  title: EmailRep Reports API
  version: '1.0'
  description: EmailRep is an email-address reputation and threat-intelligence API operated by Sublime Security, Inc. It crawls and enriches data across social media profiles, professional networking sites, dark-web credential leaks, data breaches, phishing kits, phishing emails, spam lists, open mail relays, spam traps, domain age and reputation, and deliverability signals to predict the risk associated with any email address. Callers issue a `GET /{email}` lookup to receive a reputation verdict, a `suspicious` flag, a `references` count, and a detailed signal block, or `POST /report` to submit observations of malicious email behavior back into the reputation graph.
