Domain Intelligence API • Live on Bitcoin mainnet

Get a full domain report in one call.

Query DNS, WHOIS, TLS, headers, email auth, nameserver and mail host intel, parsed security.txt disclosure metadata, parsed robots.txt crawl metadata, improved tech fingerprints, HTTP redirect and final-page behavior, CT-log subdomains, provider detection, network summary, light subdomain hints, findings, recommendations, and an optional AI summary. Built for agents, security review, and fast attack-surface checks.

What It Does

ArkAPI Domain Intel combines the most useful domain checks into one structured response. Instead of calling DNS, WHOIS, SSL, headers, email-auth, disclosure-policy, crawl-policy, lightweight fingerprinting, and certificate-history lookups one by one, you can request a single report that summarizes the technical footprint and highlights actionable issues.

AI Summary Option

If you set ai_summary to true, ArkAPI appends a concise AI-written interpretation of the report. The structured data stays intact, and the summary is just an extra layer for faster human review or agent narration.

Who It Is For

Domain Intel is built for workflows where one domain needs enough context to decide the next action quickly.

  • Security teams doing first-pass asset review
  • Agents building a domain profile before outreach or triage
  • Developers checking DNS, TLS, email auth, and disclosure posture before launch
  • Analysts who want structured JSON instead of a pile of unrelated CLI output

Why One Call Helps

A single response keeps agent context small and keeps billing predictable. Lighter endpoints are still available when you only need one slice of the report.

  • One 25-sat call instead of stitching many small calls together
  • Consistent keys for dashboards and automations
  • Optional AI summary without losing raw structured findings
  • 24-hour cache for repeated checks during the same review

Example Request

curl -X POST https://arkapi.dev/api/domain-intel \ -H "Authorization: Bearer ak_your_token" \ -H "Content-Type: application/json" \ -d '{"domain":"example.com","ai_summary":true}' | jq

Use a funded token from the Fund page. The same request body also works from agents that consume /openapi.json.

Example Body

{ "domain": "example.com", "ai_summary": true }

Input notes

  • domain is required
  • ai_summary is optional
  • Reports are cached for 24 hours

Example Response

The full sample response is published as plain text so this page stays readable.

The sample uses neutral example.com-based data and shows the response shape, including nameserver and mail-host intel.

Good Targets

Pair this with IP Intel when you want a quick reputation and ASN view of the resolved infrastructure, or use IP Lookup and IP Abuse Check separately for lighter enrichment.
