# Assign websites to a Malware Scanner global configuration

POST https://api.modulards.com/api/public/v1/preset-malware-scans/{preset_malware_scan}/sites/sync
Content-Type: application/json

Assigns the websites you list in `sites` to one Malware Scanner global configuration. The change is immediate: the answer lists the websites that changed and the ones left out, so there is nothing to follow up.

What happens to each website:
- A website with no Malware Scanner configuration gets this one, and the scanning provider registers it in the background. A website that used another one moves to this one and takes its tier (the premium tier is metered per website and per month, with no websites included in the plan); if it was already registered, its plan is updated with the provider.
- Every assigned website is left with scanning enabled, even if it was paused. To change the configuration of one website and keep it paused, use "Update a website's Malware Scanner settings" instead.
- Websites you do not list are never unassigned: a website leaves a configuration by moving to another one.
- A website that already uses this configuration (`ALREADY_APPLIED`), or that your token cannot reach (`PERMISSION_DENIED`, with a null `site_name`), is reported in `meta.skipped` with a `reason_code` and a message instead of failing the call.

Each website in `meta.updated` carries `site_preset_malware_scan_id`, the id that "Retrieve a website's Malware Scanner settings" and "Update a website's Malware Scanner settings" take.

**Body**
- `sites` (array of integers, required): ids of the websites to act on, 1 to 50.

**Errors**
- **403**: the configuration is premium and the organization has not subscribed the add-on. The same gate guards creating or updating one directly.
- **422**: an id that is not a website.

## Authentication

- `Authorization` header (bearer token, required) — Personal access token created in the Modular DS dashboard; read-only tokens can only call GET endpoints.

## Request

### Path parameters

- `preset_malware_scan` (string, required)

### Body (application/json)

This endpoint expects an object.

- `sites` (list of double, optional)

## Response

### 200

200 - Websites assigned, one skipped

- `jsonapi` (ApiPublicV1PresetMalwareScansPresetMalwareScanSitesSyncPostResponsesContentApplicationJsonSchemaJsonapi, optional)
- `meta` (ApiPublicV1PresetMalwareScansPresetMalwareScanSitesSyncPostResponsesContentApplicationJsonSchemaMeta, optional)

## Types

### ApiPublicV1PresetMalwareScansPresetMalwareScanSitesSyncPostResponsesContentApplicationJsonSchemaJsonapi

- `version` (string, optional)

### ApiPublicV1PresetMalwareScansPresetMalwareScanSitesSyncPostResponsesContentApplicationJsonSchemaMeta

- `skipped` (list of ApiPublicV1PresetMalwareScansPresetMalwareScanSitesSyncPostResponsesContentApplicationJsonSchemaMetaSkippedItems, optional)
- `status` (enum, optional) — Outcome of the call: applied when at least one website changed, skipped when none did.
  - Allowed values: `applied`, `skipped`
- `updated` (list of ApiPublicV1PresetMalwareScansPresetMalwareScanSitesSyncPostResponsesContentApplicationJsonSchemaMetaUpdatedItems, optional)

### ApiPublicV1PresetMalwareScansPresetMalwareScanSitesSyncPostResponsesContentApplicationJsonSchemaMetaSkippedItems

- `message` (string, optional) — Human-readable explanation.
- `reason_code` (enum, optional) — Why it was left out: ALREADY_APPLIED or PERMISSION_DENIED.
  - Allowed values: `ALREADY_APPLIED`, `PERMISSION_DENIED`
- `site_id` (integer, optional) — Id of a website left out.
- `site_name` (string, optional, nullable) — Name of that website; null when the id is outside your token's reach.
- `site_preset_malware_scan_id` (integer, optional, nullable) — The website's settings id when it has one; null otherwise.

### ApiPublicV1PresetMalwareScansPresetMalwareScanSitesSyncPostResponsesContentApplicationJsonSchemaMetaUpdatedItems

- `site_id` (integer, optional) — Id of a website that changed.
- `site_name` (string, optional) — Name of that website.
- `site_preset_malware_scan_id` (integer, optional) — Id of the website's Malware Scanner settings, the id "Retrieve a website's Malware Scanner settings" takes.
