{cursor}: Get child files of a SHA1 hash

API: circl.lu:hashlookup-circl-api
Endpoint: /children/{sha1}/{count}/{cursor}
Response format: application/json
Auth: none
Method: GET
Last Status: 404
Latency: 116ms

Description

Returns a list of file hashes (children) contained within the specified package or archive. Use this to enumerate files within a container when you only know the package SHA1. Supports pagination via count and cursor parameters.

From spec: Return child files derived from a given SHA1 hash. Used for finding files contained within archives or packages. Pagination is supported via count and cursor parameters.

Usage Tips

- The SHA1 must be a container/package hash, not a file hash - Use cursor from previous response for pagination - Returns empty list if SHA1 has no known children - Common error: using a file hash instead of a container hash

Parameters (3)

count (integer, path, required)

Number of results to return

Constraints: {'minimum': 1, 'maximum': 1000}

cursor (string, path, required)

Pagination cursor (starting value is 0)

sha1 (string, path, required)

Parent SHA1 hash in hexadecimal format

Constraints: {'pattern': '^[a-fA-F0-9]{40}$'}

Examples (1)

Get child files of a container (no children case) probe-gate

Demonstrates querying for child files when the SHA1 is a regular file (not a container)
