Method: hashes.search

Gets the full hashes that match the requested hash prefix. This is used after a hash prefix is looked up in a threatList and there is a match. The client side threatList only holds partial hashes so the client must query this method to determine if there is a full hash match of a threat.

HTTP request

GET https://webrisk.googleapis.com/v1beta1/hashes:search

The URL uses gRPC Transcoding syntax.

Query parameters

Parameters
hashPrefix

string (bytes format)

A hash prefix, consisting of the most significant 4-32 bytes of a SHA256 hash. For JSON requests, this field is base64-encoded.

A base64-encoded string.
threatTypes[]

enum (ThreatType)

Required. The ThreatLists to search in. Multiple ThreatLists may be specified.

Request body

The request body must be empty.

Response body

If successful, the response body contains data with the following structure:

JSON representation 
{
  "threats": [
    {
      object (ThreatHash)
    }
  ],
  "negativeExpireTime": string
}
Fields
threats[]

object (ThreatHash)

The full hashes that matched the requested prefixes. The hash will be populated in the key.
negativeExpireTime

string (Timestamp format)

For requested entities that did not match the threat list, how long to cache the response until.

A timestamp in RFC3339 UTC "Zulu" format, with nanosecond resolution and up to nine fractional digits. Examples: "2014-10-02T15:01:23Z" and "2014-10-02T15:01:23.045123456Z".

Authorization Scopes

Requires the following OAuth scope:

ThreatHash

Contains threat information on a matching hash.

JSON representation 
{
  "threatTypes": [
    enum (ThreatType)
  ],
  "hash": string,
  "expireTime": string
}
Fields
threatTypes[]

enum (ThreatType)

The ThreatList this threat belongs to. This must contain at least one entry.
hash

string (bytes format)

A 32 byte SHA256 hash. This field is in binary format. For JSON requests, hashes are base64-encoded.

A base64-encoded string.
expireTime

string (Timestamp format)

The cache lifetime for the returned match. Clients must not cache this response past this timestamp to avoid false positives.

A timestamp in RFC3339 UTC "Zulu" format, with nanosecond resolution and up to nine fractional digits. Examples: "2014-10-02T15:01:23Z" and "2014-10-02T15:01:23.045123456Z".
