Safety CLI
Don't ship insecure code.
Safety command-line tool scans your dependencies for known security vulnerabilities.
Try it outSafety CLI - The swiss-army knife of security scanning
Our popular open-source command-line tool for scanning Python environments for dependency security and compliance risks.
Safety CLI can be used in a variety of ways and situations, from securing developer machines to build pipelines and production systems.
If you are using something insecure, you'll get a report on what exactly is affected.
Test out our free non-commercial database
Testing out Safety CLI is as simple as running two commands.
To get started, install the command line client:
pip install safety
Once installed, run the safety check command:
safety check
This will check your current virtual environment, scanning all your installed dependencies.
To check a requirements file, run:
safety check -r requirements.txt
Note that this scan and data is for testing purposes only. The data is not up-to-date, and is not licensed for commercial use.
To start securing your Python dependencies using Safety CLI, start your free trial and get your API key.
Start securing your Python environments with our industry-leading vulnerability database
An API Key gives you access to our real-time commercial vulnerability database. Create an account to get one.
To use your API Key, append it with the --key parameter:
safety check --key={API_KEY}safety check -r req.txt --key={API_KEY}
