Description

I might just be missing something obvious, but it doesn't look like there's an API endpoint for uploading data via a URL, only via a local file. In the web UI there's a call to urldownload -- but I don't see anything in the document or code about a corresponding API endpoint. Any tips?

Research direction
Check if an API endpoint for URL download exists in the viper codebase (e.g., in routes or modules). Review existing file upload endpoint for patterns. If missing, implement a new endpoint that accepts a URL and downloads the file to be analyzed. Consider using requests library. See comments for any additional guidance.
