How the API Works
The FilterID Web Threat Intelligence and Protection API operates on a simple request-response model. Here’s a general overview of how it works:
- Your application sends a request to our API with a URL, domain, or IP address you want to check.
- Our system quickly checks the provided information against our extensive threat database.
- The API analyzes the data, considering factors such as known threats, content categories, and other relevant information.
- Within milliseconds, the API returns a detailed response with threat information and categorization data.
- Based on the API response, your application can take appropriate action, such as blocking access to a malicious site or displaying a warning to users.
This process happens in real-time, allowing for immediate protection against potential threats.
API Response Data
Our API provides rich, actionable data in each response. While the exact format and fields may vary depending on your specific implementation, you can generally expect to receive information such as:
- A threat score indicating the level of potential danger associated with the queried URL or domain
- Specific categories of threats detected (e.g., malware, phishing, spam)
- Content categories describing the type of content found on the website
- Additional metadata about the URL or domain, such as its registration date or hosting location
