Create a Dynamic Analysis of a single URL with prescan verification using the REST API

You can use the Dynamic Analysis API to create an analysis with prescan verification.

Before you begin:

To be able to run a prescan verification before the Dynamic Analysis, you must allow two hours for the prescan to complete before you schedule the analysis to begin.

To complete this task:

1. Enter values for the scan_config_request and schedule properties in the JSON file.

2. Send the following request:

   http --auth-type=veracode_hmac POST "https://api.veracode.com/was/configservice/v1/analyses?run_verification=true" < input.json

   The run_verification=true query property specifies that the prescan run after the request creates the analysis.

   note

   If your prescan verification fails, the Dynamic Analysis also fails.

   This is an example of a Dynamic Analysis for a single URL with prescan:

    {
     "name": "Name-of-Your-Dynamic-Analysis",
     "scans": [
       {
         "scan_config_request": {
           "target_url": {
             "url": "http://www.example.com"
           }
         }
       }
     ],
     "schedule": {
       "start_date": "2020-02-27T02:00+00:00",
       "duration": {
         "length": 3,
         "unit": "DAY"
       }
     }
   }

   You can call GET /analyses to see the status of your analyses.
