IPQS URL checker is a powerful threat intelligence tool that can detect phishing links, malware and low reputation domains used for fraudulent behavior. It is designed to quickly scan and analyze suspicious links with a faster detection rate than other web safety checker services. This enables you to prevent clicks on suspicious and harmful URLs.
IPQualityScore URL checker uses 100% proprietary data and AI algorithms to provide trusted accuracy when analyzing links. This gives you a more accurate view of your risk profile than relying on other popular services like Google Safe Browsing.
Easily detect and block malicious links using the IPQualityScore URL checker scanner with real-time URL scanning through an API request, directly in your SOAR, backend or third party security platform. The API allows you to retrieve risk scores for all types of malicious websites, phishing sites, parked domains, and other dangerous URLs in seconds.
Requires a valid URL that can be retrieved with an HTTPS request. The API also supports a ‘Fast’ parameter to increase speed and provide faster response times using lighter checks and analysis.
In addition, the API allows you to create custom rules that can be used to automatically block links with certain parameters met or red flags detected. For example, if an IP is known for recently abused behavior, create a rule that blocks links with the “recently-abused” risk score value.
The IPQS URL checker can identify a wide variety of malicious links, including command and control (C2) sites that allow hackers to communicate with zombies, botnets and other remote servers. Moreover, it can accurately detect C2 servers used for malware and phishing.
Our URL detection technology can also quickly identify and block spoofed or redirect links that are being used for spam and fraudulent purposes. It also accurately recognizes parked domains, which can represent a large percentage of all active domains online and often indicate bogus or spoofed websites.
Parked domains are commonly spelled similarly to brand names with small typos that confuse consumers and can even contain disposable email addresses or other services to facilitate fraud. These domains can also contain phishing links that are being used to steal passwords and other valuable information.
Unlike most other malicious URL checking tools, the IPQS API is fully configurable and can be easily integrated with your business logic to make decisions about suspicious links. It also includes a risk score that estimates the confidence level for malicious URL detection.
Premium Account Feature
The IPQS URL checker can detect and alert on the presence of bots or non-human traffic that is currently engaging in automated fraudulent behavior. It can also determine how frequently the IP address has engaged in abuse within the past few days or weeks, as well as the connection type. This information can be used to help protect your business from chargebacks, compromised devices, fake app installs and more.
