urlscan

Analyze Websites and Resources They Request

Description

The \ service provides an ‘API’ enabling analysis of
websites and the resources they request. Much like the ‘Inspector’ of
your browser, \ will let you take a look at the individual
resources that are requested when a site is loaded. Tools are provided
to search public \ scan submissions/results and submit
URLs for scanning.

What’s Inside The Tin

The following functions are implemented:

• urlscan_search: Perform a urlscan.io query
• urlscan_result: Retrieve detailed results for a given scan ID
• urlscan_submit: Submit a URL for scanning
