# Domain Reputation & Tech-Stack Profiler (`limitless_can_p5z/domain-reputation-profiler`) Actor

Profile any domain with passive public lookups: DNS (A/AAAA/MX/NS/TXT), email-security posture (SPF/DMARC/DKIM), TLS certificate, HTTP redirects and security headers, plus server/CDN tech-stack fingerprinting. Returns a 0-100 security/reputation score per domain.

## What's an Apify Actor?

Actors are web data automations that power AI and operations. They run on the Apify platform to scrape websites, process data, connect APIs, and automate workflows.
In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours,
and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store.
In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server.
Actors are written with capital "A".

## How to integrate an Actor?

If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects.
You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready.
The best way to integrate Actors is as follows.

- **AI agents and MCP clients** — the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/integrations/mcp.md) at `https://mcp.apify.com` (remote, streamable HTTP, OAuth on first use).
- **Agentic workflows and local Actor development** — [Agent Skills](https://apify.com/.well-known/agent-skills/index.json) with the [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): `npm install -g apify-cli`, then `apify login`.
- **JavaScript/TypeScript projects** — the official [JS/TS client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md): `npm install apify-client`.
- **Python projects** — the official [Python client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md): `pip install apify-client`.
- **Any other language** — the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md).

For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below.

# README

## Domain Reputation & Tech-Stack Profiler

Passively profile any domain using **free, public network lookups** (no API
keys, no third-party services). Returns a structured JSON profile plus an
overall **0-100 security/reputation score** per domain.

- **DNS:** A / AAAA / MX / NS / TXT records
- **Email security posture:** SPF, DMARC, DKIM (from DNS)
- **TLS:** certificate issuer, validity window, verification status
- **HTTP:** status, redirect chain, security headers (HSTS, CSP,
  X-Frame-Options, X-Content-Type-Options, Referrer-Policy, Permissions-Policy)
- **Tech stack / CDN:** server header, framework hints (nginx/apache/Cloudflare/
  Akamai/Vercel/Netlify/etc.)

### Use cases

- KYB/KYC and vendor due-diligence enrichment (pair with a sanctions screen)
- Phishing / typosquat / brand-protection triage
- Infrastructure and technology profiling for OSINT and recon
- Security-header auditing before/after hardening

### Quick start

```bash
python3 -m venv .venv && . .venv/bin/activate
pip install -r requirements.txt
python -m src            # local test against example.com, github.com
```

### Input

| Field | Type | Default | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| `domains` | array of strings | (required) | One domain per item; bare domain or full URL accepted |
| `use_charges` | bool | `true` | Monetized PPE; set `false` for free/internal runs |

### Output

One JSON object per domain:

```json
{
  "domain": "github.com",
  "A": ["140.82.112.3"],
  "MX": ["aspmx.l.google.com"],
  "NS": ["dns1.p08.nsone.net"],
  "email_security": {"has_spf": true, "has_dmarc": true, "dkim_selectors_found": ["google"]},
  "http_profile": {"http_status": 200, "scheme": "https", "tls": {"verified": true, "issuer": "DigiCert"}, "security_headers": {"strict-transport-security": "..."}},
  "tech_stack": {"cdn": "Fastly", "framework_hints": []},
  "score": 85
}
```

### Notes

- Passive, non-intrusive lookups only. No authentication to targets.
- Performs one HTTPS GET per domain (records security headers/tech stack).
- Respects redirect chains (capped at 5) and 10s timeouts.
- DISCLAIMER: recon/screening aid; makes no legal determinations.

# Actor input Schema

## `domains` (type: `array`):

List of domains (one per item). Accepts bare domains or full URLs (scheme/path are stripped).

## `use_charges` (type: `boolean`):

Charge one 'domain-audit' event per profiled domain. Set false for free/internal runs.

## Actor input object example

```json
{
  "domains": [
    "example.com",
    "github.com"
  ],
  "use_charges": true
}
```

# Actor output Schema

## `results` (type: `string`):

JSON records, one per domain. Fields: domain, A, AAAA, MX, NS, TXT, email\_security{has\_spf,spf\_policy,has\_dmarc,dmarc\_policy,dkim\_selectors\_found}, http\_profile{http\_status,redirects,security\_headers,tls,server\_header}, tech\_stack{cdn,framework\_hints}, score (0-100).

# API

You can run this Actor programmatically using our API. Below are code examples in JavaScript, Python, and CLI, as well as the OpenAPI specification and MCP server setup.

## JavaScript example

```javascript
import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client';

// Initialize the ApifyClient with your Apify API token
// Replace the '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>' with your token
const client = new ApifyClient({
    token: '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>',
});

// Prepare Actor input
const input = {
    "domains": [
        "example.com",
        "github.com"
    ]
};

// Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
const run = await client.actor("limitless_can_p5z/domain-reputation-profiler").call(input);

// Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if any)
console.log('Results from dataset');
console.log(`💾 Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/${run.defaultDatasetId}`);
const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems();
items.forEach((item) => {
    console.dir(item);
});

## Python example

```python
from apify_client import ApifyClient

# Initialize the ApifyClient with your Apify API token
# Replace '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>' with your token.
client = ApifyClient("<YOUR_API_TOKEN>")

# Prepare the Actor input
run_input = { "domains": [
        "example.com",
        "github.com",
    ] }

# Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
run = client.actor("limitless_can_p5z/domain-reputation-profiler").call(run_input=run_input)

# Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if there are any)
print(f"💾 Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/{run.default_dataset_id}")
for item in client.dataset(run.default_dataset_id).iterate_items():
    print(item)

## CLI example

```bash
echo '{
  "domains": [
    "example.com",
    "github.com"
  ]
}' |
apify call limitless_can_p5z/domain-reputation-profiler --silent --output-dataset

```

## MCP server setup

```json
{
    "mcpServers": {
        "apify": {
            "type": "http",
            "url": "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=fetch-actor-details,limitless_can_p5z/domain-reputation-profiler"
        }
    }
}

```

The hosted server signs you in with OAuth on first connect, so no API token belongs in this config. Clients without OAuth support can send an `Authorization: Bearer <APIFY_API_TOKEN>` header instead, using a token from API & Integrations in Apify Console (https://console.apify.com/settings/integrations).
