Navigate to the Account Information page: https://metadefender.opswat.com/account and copy your API key.

Step #2 - Open FileScanIO/fsTransform/conf/transform.properties.custom in a text editor

Add the following configuration variables, please use your own API key:

​

runOSINTLookupsOnExtractedFiles=true
