A starting template for isMalicious. Replace ENDPOINT with the path from the official documentation, which we link above rather than guess at.

This API does not send CORS headers, so a browser will block a direct call from your front end. Call it from your server, or put a small proxy in front of it.

isMalicious — common questions

Answered from what our own scheduled checks found, not from the provider's marketing.

Is isMalicious free to use?

isMalicious is listed in our free catalogue, but it requires an API key, so you will need to register before your first call. Providers frequently reserve higher limits and commercial use for paid plans.

Does isMalicious need an API key?

Yes. isMalicious authenticates with an API key. Keep it server-side rather than in browser code, because anything in your frontend bundle is readable by anyone who opens developer tools.

Can I call isMalicious from browser JavaScript?

Not directly. isMalicious did not return CORS headers when we checked, so the browser will block your page from reading the response even though the request itself succeeds. Call it from a server, or put a small proxy in front of it.

Is isMalicious available over HTTPS?

Yes. isMalicious serves over HTTPS, so you can call it from a secure page without triggering a mixed-content block.
