AbuseIPDB vs NoPhishy
AbuseIPDB is a crowdsourced IP, domain, and URL reputation database where network operators report malicious activity like brute-force attempts, spam, and port scans. A live GET against the real gateway, api.abuseipdb.com/api/v2/check, returned a 401 with an invalid key rather than a CORS-enabled response, reconfirming API-key auth over HTTPS and resolving cors to no. A free Individual tier allows 1,000 checks a day forever with no card required, while paid Basic/Premium/Enterprise plans raise the daily ceiling for high-volume users.
NoPhishy (listed on RapidAPI as Exerra Phishing Check) queries a maintained database of 299,000+ known phishing domains, refreshed roughly every two hours, to flag whether a submitted URL or domain is a known phishing attempt. A live GET through the real RapidAPI gateway host with an invalid x-rapidapi-key returned a 403 rejection rather than a network-level block, reconfirming API-key auth over HTTPS, and Access-Control-Allow-Origin echoed the request's Origin on that same call. Like other RapidAPI-distributed APIs it offers a free Basic plan alongside paid tiers for higher request volumes.
