Kount Risk Inquiry Service (RIS) API is one of 3 APIs that [Kount](https://apis.io/providers/kount/) publishes on the [APIs.io](https://apis.io/) network. Tagged areas include Risk Inquiry, Transaction, VIP Lists, and Chargebacks. The published artifact set on APIs.io includes API documentation and an API reference.

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.
