# Trivy: find secrets in a directory



Find secrets in a directory.



## 1. Run the example



[Download the Trivy example](https://www.security.run/docs/examples/trivy.zip). Extract it, install `httpx`, set your API URL and token, then run `python client.py`. The client uploads the included inputs, submits the command, and saves the result under `results/RUN_ID`.



## 2. Check the result



Read report.json for the secret match in the supplied source file.



Read the native exit code and cleanup status printed by the client. [Read results and save reports](https://www.security.run/docs/visibility.html) explains the returned files.



## 3. Use your own inputs



Edit `example.json` to change the command arguments, requested outputs or deadline. Replace the files under `inputs/` with your own data, keeping the staged paths aligned with the command. The client creates the artifact IDs for you; illustrative IDs shown here must not be copied into a live request.



### Files used by this example



- `src/config.env`



The example uses supplied files or the disposable execution environment. Nothing from the environment carries into a later run unless you request and reuse its output.



Qualified version: `0.76.2`. Commands: `trivy`.



- Secret scanning is bundled; vulnerability scans require separately supplied or prepared databases.



Inspect `GET /v1/tools/trivy` for the current installed version and readiness. The published snapshot has 1 functional case(s), plus timeout and cancellation checks. These examples demonstrate the native path; other flags and inputs are supported within the tool’s runtime limits.
