Asynchronous API

While the Synchronous API effectively meets the need for handling substantial volumes of data, certain client architecture patterns will require the incorporation of an asynchronous mode.

With Glasswall Halo's Asynchronous API, requests can be handled via a two-stage process. Initially, a UUID is generated for a request, which can subsequently be used to retrieve the processing outcome. This enables the client to continue at its own convenience, eliminating the requirement to wait for file processing.

Endpoints

The Glasswall Asynchronous API consists of several endpoints which carry out specific functions.

The endpoints and their descriptions are listed below.

• CDR Async
  This endpoint asynchronously analyses and rebuilds binary or Base64 encoded files to determine if they contain threats, by comparing them to their known manufacturer's specification. Once the process is complete, the rebuilt file along with either a XML or JSON report, is produced and available as a ZIP download in the Responses section.
