It handles the HTTP communication and response parsing, exposing methods like `content_scan()` for single documents and `multi_content_scan()` for batch operations. The library uses marshmallow for request/response serialization and includes model classes that can be converted to JSON or dictionaries.\n\nYou typically use it to integrate secret detection into CI/CD pipelines, pre-commit hooks, or custom scanning workflows. The client requires an API key and supports health checks to validate credentials before scanning. Results are returned as structured objects that expose detected secrets, their severity, and remediation guidance.","worth_installing":"Yes. Active maintenance, no known vulnerabilities, low install friction, and permissive MIT license make this a safe choice. Install it if you need to integrate GitGuardian's secret detection into Python workflows\u2014it's the official client and used by GitGuardian Shield itself. Requires a valid API key and internet access to the GitGuardian service."},"id":"pygitguardian","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/pygitguardian","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/pygitguardian.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/pygitguardian/"},"maintenance":{"status":"active"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2026-07-28","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"pygitguardian","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"Python Wrapper for GitGuardian's API -- Scan security policy breaks everywhere"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":391201,"position":7016,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"1.33.1"}
