If you’re looking for a way to scan files for malware threats using API, there are a few options out there. One popular option is VirusTotal, which can be used to check for the presence of viruses, ransomware, trojans, spyware and more in individual files. However, this service has some limitations: it only checks for malicious content at the file level, but not the contents of web pages or email attachments.

Scan files for malware threats using API is Microsoft’s own antivirus software. The Microsoft Defender Antivirus Scan API can be used to perform a manual scanning of files or URLs, and returns the results via an JSON object. However, this API has some rate limits: it can only make 100 calls per minute and 1500 calls per hour.

A third option is to use a cloud function that can scan files for malware threats. The Cloud Function “WildFire Verdict Checker” can be used to scan a file by passing the MD5 hash into the function along with the API key. The function will then upload the MD5 hash into the WildFire system and then check for a verdict within 60 seconds. If a verdict is returned it will be stored in the WildFire system and then available for other services to query.

The last option is to use a solution that can perform data sanitization on the file level. This can be very useful in platforms that rely on user-generated content, such as file uploads or importing data from external sources. This is because most malware detection solutions rely on detection, but data sanitization takes the attack vector out of play. For example, our solution Metadefender will obfuscate the credit card number embedded in an image file so that it isn’t visible to attackers.
