Threat Intelligence Aggregator (TIA) is a web API search engine for virus detection names. The goal of the API is to provide context for the queried item such as the URL for the vendor encyclopedia write-up or the first time TIA saw the detection name. Detection names from the following vendors are supported:
• Avira
• Bitdefender
• ClamAV
• DrWeb
• ESET
• F-Secure
• McAfee
• Microsoft
• Panda
• Sophos
• Symantec
• Trend Micro
You must be issued an API key for use with this service. The API key can be passed as part of the headers in the HTTP get request or within the query string. Three values are passed to the API; the vendor name, detection name, and API key. In the query string example below the vendor is Avira and the detection name is Worm/Conficker.gen. Query string example:
https://threatintelligenceaggregator.org/api/v1/Avira/?name=Worm/Conficker.gen&ApiKey=012345678ABCD
Pass the API key as part of the query string curl example:
curl https://threatintelligenceaggregator.org/api/v1/sophos/?name=Troj/Zbot-LRN&ApiKey=0123456789ABCD
Pass the API Key in header curl example:
curl -H "ApiKey: 0123456789ABC" https://threatintelligenceaggregator.org/api/v1/sophos/?name=Troj/Zbot-LRN
Result example from query:
