We’re expanding our global footprint, and are excited to announce the general availability of our new Asia Pacific regional endpoint for Verisys Antivirus API! The new endpoint is located at https://ap1.api.av.ionxsolutions.com/v1, and is available to all Verisys Antivirus API customers, bringing the same high-quality malware and content scanning capabilities you rely on - now closer to your users in the Asia-Pacific region.

Why a Local APAC Endpoint Matters

• Reduced Latency: Scanning files closer to where they are located reduces network round-trips. This means faster scan results and a more responsive experience for your content originating from across Asia and Oceania.

• Data Sovereignty: Many customers in the Asia-Pacific region operate under data residency, privacy, or sector-specific regulations. A regional endpoint helps organisations keep file-scanning local where required, better aligning with data residency and compliance needs.

How to Start Using It

Simply use the new regional endpoint in your API calls: https://ap1.api.av.ionxsolutions.com/v1.

All features - malware scanning, NSFW detection, and content-type detection - are fully supported, and your existing API keys will work without change.
