Reports a Safe Browsing threat list hit to Google. Only projects with TRUSTED_REPORTER visibility can use this method.

Required Request Value

The request value is a data-structure with various fields. Each field may be a simple scalar or another data-structure. In the latter case it is advised to set the field-cursor to the data-structure's field to specify values more concisely.

For example, a structure like this:

GoogleSecuritySafebrowsingV4ThreatHit:
  client-info:
    client-id: string
    client-version: string
  entry:
    digest: string
    hash: string
    url: string
  platform-type: string
  threat-type: string
  user-info:
    region-code: string
    user-id: string

can be set completely with the following arguments which are assumed to be executed in the given order. Note how the cursor position is adjusted to the respective structures, allowing simple field names to be used most of the time.

  • -r .client-info client-id=amet.
    • A client ID that (hopefully) uniquely identifies the client implementation of the Safe Browsing API.

  • client-version=takimata

    • The version of the client implementation.

  • ..entry digest=amet.

    • The digest of an executable in SHA256 format. The API supports both binary and hex digests. For JSON requests, digests are base64-encoded.
  • hash=duo
    • A hash prefix, consisting of the most significant 4-32 bytes of a SHA256 hash. This field is in binary format. For JSON requests, hashes are base64-encoded.

  • url=ipsum

    • A URL.

  • .. platform-type=gubergren

    • The platform type reported.
  • threat-type=lorem
    • The threat type reported.
  • user-info region-code=gubergren
    • The UN M.49 region code associated with the user's location.
  • user-id=eos
    • Unique user identifier defined by the client.

About Cursors

The cursor position is key to comfortably set complex nested structures. The following rules apply:

  • The cursor position is always set relative to the current one, unless the field name starts with the . character. Fields can be nested such as in -r f.s.o .
  • The cursor position is set relative to the top-level structure if it starts with ., e.g. -r .s.s
  • You can also set nested fields without setting the cursor explicitly. For example, to set a value relative to the current cursor position, you would specify -r struct.sub_struct=bar.
  • You can move the cursor one level up by using ... Each additional . moves it up one additional level. E.g. ... would go three levels up.

Optional Output Flags

The method's return value a JSON encoded structure, which will be written to standard output by default.

  • -o out
    • out specifies the destination to which to write the server's result to. It will be a JSON-encoded structure. The destination may be - to indicate standard output, or a filepath that is to contain the received bytes. If unset, it defaults to standard output.

Optional General Properties

The following properties can configure any call, and are not specific to this method.

  • -p $-xgafv=string

    • V1 error format.

  • -p access-token=string

    • OAuth access token.

  • -p alt=string

    • Data format for response.

  • -p callback=string

    • JSONP

  • -p fields=string

    • Selector specifying which fields to include in a partial response.

  • -p key=string

    • API key. Your API key identifies your project and provides you with API access, quota, and reports. Required unless you provide an OAuth 2.0 token.

  • -p oauth-token=string

    • OAuth 2.0 token for the current user.

  • -p pretty-print=boolean

    • Returns response with indentations and line breaks.

  • -p quota-user=string

    • Available to use for quota purposes for server-side applications. Can be any arbitrary string assigned to a user, but should not exceed 40 characters.

  • -p upload-type=string

    • Legacy upload protocol for media (e.g. "media", "multipart").

  • -p upload-protocol=string

    • Upload protocol for media (e.g. "raw", "multipart").
