ScanURL API allows you to analyze a URL by sending a simple HTTP request and receiving a structured security response. To get started, you only need:
  • an API key
  • a URL to analyze

​
Endpoint

POST https://api.scan-url.wowinfosolutions.com/api/apikey/v1/url-scan

​
Authentication

All requests must include your API key in the header: 
x-api-key: YOUR_API_KEY

​
Request Body

{
  "url": "https://www.facebook.com/"
}

​
Example Request

curl -X POST "https://api.scan-url.wowinfosolutions.com/api/apikey/v1/url-scan" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-H "x-api-key: YOUR_API_KEY" \
-d '{
  "url": "https://www.facebook.com/"
}'

​
Example Response

{
  "success": true,
  "data": {
    "status": "success",
    "final_verdict": "Trusted",
    "confidence": "high",
    "risk_score": 0
  }
}

​
Understanding the Response

  • success → API request status
  • data.status → scan execution status
  • final_verdict → URL safety classification
  • confidence → certainty level
  • risk_score → numerical risk (0 = safe, 1 = high risk)
For detailed fields, refer to the Response Structure section.

​
Response Time

  • Most scans complete within a few seconds
  • Complex URLs may take longer due to deep analysis

​
Security Note

  • Keep your API key secure
  • Do not expose it in frontend applications
  • Use it only from your backend or server
