}Get cryptographic hints across version ranges - legacy endpoint.
Legacy method for retrieving cryptographic hints related to protocols, libraries, SDKs and frameworks across version ranges. Use ComponentHintsInRange or ComponentsHintsInRange instead.

Query Parameters
Package URL identifying the component to analyze.
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","versions":[],"hints":[],"info_message":"Component not found in database","info_code":"COMPONENT_NOT_FOUND"},"status":{"status":"SUCCESS","message":"Request processed"}}
