Mapping Upload API tasks
To understand how the Upload API works and in which order you use the Upload API calls, this table maps the API calls to the manual steps in the Veracode Platform.
| Step | Using the Veracode Platform | Using the Upload API | Returns XML file |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Create an application profile. | createapp.do Optionally, if you want to name a scan, use createbuild.do. | appinfo.xml |
| 2 | Select and upload binaries. | uploadfile.do or uploadlargefile.do, beginprescan.do Use uploadfile.do or uploadlargefile.do in a programmatic loop to iterate through a directory in the local file system. | filelist.xml, buildinfo.xml |
| 3 | Wait for the prescan to complete. | getprescanresults.do or getbuildinfo.do | prescanresults.xml |
| 4 | Select and upload binary modules. Submit scan. | beginscan.do | buildinfo.xml |
