Hi Team,

I wanted to know do GVM have the REST API support for automation via scripts. (On-Prem Community installed solution)

Like I am looking for launching Openvas remote scanner via REST API and add into GVM. Add tasks or retrive current tasks, modify tasks. etc…

I checked the https://python-gvm.readthedocs.io/en/latest/index.html which is python library but not found functios to launch scanner, modify tasks…

Thanks in Advance.

Hi, not sure what you mean by that.

If you are using our full stack the protocol to go is GMP which is a XML protocol over Unix Domain Sockets or TLS. For Python there is an library (python-gvm) and a tool (gvm-tools) abstracting the protocol. Of course with GMP you can modify tasks and lunch scans.
