Scan File

Scans a file and returns the analysis.

If the file is uploaded to a URL, it is preferred that you use the “Scan URL” action instead.

NOTE: If the analysis is taking too long, this action may return it in a queued state. You can use the “Get Analysis” action to retrieve it’s completed result later or increase the step timeout.

File Data	Contents of the file to upload.
Time Interval	The duration (seconds) between analysis checks.
