SpyCloud

SpyCloud is an Austin, Texas based identity threat protection company that operates one of the largest repositories of recaptured darknet data — breach records, infostealer malware logs, phishing captures and combolists — and exposes it programmatically through a family of high-volume REST APIs. Security, fraud, identity and investigations teams query recaptured credentials, session cookies, exposed PII and infected-device telemetry to prevent account takeover, ransomware, session hijacking and online fraud. The public API surface spans nine separately-licensed products: Enterprise (Employee) ATO Prevention, Consumer ATO Prevention, Cybercrime Investigations, Data Partnership, IDLink identity correlation, Compromised Credit Card, Prospecting, NIST Password check, and Session Identity Protection. All are REST/JSON, authenticated with an x-api-key header, IP allow-listed, cursor-paginated at 1,000 records per page, and backed by a 99.9% uptime SLA.

SpyCloud publishes 7 API contracts indexed on the APIs.io network, including Breach API, Check API, Compass API, and 4 more. Tagged areas include Cybersecurity, Threat Intelligence, Identity, Fraud Prevention, and Account Takeover.

SpyCloud’s developer surface includes authentication, documentation, API reference, getting-started guide, support, engineering blog, pricing, and 30 more developer resources.

Regulatory Posture applies to this provider. Its tags matched the Horizontal (data, software, accessibility, platform) regime, so Regulatory Posture carries 15 points of the composite. If this regime is wrong for your business, say so on your provider repo — the applicability map is public and we will correct it.

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.

The six quality facets above are damped to 75 points between them, because the conditional facet above carries the other 25. That is why each facet's contribution is shown against a damped maximum: raising a quality facet moves the composite by 75% of its nominal weight, not 100%. The full arithmetic is at apis.io/rating/.

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/spycloud: open an issue to ask a question, or submit a pull request to add artifacts.
