Domain Blacklist API Search

[AtomicRax]

I've set up my website to automatically link any posted URLs.. however, I want to check to see if the domain is blacklisted somewhere for spam, fraud, etc, and then alert the user before they continue to the website..

 

Does anyone know of an API I can use to search for this?

 

I know I can manually search websites like http://www.spamhaus.org/ for blacklisted information, but what I'm looking for is something where my script can automatically query http://somewebsite.com/blaclistapi?domain=otherdomain.com and it would return information if the domain is blacklisted or not..

 

Anyone know of any resources like this?

or do I need to find the domain's IP address and then query it that way? Either way is fine because I think there's an easy way to do that in php.. also, I'd prefer free lookups.. not wanting to pay for this service..

I know it's been a while since someone replied to this topic, so I apologize. But maybe someone gets here from Google (like I just did). So I wanted to let you know about a new API function we just released http://whoapi.com/api-domain-blacklist.html Which is precisely what AtomicRax was looking for.

 

Basically we let you querry as many domains as you want to watch, and when some of them ends up blacklisted, you can find out. If you want a free start/test, just send us an email, and tell us you found out about this on PHP freaks!
