Digital Shadows

Digital Shadows is a London-founded digital risk protection (DRP) company whose SearchLight platform monitors the open, deep and dark web for data leakage, exposed credentials, brand impersonation, exposed infrastructure and threat-actor activity affecting a customer's organization. ReliaQuest acquired Digital Shadows in July 2022 and the entity now trades as ReliaQuest UK Limited, with SearchLight folded into ReliaQuest GreyMatter Digital Risk Protection. The SearchLight Portal API remains live at portal-digitalshadows.com/api/ and is consumed by first-party tooling (the shadowline Python CLI and the Splunk SOAR connector) and by a wide third-party integration surface (Cortex XSOAR, ThreatConnect, Splunk, Sekoia, Axonius, TheHive, Atlassian Marketplace). The API reference itself is published only inside the authenticated customer portal.

Digital Shadows publishes 1 API on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Company, Cybersecurity, Threat Intelligence, Digital Risk Protection, and Dark Web Monitoring.

Digital Shadows’ developer surface includes developer portal, engineering blog, CLI, authentication, and 16 more developer resources.

scored 2026-09-08 · rubric v0.20.0
Create-or-Update Ergonomics could not be measured. We hold no machine-readable contract for this provider to read, so there is nothing to measure a write surface against. Excluded rather than scored zero: never-measured and measured-empty are different facts. Publishing an OpenAPI is what makes this facet — and several others — scorable at all.
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/digital-shadows: open an issue to ask a question, or submit a pull request to add artifacts.

  description: The Digital Shadows SearchLight Portal API — the REST surface behind the SearchLight / GreyMatter DRP portal.
    Exposes incidents, intelligence incidents, intelligence threats, data breaches and breach usernames, DNS and domain WHOIS
    lookups, IP WHOIS, exposed infrastructure (ports, SSL, vulnerabilities), IOC retrieval, and a cross-entity search endpoint.
    Authenticated with HTTP Basic using a portal-issued API key and secret; versioned through a vendor media type (application/vnd.polaris-vNN+json).
    The reference is published inside the authenticated portal under Portal > SearchLight API doc, so there is no public OpenAPI
    or reference page.
