Quickstart
Before you begin
- Select or create a Cloud Platform project.
- Enable billing for your project.
- Enable the Web Risk API API.
- Set up authentication with a service account so you can access theAPI from your local workstation.
Installing the client library
npm install @google-cloud/web-riskUsing the client library
/** * Check a URI against the WebRisk API. * @param {string} uri A URI to pass to the Web Risk API. */async function quickstart(uri) { // Create the WebRisk client library. const {WebRiskServiceClient} = require('@google-cloud/web-risk'); const client = newWebRiskServiceClient(); // Create an API request to check for malware, social engineering, // and unwanted software. const request = { uri: uri, threatTypes: ['MALWARE', 'SOCIAL_ENGINEERING', 'UNWANTED_SOFTWARE'], }; // call the WebRisk searchUris API. const {threat} = (await client.searchUris(request))[0]; if (threat) { console.info(threat); } else { console.info('no threats found'); }}Samples

Supported Node.js Versions
Our client libraries follow theNode.js release schedule.Libraries are compatible with all currentactive andmaintenance versions ofNode.js.
Client libraries targeting some end-of-life versions of Node.js are available, andcan be installed via npmdist-tags.The dist-tags follow the naming conventionlegacy-(version).
Legacy Node.js versions are supported as a best effort:
- Legacy versions will not be tested in continuous integration.
- Some security patches may not be able to be backported.
- Dependencies will not be kept up-to-date, and features will not be backported.
Legacy tags available
legacy-8: install client libraries from this dist-tag for versionscompatible with Node.js 8.
Versioning
This library followsSemantic Versioning.
This library is considered to beGeneral Availability (GA). This means itis stable; the code surface will not change in backwards-incompatible waysunless absolutely necessary (e.g. because of critical security issues) or withan extensive deprecation period. Issues and requests againstGA librariesare addressed with the highest priority.
