Link

A link is an entity used to indicate a relationship between two samples.

If, for example, a sample downloads or loads another sample they have a relationship of that given type.

Adding a link

The role SAMPLEDB-ANALYZER is required to be able to add a link.

To add a link to a sample, the link endpoint can be used with a POST operation along with the sample ID. The request and response body is JSON formatted and contains information about the link. The example request below adds a link between the given samples defined in the context path in the URL, and in the reference -field in the JSON request, of type downloads.

curl -X POST -H "Argus-API-Key: my/api/key" -H "Content-Type: application/json" https://devapi.mnemonic.no/sampledb/v2/sample/<sample sha256 ID>/link -d '{
  "customer": "customer",
  "userAgent": {
    "name": "user agent",
    "version": "version"
  },
  "tlp": "white",
  "acl": [],
  "type": "downloads",
  "reference": "<sample sha256 ID 2>"
}'
