VirusTotal API Integrations
Build and run workflows using the VirusTotal API. Use 1000s of source-available triggers and actions across 1,600+ apps. Or write custom code to integrate any app or API in seconds.
Overview#
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:
- Monitor File Integrity: Visualize hashes of files over time, scan malicious files before downloading, and detect possible malicious file behavior.
- Scan Malicious URLs: Monitor any suspicious URLs registered in the VirusTotal database, and alert users when an URL is tagged as malicious.
- Uncover Malicious Behavior: Paired with other APIs, investigate events reported as malicious and inform users on any malicious behavior.
- Create Firewall Rules: Deny access to untrusted IPs and urls, blacklist them and analyze the source of any suspicious activity.
- Carry Out Instant Analysis: By using VirusTotal Scan, analyze suspicious content and get immediate response on any malicious material.
- Automate Incident Response: Use the APIs with your own incident response system to alert you when malicious content is identified and take immediate action.
