Welcome to the urlscan-api wiki!

See the Custom Implementations wiki article here or find the code in our /examples/ folder here

Getting Started:

What is Urlscan?

From their website:

urlscan.io is a service to scan and analyse websites. When a URL is submitted to urlscan.io, an automated process will browse to the URL like a regular user and record the activity that this page navigation creates. This includes the domains and IPs contacted, the resources (JavaScript, CSS, etc) requested from those domains, as well as additional information about the page itself. urlscan.io will take a screenshot of the page, record the DOM content, JavaScript global variables, cookies created by the page, and a myriad of other observations.

We use urlscan for another project that I help to contribute to called etherscamdb.info as it can be used for detection and archival of phishing and scam domains.
