Package safebrowsing implements a client for the Safe Browsing API v4. API v4 emphasizes efficient usage of the network for bandwidth-constrained applications such as mobile devices. It achieves this by maintaining a small portion of the server state locally such that some queries can be answered immediately without any network requests. Thus, fewer API calls made, means less bandwidth is used. At a high-level, the implementation does the following: Essentially the query is presented to three major components: The database, the cache, and the API. Each of these may satisfy the query immediately, or may say that it does not know and that the query should be satisfied by the next component. The goal of the database and cache is to satisfy as many queries as possible to avoid using the API. Starting with a user query, a hash of the query is performed to preserve privacy regarded the exact nature of the query. For example, if the query was for a URL, then this would be the SHA256 hash of the URL in question. Given a query hash, we first check the local database (which is periodically synced with the global Safe Browsing API servers). This database will either tell us that the query is definitely safe, or that it does not have enough information. If we are unsure about the query, we check the local cache, which can be used to satisfy queries immediately if the same query had been made recently. The cache will tell us that the query is either safe, unsafe, or unknown (because the it's not in the cache or the entry expired). If we are still unsure about the query, then we finally query the API server, which is guaranteed to return to us an authoritative answer, assuming no networking failures.
