detailedreport.do

For performance reasons, this API automatically compresses the XML output, regardless of file size, in Gzip format. When accessing this API in production, Veracode strongly recommends that you use a user agent, such as HTTPie, which is the default, that supports Gzip. To test this API, you can use any tool that supports HTTP.

Resource URL

https://analysiscenter.veracode.com/api/5.0/detailedreport.do

Parameters

HTTPie Example

Examples use the HTTPie command-line tool. See Using HTTPie with the Python Authentication Library.

http --auth-type=veracode_hmac "https://analysiscenter.veracode.com/api/5.0/detailedreport.do" "build_id==<build id>"

HTTPie Results

The detailedreport.do call returns the detailedreport XML document, which references the detailedreport.xsd schema file. You can use the XSD schema file to validate the XML data. See the detailedreport.xsd schema documentation.
