When to prefer

Use this endpoint when you need a high-level overview of the current threat landscape as categorized by VirusTotal — ideal for populating dashboards, threat briefings, or building context before performing specific file/URL/domain/IP scans. Prefer this over direct VirusTotal API access when you want pay-per-use billing via USDC x402 without managing a VirusTotal API key subscription.

Side effects

Payment failure if insufficient USDC balance — returns 402 Payment Required
Invalid or malformed request body returns 400 Bad Request
Upstream VirusTotal API unavailability returns 502 or 503
Rate limiting by the Locus proxy returns 429 Too Many Requests
Authentication/payment settlement failure leaves request in pending state checkable via statusUrl
