HTTP request

POST /security/threatSubmission/emailThreats

Request headers

Name Description
Authorization Bearer {token}. Required. Learn more about authentication and authorization.
Content-Type application/json. Required.

Request body

In the request body, supply a JSON representation of either an emailContentThreatSubmission object or an emailUrlThreatSubmission object.

The emailContentThreatSubmission and emailUrlThreatSubmission resources are both subtypes of the emailThreatSubmission entity. Choose what to include in the request body based on the following:

  • If you want to create a submission with the email content itself, include an emailContentThreatSubmission object.
  • If you want to create a submission with a URL that points to the email, include an emailUrlThreatSubmission object.

After the emailContentThreatSubmission or emailUrlThreatSubmision objects are created, the threat submission service just stores some metadata about the email. The email content is not stored. As a result, an emailThreatSubmission entity is created.

Response

If successful, this method returns a 201 Created response code and an emailThreatSubmission object in the response body.
