Digital Shadows

aid: digital-shadows
name: Digital Shadows
description: 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.

- name: SearchLight Portal API
  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.

  detail: STEP 0b run in full against every known host. No OpenAPI/Swagger at /openapi.json, /openapi.yaml, /swagger.json,
    /v1/openapi.json, /api-docs, /docs or /redoc on portal-digitalshadows.com (Angular SPA answers 200 with a 2,288-byte HTML
    shell for every path) or on the unattributed api.searchlight.app (401 JSON on every path). No GraphQL surface. No MCP
    server. No A2A agent card on either /.well-known/agent-card.json or the legacy /.well-known/agent.json — the portal's
    200s are SPA catch-alls, so nothing was written to a2a/. No AsyncAPI and no webhook surface; every published integration
    polls. The SearchLight API reference is served only inside the authenticated customer portal under Stored Objects > Portal
    > SearchLight API doc.
