VirusTotal allows you to analyze suspicious files, domains, IPs, and URLs to detect malware and other breaches and automatically share them with the security community. Here's our guide for integrating with VirusTotal using Tines:
First, get a VirusTotal API key
Visit www.virustotal.com and sign in. You'll need to sign up if you are not an existing VirusTotal customer.
Click on your profile in the top right-hand corner and select API key:
Copy the API key.
Then, create a VirusTotal credential in Tines
VirusTotal connect flow (recommended):
Login to your Tines tenant
Navigate to the team that will be using the API and click "Credentials"
Click "+ New Credential" and select "VirusTotal" and follow the prompts to connect.
Manual credential creation
This method is not recommended as the VirusTotal connect flow creates this credential with much less complexity. However, if you need to create this credential set manually, see the following steps below:
Login to your Tines tenant
Navigate to the team that will be using the API and click "Credential"
Click "+ New Credential" and select "Text"
Input the values for the VirusTotal credential
Name: Required
Description: Optional
