Kount Risk Inquiry Service (RIS) API

The Risk Inquiry Service (RIS) is Kount's legacy RESTful API for transaction risk evaluation. RIS joins device data from the JavaScript Data Collector with merchant-supplied order data, scores each transaction, and returns Approve, Decline, or Review responses. Transactions continue to be evaluated and re-scored for up to fourteen days. Sub-resources cover VIP lists (card, email, device, address, payment, gift, UDF), order detail, refund/chargeback (RFCB), and 3DS transaction tagging. Test endpoint api.test.kount.net/rpc/v1 and production api.kount.net/rpc/v1.
