# Components for a file MD5

> Look up a file by hash and return its matching components (`-P`). Also served at the legacy `/v3/scan/raw` alias (used by the batchScanner pipeline) — **deprecated, provisional for compatibility and to be removed in a future version**; new clients should use `/v3/raw/scan`.

  title: SCANOSS Services API
  version: 0.28.1
  description: |
    Consolidated HTTP API for the SCANOSS knowledge base. Exposes the
    following domains under a single `/v3/*` prefix:

      * **licenses**      — attribution files + per-file license evidence
      * **copyright**     — copyright evidence + holders (stubbed pending data)
      * **components**    — free-form search, versions and lifecycle status
      * **crypto**        — algorithms, hints and version ranges per purl,
                            plus ruleset tarball downloads
      * **crypto reachability** — stitched cryptographic findings, call
                            chains, entry points, supporting and forward
                            calls per component or frozen dependency tree
      * **dependencies**  — declared dependencies (with composite-license
                            resolution) and bounded transitive walks
      * **geo**           — contributor declared/curated locations and
                            timezone-based origin distribution
      * **vulnerabilities** (path `/vuln/*`) — CVE detection by merging the
                            local NVD KB with osv.dev, enriched with EPSS
      * **scan**          — direct SCANOSS engine scans (WFP upload, MD5 /
                            urlhash / snippet lookups)
      * **contents**      — raw notice / source-code content from the mz store

    Every batch endpoint encodes per-item failures as `info_code` /
    `info_message` so the call as a whole returns 200 with a
    `status.status` ∈ {SUCCESS, PARTIAL_SUCCESS, ERROR}. Single-purl
    GETs derive the same status from the item's `info_code`.
