Domain Reputation

Reputation Parameters

Parameters Description
domain Required. Input domain for which the risk score is desired. Note that if you provide a hostname (e.g. www.domaintools.com) rather than a domain (e.g. domaintools.com) we will attempt to return the risk score for the domain, and the domain we used to lookup the risk score will always be returned in the response.
include_reasons Return a list of reasons for the risk score determination. Valid values are true or false.

Sample Response

 {
    response: {
      domain: 'domaintools.com',
      risk_score: 21.13,
      reasons: ['registrant']
    }
  }

The risk_score returned ranges from 0 (least risk) to 100 (known risk). The reasons array can contain the responses 'blocklist', 'dns', 'realtime', 'registrant', or 'zerolist'.

Consult the Domain Risk Score documentation for more information on interpreting risk scores.
