Show HN: Sqreen API, a security toolbox for developers

We're excited to be launching the Sqreen API, which allows you to tap into our extensive database of malicious actors and activity to make your apps more secure and safer for your users.

The two endpoints we are releasing today allow you to tap into Sqreen's extensive database of bad actors and malicious behavior to discover whether an email or IP address poses a risk to your app. These endpoints can answer questions like: • Does that email address originate with an email anonymizer? • Is that IP address a Tor exit node? • Where is this user on the map? • Has this user ever been implicated in a known attack in the past?

Use this information to flag or screen signups to your service, to detect if unusual activity is originating from a suspicious address, and to generally arm yourself with additional risk assessment when you need it.

You can get started by creating an account if you don't have one, and either creating a new Developer Sandbox or using the API key assigned to your existing apps in Sqreen. https://my.sqreen.io/new-application

Once you've got an API key, head over to the documentation to see how to get started quickly. https://doc.sqreen.io/reference

Of course, we'll be watching here for your feedback and comments!

How are you curating this information?

How do you separate yourself from the existing hundreds of threat intelligence feeds already out there? (VirusTotal, PassiveTotal, Facebook ThreatExchange, Anomali, Taxii Stix, etc.)
