On-demand file scan

Sometimes, you want to scan one particular file in your S3 bucket. You can do so by sending a scan job to bucketAV manually or programmatically via Amazon SQS & SNS or our HTTPS API.

Programmatically scan a file (#)

Please visit our Developer docs.

3. Navigate to Queues.
4. Click on the queue with ScanQueue in the name.

{
  "objects": [
    {
      "bucket": "BUCKET_NAME",
      "key": "OBJECT_KEY"
    }    
  ]
