        #aurl

Pivot to created inet:dns:a nodes:

> inet:fqdn#aurl -> inet:dns:a

Pivot to created inet:urlredir nodes:

> inet:fqdn#aurl -> inet:urlredir:src:fqdn

Use of meta:source nodes

Synapse-URLScan uses a meta:source node and -(seen)> light weight edges to track nodes observed from the URLScan API.

> meta:source=bc2da0701447a730af49d5a2beb68607
meta:source=bc2da0701447a730af49d5a2beb68607
        .created = 2024/04/22 20:07:15.514
        :name = urlscan api

Storm can be used to filter nodes to include/exclude nodes which have been observed by Synapse-URLScan. The following example shows how to filter the results of a query to include only results observed by Synapse-URLScan:

> inet:url=https://time.gov -> inet:urlredir +{ <(seen)- meta:source=bc2da0701447a730af49d5a2beb68607 }
