The definitive VirusTotal’s admin guide

VirusTotal administrators’ tasks are key for the good health of the groups they manage. Unfortunately it is not always clear the best way to do this or that task. But we heard our beloved community, and we created the definitive guide for everything a VirusTotal group administrator might need to know, including use cases, examples, where to find everything in the GUI and how to automate tasks using the API, including scripts ready to use in our GitHub repository.

General notions

The guide begins with general notions and a quick overview of the VT Enterprise group web interface.

In particular, we need to know where to retrieve IDs for groups, users and service accounts, as they are required for any VirusTotal API v3 interaction. The administrator’s API key is required for VirusTotal API authentication/authorization.
