Create a Dynamic Analysis with a user agent and blocklisted URLs using the REST API

You can use the Dynamic Analysis API to create an analysis that scans multiple URLs, applies a user agent, and blocklists specific URLs.

To complete this task:

1. Enter values for the scan_config_request, scan_setting, blacklist_configuration, org_info, visibility, and user_agent properties in the JSON file.

   If you want to specify a custom header, set "type: "CUSTOM". If you use a predefined agent, such as Internet Explorer 11, you cannot include a custom_header field.

2. Send the following request:

   http --auth-type=veracode_hmac POST "https://api.veracode.com/was/configservice/v1/analyses" < input.json

   This is an example of a Dynamic Analysis of multiple URLs. This analysis specifies the user agent string and the URLs to exclude from both the analysis and the URL scan.

   note

   The URLs that you blocklist at the URL-specific level take precedence over the URLs in this blocklist. For example, if you blocklist a URL in your URL configuration, but not in the configuration of the whole Dynamic Analysis, the URL configuration blocklist determines which URLs to exclude from the scan.
