Linking to a url scan result

[billy...@gmail.com]

I want to link someone to virustotal.com's results for a given url.

I noticed that https://virustotal.com/en/url/submission/?url=http://google.com works as expected.

But https://virustotal.com/en/url/submission/?url=https://s3.awsblah.com/bucket/path/file.jpg does not.  It comes back:

500 - An error occurred while processing your request

Does VirusTotal block s3 urls from scanning?  Or does something about s3 cause breakage?

I want to send people links to files in s3, and also send them a link that they can easily click to examine that file with virustotal before opening the link itself.

Hello,

This is not the way to link to the results of a given URL, as this would trigger a rescan for each of your users, instead, you should be linking to the report itself:

https://www.virustotal.com/en/faq/#shortcuts

So this would become:

https://virustotal.com/latest-scan/https://google.com

Regards.

I don't want a rescan every time they click. But I think more than likely they're only going to click once if ever.

How should I form a link that will display results if they already exist, and scan a url if its not already been scanned?

Am I correct in understanding this is the default behavior of using virustotal's site by hand?
