vt-go

This is the official Go client library for VirusTotal. With this library you can interact with the VirusTotal REST API v3 without having to send plain HTTP requests with the standard "http" package.

Usage example

package main

import (
	"flag"
	"fmt"
	"log"
	"os"

	vt "github.com/VirusTotal/vt-go"
)

var apikey = flag.String("apikey", "", "VirusTotal API key")
var sha256 = flag.String("sha256", "", "SHA-256 of some file")

func main() {

	flag.Parse()

	if *apikey == "" || *sha256 == "" {
		fmt.Println("Must pass both the --apikey and --sha256 arguments.")
		os.Exit(0)
	}

	client := vt.NewClient(*apikey)

	file, err := client.GetObject(vt.URL("files/%s", *sha256))
	if err != nil {
		log.Fatal(err)
	}

	ls, err := file.GetTime("last_submission_date")
	if err != nil {
		log.Fatal(err)
	}

	fmt.Printf("File %s was submitted for the last time on %v\n", file.ID(), ls)
}
