The VirusTotal API is a powerful online tool that allows developers to access malware information, such as the prevalence of a specific file and the location of any malicious URLs providers may have identified. With this API, users can build a range of applications that can help warn their users of malicious activity and protect them from viruses.
Here are some of the things you can build with the VirusTotal API:
import { axios } from "@pipedream/platform"
export default defineComponent({
props: {
virustotal: {
type: "app",
app: "virustotal",
}
},
async run({steps, $}) {
return await axios($, {
url: `https://www.virustotal.com/api/v3/files/upload_url`,
headers: {
"x-apikey": `${this.virustotal.$auth.api_key}`,
},
})
},
})
VirusTotal uses API keys for authentication. When you connect your VirusTotal account, Pipedream securely stores the keys so you can easily authenticate to VirusTotal APIs in both code and no-code steps.
