Query Parameters

purl
string
required

Package URL identifying the component to analyze.

requirement
string

Version constraint for component resolution when PURL lacks explicit version.

Response

A successful response.

Success example. For error cases, the component block reports the processing status via info_message and info_code. Example: {"component":{"purl":"pkg:github/unknown/component","requirement":">=1.0.0","version":"","algorithms":[],"info_message":"Component not found in database","info_code":"COMPONENT_NOT_FOUND"},"status":{"status":"SUCCESS","message":"Request processed"}}

component
object

Cryptographic algorithm information for a specific component identified by PURL and version.

Contains comprehensive algorithm details including detected algorithms and their strength classifications for software components.

status
object

Detailed response details.
