CipherOwl

CipherOwl provides AI-powered security and compliance for institutional stablecoins and digital assets. Its Screening, Risk & Reporting (SRR) API turns a blockchain address into a compliance decision: real-time sanctions and risk screening, deterministic 0-100 risk scoring, categorized risk breakdowns, path-level exposure evidence (including cross-chain), and analyst-ready risk assessment, SAR, and risk-flow-graph reports across Bitcoin, EVM, Tron, Solana, XRP and more. The platform also offers an Onchain balance service and a Private Data override service, an OwlTrace research experience, a Strix AI investigation agent, and a first-party CLI (cipherowl-sr3) that doubles as a Model Context Protocol server. Authentication is OAuth 2.0 client-credentials.

CipherOwl publishes 3 APIs on the APIs.io network: Onchain Service API, Private Data API API, and SRR API API. Tagged areas include Blockchain, Compliance, Crypto, Security, and Risk.

CipherOwl’s developer surface includes documentation, API reference, getting-started guide, support, engineering blog, pricing, signup flow, and 24 more developer resources.

Create-or-Update Ergonomics applies to this provider. This API accepts writes, so it carries 10 points of the composite. It is scored from the published contracts themselves: whether a caller can create-or-update in one call, whether the write accepts a key the caller already holds, and whether the response says which branch ran. Without that, every write needs a search-and-branch in front of it, and the first time that check is skipped a duplicate record is created. Scored against the observed mean rather than raw — a provider at the catalog average is unchanged by this facet, not penalised by it.

Improve this rating by publishing the missing artifacts — every area above can be raised, and the full rubric is at apis.io/rating/. Every facet and dimension name above is a link: it opens that measurement's own page — what it means, the exact checks that feed it, how the whole catalog distributes on it, and the providers at the top of it. This rating is computed from github.com/api-evangelist/cipherowl: open an issue to ask a question, or submit a pull request to add artifacts.
