## Projektgeschichte und Nutzung

The Homebrew censys package installs the legacy Censys Python library CLI, a command-line interface and API wrapper for Censys Search and ASM data.

### Projektgeschichte

Censys began as a University of Michigan research project in 2013 and grew into an internet intelligence platform built around internet-wide scanning data. The censys-python repository packages that platform access for Python users and exposes a CLI named censys.

### Adoptionsgeschichte

Censys' own documentation positions the data as useful for security operations, exposure management, and research access. The package facts show the Python CLI distributed through Homebrew as well as Debian and Ubuntu as python3-censys.

### Wie es verwendet wird

Users configure Search credentials with censys config or CENSYS_API_ID and CENSYS_API_SECRET. The CLI and Python library can search, view, aggregate, and work with Censys host and certificate data, while ASM APIs remain supported.

### Warum Paket-Nerds sich dafür interessieren

This package is a good example of a security-data CLI whose command name outlived an API generation. The official README now warns that legacy Search v1/v2 APIs are being deprecated and points users toward the newer Censys Platform SDK and cencli, while ASM support in this library continues.

### Zeitleiste

- 2013: Censys started as a University of Michigan research project.
- 2017: Public censys-python GitHub repository created.
- 2026: Official README warns that Censys Search v1/v2 APIs are being deprecated and points to the Censys Platform SDK and cencli.

### Related projects

- cencli is the newer Censys Platform CLI documented by Censys.
- censys-platform is the newer Python SDK named in the official censys-python deprecation notice.
