"No permalink found in response!"

[Cobertos]

Keep getting this error. Hashing a 2.3GB .zip file seemed to work but I keep getting this when trying to upload.

It looks like I haven't hit any limit and it's hitting the API as seen from VirusTotal

[SamuelTulach]

VirusTotal has limits on maximum file size. Are you using public API key or do you have custom one which does not have these limits?

[Cobertos]

Just using a public API key, I know very little about the API in depth, just using this too as-is with a relatively new account.

For some reason I thought if this was uploaded through the tool rather than through the web app there would be no file size limit.

[SamuelTulach]

The limit also applies to the API itself. Not sure what are you trying to upload, but I doubt that's 2,5GB of actual executable code (unless it's some self-extracting program). Try to extract it and upload exe/dll/scripts individually.

I will keep this issue open since I should add a warning if the file is too large.

It's a zip folder with just a ton of PDFs and other things. I'll have to unzip and upload

I think the upload limit 32 MB using upload on virus total web page (See https://developers.virustotal.com/reference#file-scan) - it used to be 20 MB for many years.

Terminology is a bit confusing you register an account to get your "private" API key in the sense that it belongs privately to you (VT should have called this personal public API key). These are also called Public API keys and have file size limit. The Premium API keys have a higher limits I assume they are not free.

I've ran into "No permalink found in response!" becouse of the time limit. AFAIK there was a limit of 4 files per minute for free accounts, so I waited for some time, and it was possible to send a file. Did not tested concerning the size limits (all these are/was documented).
Would be nice, if possible, to get error messages, telling, what limit we ran into :)
