New version of BlackDuckHub breaks this feature: 2022.7 targeted release

[AmeliaDollars]

Description

The search components endpoint is being deprecated in the 2022.7 update per release notes for 2022.4. This update removes the search/component endpoint and replaces it with "search/kb-components" (which is not yet officially supported). This issue is to update the headers used for the component search functionality to enable use of the new endpoint.

Any update on this request?

I would suggest moving to the client interface rather than relying on updates to the old interface.

Fixes for the old interface are unlikely to be a priority given other aspects (unlimited page size) are already broken by the 2022.4 release.

This is also broken in the Client as it includes the same headers: https://github.com/blackducksoftware/hub-rest-api-python/blob/baaa427907046a2051191e91101fe114236363ee/blackduck/Client.py#L62

As we state in the documentation, Client will passthrough kwargs to the underlying session.request, meaning you could do something like this:

bd = blackduck.Client(...)
for component in bd.get_resource("components", params={'q': 'myComponentName'}, headers={'Accept':'application/vnd.myDataType'}):
  print(component)

More examples in the examples :) https://github.com/blackducksoftware/hub-rest-api-python/blob/master/examples/client/generate_notices_report_for_project_version.py#L70
