Using the Static Flaw Information Endpoint

You can use the static_flaw_info endpoint of the Findings API to get additional information about a single finding discovered during a static analysis.

The static_flaw_info endpoint returns this information:

• Name of the scanned module
• Filepath to the file that contains the finding
• Name of the function that contains the finding
• Code line numbers where the finding exists
• Attack vectors associated with the request
• Calls in the associated call stack

Permissions and Authentication

Before you can use all the endpoints of the Findings API, you must have one of these account types:

• An API service account with the Results API role
• A user account with the Reviewer or Security Lead role

This API uses API ID/key credentials and HMAC authentication to provide improved security. Before you can send requests, you must complete these configurations:

• Veracode API credentials
• HMAC authentication

Ensure you access the APIs with the domain for your region.
