Risk API

The Risk category of the Range API provides tools for assessing the risk levels associated with blockchain addresses and transactions. These endpoints allow users to retrieve risk scores and risk-related metadata, helping to identify malicious actors or addresses that may be involved in fraudulent activities. By analyzing addresses and transaction patterns, the Risk API helps organizations improve compliance, security, and fraud detection.

Key Features

• Address Risk Scoring: Retrieve a risk score for a blockchain address based on historical data, transaction patterns, and interactions.
• Transaction Risk Assessment: Analyze individual transactions to determine their associated risk score, helping to flag potentially dangerous or suspicious transactions.
• Malicious Metadata: Identify metadata related to malicious activities for both addresses and transactions, providing deeper insights into the nature of the risk.

Use Cases

• Compliance: Assess the risk levels of blockchain addresses to ensure compliance with regulations and to avoid engaging with malicious entities.
• Fraud Prevention: Identify and mitigate potential fraud risks by analyzing the risk scores associated with addresses and transactions.
• Due Diligence: Use risk scores to vet addresses and transactions before initiating business or financial operations on the blockchain.

Security

All API endpoints in the Risk category require an API key for authentication, passed in the X-API-KEY header.

Usage

The Risk API provides a seamless way to assess the risk of blockchain interactions, whether on the level of individual addresses or transactions. The risk score helps you decide if an address or transaction should be flagged for further review.
