@voltan sorry I don't follow your question, are you saying the requests take potentially a long time to process and you are looking for ways to pull the results?

voltan commented 8 years ago

Yes

There are many different ways to go around it, just to name a few:

long polling
periodic job to refresh periodically (which you will need to maintain the url & result state and thus require some sort of persistent storage like db or redis)
wait & retry by increasing the wait time exponentially (back off algorithm)

This library is meant to simplify accessing virus total's api, these requirement goes beyond the design goal and you should implement it on your side.
