Domain Reputation API v2

The v2 API version differs from the v1 only in the output format.

Evaluate a domain's reputation based on numerous security data sources as well as on an instant host's audit procedure. For a given domain name or IPv4 address, collect and evaluate over 120 parameters and calculate the resulting reputation score.

Input parameters

---

Parameter	Type	What it means
domainName (required)	string	The target domain name or IPv4 address.
apiKey (required)	string	Get your personal API KEY on My subscriptions page.
mode (optional)	string	TIP can check the domain specified in two modes: "fast" (default). Only select test codes will run — i.e., 62 WHOIS Domain status, 82 Malware Databases check, 87 SSL certificate validity, and 93 WHOIS Domain check—while other tests and data collectors will be disabled. "full". All tests will be performed, similar to what the TIP GUI displays.
