fc11c897864e2e5 -F applicationVersion=my_app_version -X POST "https://<tenant>/platform/api/v2/sbom/import"

Use the returned status URL to check the import status.

{"statusUrl":"api/v2/sbom/applications/c9920b0b240f405a8fc11c897864e2e5/status/a5bd3587cf7d45f3aaa2c09401a47b27"}

When complete, you will receive the details on your imported SBOM.

{
  "downloadUrl":"api/v2/sbom/c9920b0b240f405a8fc11c897864e2e5/version/20240409105223535?form=original",
  "applicationId":"c9920b0b240f405a8fc11c897864e2e5",
  "version":"20240409105223535",
  "isError":false,
  "errorMessage":null
}

Analyzing a Binary for SBOM Import

Include the optional enableBinaryImport property when analyzing a binary archive on importing. This will analyze the binary and generate an SBOM to import in one step.

POST /api/v2/sbom/import?enableBinaryImport=true

Example curl

curl -i -u admin:admin123 -H "Content-Type: multipart/form-data" -X POST https://<tenant>/platform/api/v2/sbom/import?enableBinaryImport=true -F "applicationId={applicationId}" -F "file=@uber.jar" -F "applicationVersion=my_app_version"

Export an SBOM in a specific format

Read permissions are required to export the SBOM.

GET api/v2/sbom/{applidationId}/version/{SBOM_version}?state=original&specification=cyclonedx1.5

  • applicationId - use the GET Application REST API to fetch the internal application ID

  • SBOM_version - use the Get all SBOM Versions to fetch the available versions

  • state (optional) - download either the imported or annotated versions.

    • options include: original or current (default)

  • specification (optional) - Target specification of the SBOM.

    • options include: cyclonedx1.5 (default) or spdx2.3

Example

curl -i -u <UserToken>:<TokenPassword> "https://<tenant>/platform/api/v2/sbom/c9920b0b240f405a8fc11c897864e2e5/version/20240409105223535?state=original"

When successful, the SBOM is returned in the requested state and format.

Get all SBOM Versions

Returns a list of SBOMS for an application. Read permissions for the application are required.

GET /api/v2/sbom/applications/{applicationId}
Optional query parameters

  • sortByDate: Sort results by import date. Allowed values [asc|desc]. The default value is asc

Update

The annotation is updated when one has already been added. The lastUpdatedOn and lastUpdatedBy fields are modified when VEX annotations are added.

Delete VEX annotations

Write permissions for the application are required to delete VEX annotations for a specific component's vulnerability.

DELETE /api/v2/sbom/applications/{applicationId}/versions/{sbomVersion}/vulnerability/{vulnerabilityRef}/analysis
{
  "hash": "cf05e1449bccc5dae87b",
  "packageUrl": "pkg:maven/org.apache.tomcat/tomcat-catalina@9.0.14?type=jar"
}

Either the component hash or packageUrl is required but not both. See Sonatype Component Identifiers to learn more.

  • hash: The component’s truncated SHA1. Found in the URL of the component details view or using the get Components API for a specific SBOM version.

  • packageUrl: Component’s Package-URL
