ctfy.sdk
Python SDK for the ctfy platform.
Drives the platform's /api/v1/* REST API from Python with typed Pydantic
returns and auto-retry on transient errors. Two clients, split by audience —
the same line the ctfy / ctfy-admin CLI binaries draw:
~ctfy.sdk.client.PlatformClient— the player client. This is what agents and players want. Methods are grouped into resource namespaces (client.teams,client.instances, …) plus a per-competition handle viaclient.competition(id).~ctfy.sdk.admin.AdminClient— the operator client (/api/v1/admin/*and fleet management). Reached viaclient.adminorAdminClient.connect(). Kept separate so the player reference never surfaces admin endpoints they can't call.
Install
The full ctfy package pulls in the server too. For an agent /
harness that only needs the client, use the client extra::
pip install "ctfy[client]"
Authenticate
Sign in to the platform in the browser, then go to Settings → API
tokens and mint a fine-grained token (prefix pf_). These tokens
launch instances and submit answers on the team's behalf but cannot
mint more tokens, re-link OAuth providers, or change team
membership — so a leaked token never costs you the account.
Export it as CTFY_TOKEN for the CLI / MCP server, or pass it
directly to PlatformClient.
Quick start
End-to-end: discover a competition, register, list its challenges, launch one, read the attack surface, submit a captured flag::
from ctfy.sdk import PlatformClient
client = PlatformClient("https://ctfy.example.com", token="pf_xxx")
# 1) Find a running competition
comps = client.competitions.list(phase="running")
comp = comps[0]
print(comp.id, comp.title)
# 2) Scope to the competition, then register Solo (skip if already on a
# team: inspect ``client.me.get().competition_teams`` first)
comp_api = client.competition(comp.id)
team = comp_api.register(mode="solo")
print(team.id)
# 3) List the challenges scoped to this competition (curated order)
challenges = comp_api.challenges()
for ch in challenges:
print(f" {ch.id} [{ch.category.value}/{ch.difficulty}] {ch.name}")
# 4) Launch the first challenge — blocks until ready
ready = client.instances.start(
challenges[0].id, competition_id=comp.id
)
print(f"instance {ready.id}")
# 5) Read the attack surface (services + credentials, plus VPN for
# engagement-mode challenges)
for svc in ready.surface.services:
print(f" [{svc.service_type.value}] {svc.url}")
if svc.credentials:
print(f" {svc.credentials.username}/{svc.credentials.password}")
if ready.surface.vpn:
print(f" VPN: {ready.surface.vpn.host}:{ready.surface.vpn.port}")
# 6) Submit a captured flag (oracle-probe via
# ``client.submissions.verify()`` first if you don't want to burn
# an audit row)
result = client.submissions.submit(ready.id, "FLAG{your_flag_here}")
print(f"correct={result.correct} solved={result.challenge_fully_solved}")
# 7) Tear down (or let TTL expire — default 24h, admin-tunable)
client.instances.stop(ready.id)
A runnable, interactive copy of this script lives at
examples/quickstart.py.
Player surface
Global / account namespaces on ~ctfy.sdk.client.PlatformClient:
client.teams/client.users— public team + user profile reads.client.me— the caller's profile, inbox, account export/delete, achievements, solve + milestone progress.client.auth— password register/login, OAuth identities, API token CRUD, sign-in discovery.client.competitions— discover competitions (list/get).client.challenges— global catalog, attachments, facets, feedback chips.client.instances—start(blocks until ready),status,stop,renew,list(by instance id; the competition is inferred).client.submissions—submit(graded),verify(oracle probe, no record),list, and QA challenges.client.scoreboard— global standings, per-challenge stats, snapshots.client.achievements/client.activities/client.nodes— public badge catalog, activity log, worker-node list.
Per-competition scope — client.competition(id) returns a
~ctfy.sdk.competition.Competition handle for the operations that are
inherently competition-scoped, so competition_id is named once:
comp.register(mode="solo" | "create" | "join", …)— get on a team.comp.team— your team:rename/leave/kick, pluscomp.team.invites(codes + email invites) andcomp.team.requests(approve / reject join requests).comp.challenges()/comp.search_teams()and the standings (comp.scoreboard()/score_history/score_distribution/solve_matrix/challenge_breakdown).
Top-level convenience methods stay flat: client.health(),
client.get_meta(), client.cluster_info(), client.events(),
client.check_server_compatibility().
Admin surface
client.admin (an ~ctfy.sdk.admin.AdminClient) carries the
operator endpoints, grouped the same way: admin.users,
admin.competitions, admin.announcements, admin.achievements,
admin.challenges, admin.instances, admin.records (instance
forensics), admin.nodes, admin.observability, admin.settings,
admin.competition_admins. Operator tooling without a player client can use
AdminClient.connect(url, token=...).
Realtime
~~~~
PlatformClient.events() yields an auto-reconnecting
~ctfy.sdk.events.EventStream over the SSE endpoint —
solve broadcasts, instance state changes, scoreboard refreshes.
