Jamf Keyword Search

A Python utility that downloads all Scripts and Policies from a Jamf Pro server via the API, then searches for a given keyword within:

• Scripts: only the <script_contents> block
• Policies: only the <scripts> section

Search is case-insensitive by default; enable exact matching with --case-sensitive.
