In order how to use the govt module please have a look at the SampleClients directory and it's content.
You need to have an VirusTotal API Key. You can register for an account at VirusTotal in order to get an public API key. There are also private API keys available, for those you have to be accepted by VirusTotal and you need to pay for. Depending on your API Key and the access level granted you can use all of the above functions, all but the ones reserved for AV companies, or just the public ones (if you have a free publich API key).
Check out the README.md file in the SampleClients directory to find out how to set-up your API key in order to use the provided Example programs.
govt was initially written by Willi Ballenthin. Later improved and new features added by Christopher 'tankbusta' Schmitt and Florian 'scusi' Walther
