1.3 What do I get?

Crowd Source Reputation
Our dedicated community of millions of users rates thousands of websites every day. Enjoy the wisdom of our users to get reputation score for more than 56M websites.

Threats Identification
WOT’s rating system computes threat categories for websites based on votes from users and third parties. Category data helps to understand the reason behind the poor reputation and distinguish between different type of threats.

Third - Party Blacklists
WOT is connected to several third parties that provide additional information on top of WOT’s community, to give an additional layer of trust.

 Note: Any previous public APIs that did not require registration are deprecated and may have stricter rate limits applied to them. If your requests to these APIs return HTTP status code 429, you should migrate to public_link_json2.
