retdec-python

A Python library and tools providing easy access to the retdec.com decompilation service through their public REST API.

You can either incorporate the library in your own scripts:

from retdec.decompiler import Decompiler

decompiler = Decompiler(api_key='YOUR-API-KEY')
decompilation = decompiler.start_decompilation(input_file='file.exe')
decompilation.wait_until_finished()
decompilation.save_hll_code()

or you can use the provided script for stand-alone decompilations:

$ decompiler -k YOUR-API-KEY file.exe
v23bmYb67R
----------

Either way, file.c then contains the decompiled C code:

$ cat file.c
