To understand how the Upload API works and in which order you use the API calls, the following table maps the API calls to the manual platform processes.
| 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 Note: 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 |
