TCS Service Desk Outsourcing vs. WhoisXML API Enterprise API and Data Feed Packages

In general, the enterprise APIs are relevant for organizations that need access to various and compatible sources of domain and IP intelligence for a large number of queries. That is opposed to using each product in the packages separately, which is also possible but less advantageous when scaling up use. Similarly, the enterprise feed packages are useful for users who want access to various types of domain and IP data but prefer to avoid API calls. Users who only need access to one type of said data, however, may prefer not to use the package.

• The products allow us to validate the information from our own data-gathering efforts.
• Packages are customizable. Available credits can be used on any of the APIs. The databases come in a series of tiers for domain WHOIS data or IP data only or all-inclusive.
• The APIs and data feeds both enrich our data and help us protect our own network.
• Because the APIs give results in JSON and XML, we were able to make them work with our existing systems without hassle. The same is true for the data feeds as they are available in both JSON and CSV formats, which are suitable for pretty much any general or specialized software.

• It took us a bit of time to understand which APIs and feeds were the most relevant to us at first. Fortunately, documentation is available and someone from WhoisXML API helped us understand each service better.

There is not much to say here. The support team is accessible by email and phone. Upon purchasing the packages, the databases were promptly delivered to us and we didn't see the need to interact much with the support team.

• A better understanding of the high-level domain and IP spaces
• Detection and avoidance of dangerous threat actors
