We are very excited to announce the availability of a new feature to Metascan Online, the Metascan Online Public API! This API, currently in beta, is now accessible for all users.
The Metascan Online Public API allows users to harness our cloud multi-scanning technology to scan files for malware or search for previous scan results using a file's hash (MD5, SHA1 or SHA256). The API allows easy integration of malware scanning with the more than 40 antivirus engines included in Metascan Online, from leading security vendors such as Kaspersky Lab, McAfee, AVG, Avira and many others.
Free access to the Metascan Online Public API (available after signing up for an OPSWAT Portal account and obtaining a license key at https://myportal.opswat.com/) allows five file scans and five hash searches per hour. Users can purchase additional scans or searches by contacting sales.
Additional exciting changes have been released recently as well: we increased the file size limit to 80MB, and we've invested in additional hardware to increase our scanning capacity. The increased scanning capacity provides users with faster scans results, both through the web interface as well as through the Metascan Online API.
For additional information and documentation on the Metascan Online API please visit https://www.metascan-online.com/public-api. We would appreciate your feedback on the new API — please send your comments to us by submitting a support ticket on the OPSWAT Portal!
Join us for an online webinar hosted by our Senior Product Manager Tony Berning on Wednesday, May 15th at 8 a.m. PDTto learn more about the Metascan Online API. The webinar will focus on features of the new API and how you can add multi-scanning to your security architecture. Visit the event page for more details and to register.
