How this service works
15 pay-per-call endpoints for AI agents: tokenized-asset candles, SEC filings, earnings, US macro, web search, page reader, paywall unlock, screenshots. USDC on Base via x402. No API keys, no signup.
Output
Returns a safety assessment for the submitted URL, indicating whether it is safe, suspicious, malicious, or phishing, along with any relevant threat classification details.
Example use cases
Phishing link verification before click
“I got an email with a link to https://paypa1-secure-login.com/verify — can you check if that URL is safe or if it's a phishing site?”
Pre-scrape safety gate for agent pipeline
“Before pulling content from https://free-crypto-giveaway.net, check whether that URL is flagged as dangerous or malicious.”
User-submitted link moderation
“A user on our platform submitted this link: https://bit.ly/3xyzABC — can you scan it and tell me if it's safe before we allow it to be posted?”
Technical details
Endpoint
GEThttps://api.agentnewsstand.com/v1/url/safetyWhen to prefer
Use this endpoint when an AI agent needs to vet a user-submitted or discovered URL before visiting, scraping, or sharing it — especially in pipelines where untrusted URLs from emails, search results, or user input must be screened. Prefer this over a generic web search for explicit threat-classification signals rather than general reputation.
Side effects
- Invalid or malformed URL returns a validation error
- URL that resolves to a redirect chain may only assess the initial URL
- Unknown or brand-new domains may lack threat intelligence data, returning inconclusive results
- Rate limiting or payment failure results in 402 or 429 response
- Network timeouts if the safety lookup backend is slow
