Enrich, protect, and inform with Domain Reputation Data via API

Until recently, domain data from Spamhaus has been limited to categorizing a domain as either listed or not. But what if you require contextual insight into the reputation of that domain?

Introducing Domain Reputation Data via SIA

Compiled by industry-leading experts whose sole focus is evaluating the reputation of domains, the new dataset provides a wealth of domain-related signals for every domain Spamhaus researchers observe.

Available via Spamhaus Intelligence API (SIA), domains and their associated metadata are updated in real-time. The easy-to-access technology uses REST API using JSON format, seamlessly integrating into existing infrastructure, including threat intelligence platforms, websites, analysis, and reporting mechanisms.

Actionable domain data

Following an initial beta program in late 2022, testers voiced their need for further enhanced insights into the domains observed by Spamhaus. Now with access to over 12 different APIs, the multiple API calls expose actionable domain-related data, including:

• High-level domain data
• Reputation dimensions
• Domain contexts
• Domain listing data
• Domain senders data
• Nameserver reputation
• A Records reputation.
• Tags
• Clusters
• Hostnames listed
• Malware

A detailed description of all these APIs can be found in our technical documentation [https://docs.spamhaus.com/sia/docs/source/10-API-Interface/310-Domains-v2.html#domain-general ].  Users can build a clear and tailored picture, specific to their requirements, by leveraging the breadth of actionable contextual data.

Who can use the data?

Anyone who needs further context around the reputation of a domain, notably security professionals including product developers or security analysts, and deliverability specialists.

Whether used for vetting, aiding investigations, monitoring trends, informing decisions, or more in-depth reporting, security and deliverability professionals can enhance their data sources or directly consume the rich metadata to reinforce their existing infrastructure.
