Introducing iQ Domain Intelligence Platform

A Single Source of Truth for Domains

Domain intelligence is the fuel that powers modern security, compliance, and infrastructure platforms. Whether it is your provisioning system, support dashboard, BI tool, or compliance platform, your software constantly needs answers: Is this domain registered? Who controls it? What is the DNS setup? What is hosted on it right now?

Most teams solve this by stitching together a patchwork of WHOIS services, DNS tools, and screenshot APIs. It works, but it is fragile, slow, and hard to scale.

Unlike point solutions that require separate integrations, or static platforms with fixed feature sets, the iQ Domain Intelligence Platform replaces that patchwork with a central hub for domain data. It delivers comprehensive intelligence in one call and continuously expands based on evolving threats and customer needs.

At iQ, every product we build, from abuse management to AI services, calls this platform whenever it needs to understand a domain. It coordinates a wide variety of specialized collectors into a single pipeline, transforming any domain name into a complete intelligence profile in seconds.

Now we are making that platform available as a commercial service.

Think of it as domain intelligence as a service: one dedicated API you call whenever you need to know exactly what a domain is, how it is configured, and what it is doing. Built by industry experts who respects the internet infrastructure, and carries out data collection in accordance to best practices.

Built to Power Our Own Products

The platform was not built as a product first. It was built because we needed a central, trustworthy domain intelligence service for everything iQ does. Not to scrape the entire internet, but to provide domain name intelligence on demand. Exactly that which is needed, when it is needed.

Instead of each product calling different external APIs or maintaining its own set of scripts, we standardized on one platform:

• iQ Abuse Manager automatically enriches every incoming abuse case with screenshots, DNS, registration, and risk scoring, no analyst action required.
• iQ Inbound Reports validates and assesses thousands of reported domains daily using the same intelligence pipeline.
• iQ AI Services rely on the platform for training data and real-time enrichment across millions of domain records.
• Internal portfolio tools monitor domain status, configuration drift, and expiration across large registrar portfolios.

That centralization is the real value:

• Intelligence is consistent across products.
• Integrations are simpler: one API, not five.
• New capabilities (like a new collector) instantly benefit all downstream services.
• Reactors automate workflows that previously required manual intervention.

Now you can plug into that same hub.

What You Get in a Single API Call

Every domain query can trigger multi-dimensional analysis. You choose how deep to go: everything by default, or just the collectors you need.

In one response, you can get:

DNS and Infrastructure

• A, AAAA, MX, NS, TXT, SOA, CNAME, and DS records, among others.
• Mail configuration and SPF/DMARC/verification TXT records
• DNSSEC status, Name servers, and Resolution State
• Infrastructure signals that reveal where and how the domain is hosted

Registration Intelligence

• Registrar, Creation, Update and Expiration dates, status flags
• Nameservers and delegation details
• RDAP JSON for modern, structured registration data
• RDAP primary with Whois fallback

Web and Security Posture

• HTTP/HTTPS headers, redirects, and response behavior
• TLS/SSL certificate details (issuer, algorithm, validity)
• Detected technologies and CDN usage
• Security-relevant headers and configuration

Visual Intelligence (Screenshots)

• Full-page screenshots so you can see exactly what the domain displays
• Optimized thumbnails and hero images for quick review and reporting
• Smart defaults that hide cookie banners, block ads, and dismiss popups, so evidence is clean and readable

Reputation and Risk

• Reputation and ranking signals from multiple sources
• AI-powered risk scoring with explainable reasoning
• Boolean flags for quick decisions (isRegistered, hasNS, isResolving, isSigned, etc.)

Infrastructure Footprint and Providers

• Subdomain discovery to reveal the broader infrastructure footprint
• Hosting, CDN, and email provider intelligence
• Pointers to related services, APIs, and monitoring infrastructure

Content and Historical Intelligence

• Web content analysis, metadata extraction, and framework detection
• Archive artifacts (WARC/WET/WAT) suitable for investigations and compliance
• Point-in-time snapshots for historical analysis

All of this comes back in a single, consistent JSON response, organized by collector, timestamped, and ready for your systems to consume.

From Intelligence to Action

Most platforms stop at telling you what they found. That leaves you with the heavy lifting: reading reports, creating tickets, and making decisions.

We believe intelligence without action is just data.

That is why we built the Reactor System, an event-driven engine that turns findings into automated workflows. It does not just flag problems; it starts solving them.

For example:

Brand Protection Automation
Instead of just alerting you to a copycat site, the platform detects the high visual similarity (>85%) and automatically generates an evidence report, flags it for legal review, and queues the takedown request.

Support Ticket Enrichment
Instead of your support team manually looking up domain details, the platform intercepts the new ticket, checks if you are the sponsoring registrar, and instantly populates the ticket with current status and DNS health before an agent even opens it.

Partner Compliance Enforcement
Instead of chasing resellers for misconfigurations, the platform detects the policy violation (e.g., missing abuse contacts) and automatically notifies the partner, tracks their resolution time, and logs it for your quarterly review.

Custom Logic for Your Business
You can build custom reactors to integrate with your specific stack, whether that is creating Jira tickets, triggering PagerDuty incidents, or pushing data to your SIEM.

This shifts your team from data collectors to decision makers.

Time Travel for Domains

Every query creates a timestamped snapshot, a complete intelligence record you can compare against future analyses.

• Change detection: Know exactly when DNS records, SSL certificates, or website content changed.
• Timeline reconstruction: Build complete evidence trails showing a domain's evolution.
• Compliance and legal: Timestamped, immutable proof of what a domain displayed at any point in time.
• Proactive monitoring: Set up reactors to take daily snapshots and alert you to changes.

No more "they changed it after we reported it" problems. You have the receipts.

Ready for Real Workloads

The platform is built to handle serious production workloads. It supports diverse access patterns to match your operational needs:

• Real-time Lookups: Get instant answers for interactive tools and dashboards.
• Batch Processing: Queue thousands of domains asynchronously and retrieve results when ready.
• Bulk Export: Pull large datasets in JSON or CSV for downstream processing and reporting.

If you are already running at scale, or expect to, the platform is designed to keep up.

Flexible by Design

Not every workflow needs every collector. Sometimes you just need a quick registration check; other times you want the full picture with screenshots and subdomain discovery. The platform gives you precise control over how much intelligence you pull on each call. You can:

• Run lightweight checks that only look at DNS and registration when you are screening large portfolios
• Ask for a full profile including screenshots, subdomain discovery, and risk scoring when you are investigating something suspicious
• Turn specific collectors on or off so you skip what you do not need for a given workflow

This matters for cost and performance, but also for AI agents: you do not have to flood an agent's context window with every possible field when it only needs a handful of data points to make a decision. Instead, you can shape the response to the task: broad for human analysis, focused and compact for automated or AI-driven workflows.

Built for the AI Era

While the REST API is perfect for traditional integration, the platform also supports the next generation of security tools.

The platform is available as an MCP (Model Context Protocol) server, allowing AI agents to query it directly without custom API wrappers.

• Security AI assistants can enrich alerts with full domain context in one step.
• Investigation agents can pull screenshots, DNS, and registration data autonomously.
• Research agents can access historical snapshots to reason about timeline changes.

You do not have to use AI to benefit from the platform, but if you are building agentic workflows, the integration is already done for you.

Who It Is For

The platform is designed for anyone who needs reliable answers about domains, but several groups tend to feel the pain most acutely:

• Registries and Registrars who need consistent, up-to-date intelligence across large portfolios, including hold statuses, DNS configuration, and abuse indicators.
• Hosting providers and infrastructure companies who want to understand what is actually running on the domains they host, and detect problems earlier.
• SOC analysts and threat hunters who need fast, unified intelligence to investigate suspicious domains without juggling five different tools.
• Abuse desks and trust and safety teams who need screenshots, registration data, and risk assessments to handle reports efficiently.
• Security vendors and platform builders who want to embed domain intelligence into their own products without building and maintaining all of this themselves.
• Investors and M&A teams who need to validate portfolio quality, traffic potential, and risk exposure before acquiring a registry, registrar, or domain portfolio.
• Autonomous AI Agents that need structured, reliable data to perform security tasks without human oversight.

Whether you live inside the domain industry or operate adjacent to it, the questions you need to answer about domains are remarkably similar. The difference is how much effort you are currently spending to get those answers.
