SecurityTrails API
Stay up-to-date with your domain and IP intelligence.
This API is best for staying up to date with domain and IP intelligence.
Developers should use this API because it allows them to stay up to date with their domain and IP intelligence, providing access to massive databases, whois data, historical DNS data, subdomain discovery, and DNS analytics. This would be useful for building automated tools that require up to date data on domains, as well as enhanced security features and features related to monitoring cyber threats.
Key features
- Real-time access to massive databases
- whois data
- historical DNS data
- subdomain discovery
- and DNS analytics.
Potential use cases
- Automated Domain Monitoring: Using the SecurityTrails API, a developer could automate their domain monitoring process by regularly checking domain whois data and current DNS records for any changes for their client’s website. Alerts and notifications can be set up for any changes.
- Security Threat Monitoring: Using the SecurityTrails API, a developer could create various tools for monitoring security threats. For example, they could create an alert to check if any new domains have an identical DNS structure to their customers’, which would be an indicator of potential cyber attacks.
- Real-Time IP Monitoring: Using the SecurityTrails API, a developer could set up IP monitoring to track the usage of certain IP addresses and lookup historical IP address trends. This could be useful for finding potential malicious actors or threats on a specific IP address or IP range.
SecurityTrails API saved me and my team an incredible amount of time and resources. We needed real-time access to a massive database and the SecurityTrails API gave us exactly that. It's such a great tool!
