# Project Honey Pot

**Website:** https://projecthoneypot.org/  
**APIs profiled:** 1

Project Honey Pot operates a collaborative anti‑spam network that tracks online fraud and abuse. By deploying “honeypot” traps on participating websites, it gathers data on malicious IP addresses, email harvesters, and spammers. The collected intelligence is made available via a public HTTP:BL DNS‑based API, allowing website owners and security tools to query the reputation of IPs in real time. The service aims to reduce spam, phishing, and other abusive activities across the web through community‑driven data sharing.
