Result API Reference v1
Last updated: 2022-02-17


The Result API allows retrieving the metadata generated by each scan. The metadata is a JSON object with different top-level keys. Some of the information in the object is redundant and only repeated for convenience. The best way to explore the available data in the Result API is to perform a scan and look at its API output.

  • verdicts.XXX.score: This is an integer now which can range from -100 (legitimate) to 100 (malicious). Previously the range was 0-100.
  • verdicts.overall.brands: This is a flat array of brand identifiers, contrary to verdicts.urlscan.brands which is an array of objects.
  • verdicts.engines: This field is not used anymore and should not be relied on.
  • Attention: Make sure your response parser can handle missing fields.
  • Attention: If you use any of the detailed fields from the API result (especially within the data.requests list) then be prepared to adjust your code when data fields and formats change, or fields are added or removed. Many fields are not generated by us but by the Google Chrome webbrowser and as such may change over time without our intervention.

Result API Fields

The Result API returns a JSON object for each scan which has the following top-level keys:

task
Information about the submission: Time, method, options, links to screenshot/DOM
page
High-level information about the page: Geolocation, IP, PTR
lists
Lists of domains, IPs, URLs, ASNs, servers, hashes
data
All of the requests/responses, links, cookies, messages
meta
Processor output: ASN, GeoIP, AdBlock, Google Safe Browsing
stats
Computed stats (by type, protocol, IP, etc.)
verdicts
Verdicts about malicious content, with subkeys urlscan, engines, community.

You will notice that some fields are purely derivative (like the stats and lists) and made for easy consumption while other fields carry the raw data such as the "data" and "task" fields. The following is not a comprehensive list of all fields and sub-keys but should give you a good idea about where to look for what piece of information.
