Introduction
In this tutorial we learn how to install libnet-google-safebrowsing2-perl on Debian 9.
What is libnet-google-safebrowsing2-perl
libnet-google-safebrowsing2-perl is:
The library passes most of the unit tests listed in the API documentation. See the documentation (http://code.google.com/apis/safebrowsing/developers_guide_v2.html) for more details about the failed tests.
The Google Safe Browsing database must be stored and managed locally. Net::Google::SafeBrowsing2::Sqlite uses Sqlite as the storage back-end, Net::Google::SafeBrowsing2::MySQL uses MySQL. Other storage mechanisms (databases, memory, etc.) can be added and used transparently with this module.
You may want to look at “Google Safe Browsing v2: Implementation Notes” (http://www.zscaler.com/research/Google%20Safe%20Browsing%20v2%20API.pdf), a collection of notes and real-world numbers about the API. This is intended for people who want to learn more about the API, whether as a user or to make their own implementation.
The source code is available on github at https://github.com/juliensobrier/Net-Google-SafeBrowsing2.
If you do not need to inspect more than 10,000 URLs a day, you can use Net::Google::SafeBrowsing2::Lookup with the Google Safe Browsing v2 Lookup API which does not require to store and maintain a local database.
IMPORTANT: If you start with an empty database, you will need to perform several updates to retrieve all the Google Safe Browsing information. This may require up to 24 hours. This is a limitation of the Google API, not of this module. See “Google Safe Browsing v2: Implementation Notes” at http://www.zscaler.com/research/Google%20Safe%20Browsing%20v2%20API.pdf.
