Method Details

close

public void close()

Closes this client and releases underlying system resources.

Specified by:

close in interface AutoCloseable

Specified by:

close in interface Closeable

scanText

public ScanTextResponse scanText(ScanTextRequest request)

Scans the provided plaintext against the provided detectors, and returns all findings. The response object will contain a list of lists representing the findings. Each index i in the findings array will correspond one-to-one with the input request payload list, so all findings stored in a given sub-list refer to matches that occurred in the ith index of the request payload.

Parameters:

request - the data to scan, along with the configuration describing how to scan the data. The request payload may not exceed 500KB.

Returns:

an object containing the findings from each item in the request payload

Throws:

NightfallAPIException - thrown if a non-2xx status code is returned by the API.

NightfallClientException - thrown if a I/O error occurs while processing the request

IllegalArgumentException - thrown if request is null

NightfallRequestTimeoutException - thrown if the request is aborted because the timeout is exceeded

scanFile

public ScanFileResponse scanFile(ScanFileRequest request,
 InputStream content,
 long contentSizeBytes)

A convenience method that abstracts the details of the multi-step file upload and scan process. In other words, calling this method for a given file is equivalent to (1) manually initializing a file upload session, (2) uploading all chunks of the file, (3) completing the upload, and (4) triggering a scan of the file.

The maximum allowed contentSizeBytes is dependent on the terms of your current Nightfall usage plan agreement; check the Nightfall dashboard for more details.

This method consumes the provided InputStream, but it *does not* close it; closing remains the caller's responsibility.

Parameters:

request - contains configuration describing which detectors to use to scan the file, as well as a webhook URL for delivering the results of the scan.

content - a stream of the bytes representing the file to upload

contentSizeBytes - the size of the input stream

Returns:

an acknowledgment that the asynchronous scan has been initiated.

Throws:

NightfallAPIException - thrown if a non-2xx status code is returned by the API.

NightfallClientException - thrown if a I/O error occurs while processing the request

NightfallRequestTimeoutException - thrown if the request is aborted because read/write timeout is exceeded

scanFile

public ScanFileResponse scanFile(ScanFileRequest request,
 InputStream content,
 long contentSizeBytes,
 Duration timeout)

A convenience method that abstracts the details of the multi-step file upload and scan process. In other words, calling this method for a given file is equivalent to (1) manually initializing a file upload session, (2) uploading all chunks of the file, (3) completing the upload, and (4) triggering a scan of the file.

The maximum allowed contentSizeBytes is dependent on the terms of your current Nightfall usage plan agreement; check the Nightfall dashboard for more details.

This method consumes the provided InputStream, but it *does not* close it; closing remains the caller's responsibility.

Parameters:

request - contains configuration describing which detectors to use to scan the file, as well as a webhook URL for delivering the results of the scan.

content - a stream of the bytes representing the file to upload

contentSizeBytes - the size of the input stream

timeout - the allowed duration for the request; if the execution time exceeds this duration, the request will be aborted.

Returns:

an acknowledgment that the asynchronous scan has been initiated.

Throws:

NightfallAPIException - thrown if a non-2xx status code is returned by the API.

NightfallClientException - thrown if a I/O error occurs while processing the request

NightfallRequestTimeoutException - thrown if execution time exceeds the provided timeout, or if an HTTP request is terminated by the client for exceeding read/write timeouts.
