Metascan Online has always allowed you to look up the scan results for a file’s hash value using either the search page or the public API, but we have recently added an additional way to easily access hashed results.
The new feature makes available a direct link to the scan results for a file’s hash. To directly access the results for a specific hash code, you can now simply navigate to the URL following this format:
https://www.metascan-online.com/en/scanresult/hash/{hash value}
{hash value} can be the MD5, SHA1, or SHA256 hash code for the file. For example, if you want to look up the results for the standard EICAR test file you can use any of the following links:
https://www.metascan-online.com/en/scanresult/hash/44D88612FEA8A8F36DE82E1278ABB02F
https://www.metascan-online.com/en/scanresult/hash/3395856CE81F2B7382DEE72602F798B642F14140
This new feature allows you to integrate the Metascan Online results page directly into your application instead of having to parse and format the raw data returned by the Metascan Online API.
Try out this new feature for yourself at www.metascan-online.com.
