Web of Trust

API

Reputation Check API for IPs, Domains & URLs (Anti-Malware Focus)

Overview

The Web of Trust API offers RESTful endpoints to query reputation data for IP addresses, domains, and URLs—critical for anti-malware and cybersecurity workflows. Responses are JSON-formatted, delivering trust scores, malware risk levels, phishing indicators, spam classifications, and safety ratings. Key use cases include integrating into browser security extensions, enhancing firewall rules with IP checks, validating domain safety for email filters, or scanning user-submitted URLs in apps. It requires an API key for access and supports standard HTTP GET methods for queries.
