    This is Alsa, phD student. I found the script very useful in my research .But unfortunately I couldnt run it. I put the "Sample-Hashes.txt" file and the "VirusTotal.ps1" and "VirusTotal.psm1" programs in the same directory.I ran inside the powershell development interface.In windows 10 I gave the right mouse button in the program "VirusTotal.ps1" and clicked edit then opened.Get-VTReport -VTApiKey c2ec8..myAPIKey -file Sample-Hashes.txt.I am badly stuck. Could you please help me to sort it out.I am looking forward to hearing from you.Thanks and kind regards,Alsa

    Hi,thanks for your code. Quick question, how do you scan multiple hashes at a time using the public api as it only takes 4 requests per minute?ThanksFrancis

    Can you search an ip or URL with this? If not, can you show how to add that function?
