NodeJS - Upload 36MB file to VirusTotal failing

0 votes

I'm trying to upload a 36MB zip file to Virus Total using NodeJS and their public API. I'm having trouble uploading right now, and I'm not sure what to do next to remedy it. Their API has no file size restrictions, while their frontend uploader has a 128MB upload limit.

<html><head>
<meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html;charset=utf-8">
<title>413 Request Entity Too Large</title>
</head>
<body text=#000000 bgcolor=#ffffff>
<h1>Error: Request Entity Too Large</h1>
<h2>Your client issued a request that was too large.
</h2>
<h2></h2>
</body></html>

The code is straightforward and straightforward, but I'm stumped as to how to solve it. Any assistance is greatly appreciated.

var request = require('request');
var fs = require('fs');

var formData = {
  file: fs.createReadStream('./path/to/file.zip'),
  apikey: 'public-vt-apikey'
};

var options = {
  url: 'vtapi/v2/file/scan',
  formData: formData
};

request.post(options, function(err, res, body) {
  console.log(body);
});

The VirusTotal file/scan API request has a 32MB restriction. If you have a solid use case for scanning huge files, you can request access to VirusTotal's larger file API call, which can handle files up to 200MB.
