wget.exe Can't save page at virustotal.com

Question

I've build personal antivirus which needs to save result page from virustotal.com in my drive, I did use wget.exe for this job as third part, but it keeps showing this error with [0/0] saved:

    C:\wget\GnuWin32\bin>wget.exe --no-check-certificate https://www.virustotal.com/en/file/15c34d2b0e834727949dbacea897db33c785a32ac606c0935e3758c8dc975535/analysis/

Any suggestion please?

Answer 1

Virustotal has an API designed to do what you want, they provide python examples for this:

import simplejson
import urllib
import urllib2
url = "https://www.virustotal.com/vtapi/v2/file/report"
parameters = {"resource": "99017f6eebbac24f351415dd410d522d",  
              "apikey": "1fe0ef5feca2f84eb450bc3617f839e317b2a686af4d651a9bada77a522201b0"}
data = urllib.urlencode(parameters)
req = urllib2.Request(url, data)
response = urllib2.urlopen(req)
json = response.read()
print json

(All code taken from https://www.virustotal.com/vtapi/v2/file/report )

It is very likely that because of this what you are trying to do is not working. The site returns a Content-Length of 0 when you use the URL you see in the browser (which uses a lot of Javascripts to do its work)
