What is WhoisXML API Enterprise API and Data Feed Packages?

About WhoisXML API

WhoisXML API’s Enterprise API Packages and Data Feed Packages provide comprehensive, historical, and real-time domain, IP, and cyber intelligence. With API packages, enterprises, managed security providers, and security solutions vendors can stay one step ahead of potential security threats before they can wreak havoc on their own, or clients’, networks.


Enhances Cyber Defense

The Enterprise API and Data Feed Packages provide parsed and normalized data from connected WHOIS, IP geolocation, IP netblocks, and DNS databases. This repository of information offers users real-time intelligence that is critical in conducting cybersecurity research and investigation, threat hunting, and incident response.

Protects Against Infringement and Fraud

The Enterprise Packages include Brand Alert API and Typosquatting Data Feed to alert users of instances in which third-party entities may attempt to mimic their brands. That allows them to protect customers and partners from attacks such as phishing, spoofing, and typosquatting.


Multiple Capabilities and Domain and IP Insights

The variety of domain research and monitoring APIs included in the packages such as Registrant Alert, Brand Alert, WHOIS History, Reverse IP/DNS, Reverse MX, and Reverse NS can significantly enhance existing platforms and applications. Exhaustive data help keep a close watch on every network stakeholder and avoid ties to malicious activities no matter where they come from.

Enterprise API and Data Feed Packages help improve our cybersecurity posture

Larice Lohan
Digital Media Supervisor in Professional Services at Techslang (11-50 employees employees)

Pros

  • The APIs connect to massive WHOIS, IP geolocation, netblocks, and DNS databases, allowing us to scan an enormous chunk of the Internet for potentially harmful IP addresses and domains.
  • Email Verification API, in particular, is useful for us. It helps us avoid dealing with potential threat actors using fake or disposable email addresses.
  • The databases are results of at least a decade of crawling the Web for all relevant data. Careful parsing and structuring also make them easier to feed as threat intelligence and marketing data sources for our existing solutions.
  • Domain Reputation API is also useful as it immediately lets us know if a domain or IP can be trusted or not just based on its reputation score. Deep technical know-how is not required.

Cons

  • 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.

Return on Investment

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

Good packages to enhance our data

Anna Dalinova
Senior Analyst in Information Technology at Ipify (11-50 employees employees)

Pros

  • 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.

Cons

  • Like most WHOIS sources, a lot of the new records have been redacted for privacy. That sometimes poses problems but the access to historical records helps somewhat.

Return on Investment

  • The ability to cross-check data makes our own info more valuable and accurate
  • Enterprise packages are available at a cheaper price than their individual counterparts.
  • Can't hardly think of a minus, data is well-parsed and easy to use.
