Anti-Malware — entry 015 of 15

Web of Trust

Verified Jul 2026

WOT (Web of Trust), now sold as a commercial "Safe Browsing API" by WOT Services, scores domains and IPs for phishing, malware, and other risk categories using threat data crowdsourced from over 56 million rated sites plus third-party feeds like PhishTank. The stored help-center URL for its API docs now sits behind a Cloudflare bot-fight challenge, so the entry was repointed to the current live developers page at mywot.com/developers; a live GET and OPTIONS preflight against the still-responding legacy api.mywot.com host both echoed the request Origin in Access-Control-Allow-Origin, resolving cors to yes. Pricing is now tiered and paid — plans start at $39/month for 10,000 calls, with only a 14-day trial rather than an ongoing free tier.
