Check for XSS Attacks in Python

In working with sensitive personal information for you company, employees, or clients, you must have a set method for protecting that data. Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) attacks pose an imminent risk to private data without the proper precautions put in place. The following API will check for and detect XSS attacks by scanning all text input on your site.

Run this command to install the SDK:

pip install cloudmersive-validate-api-client

Then, you can call the function:

from __future__ import print_function
import time
import cloudmersive_validate_api_client
from cloudmersive_validate_api_client.rest import ApiException
from pprint import pprint
# Configure API key authorization: Apikey
configuration = cloudmersive_validate_api_client.Configuration()
configuration.api_key['Apikey'] = 'YOUR_API_KEY'
# create an instance of the API class
api_instance = cloudmersive_validate_api_client.TextInputApi(cloudmersive_validate_api_client.ApiClient(configuration))
value = 'value_example' # str | User-facing text input.
try:
    # Check text input for Cross-Site-Scripting (XSS) attacks
    api_response = api_instance.text_input_check_xss(value)
    pprint(api_response)
except ApiException as e:
    print("Exception when calling TextInputApi->text_input_check_xss: %s\n" % e)

With this, you can secure your online programs and provide safer interfacing for your client-base. You can retrieve the API Key from Cloudmersive at no cost and with no commitment. This will give you access to 800 monthly calls across our library of APIs.
