AI Malicious URL API Tool
I'm the creator of T.LY URL Shortener, and malicious URLs are a constant battle. I decided to take all I've learned about detecting malicious URLs and build a simple AI API to score URLs (0-100) based on hundreds of factors.
I wanted to share an early version of the tool and get feedback. LinkShield uses hundreds of indicators to score any URL, allowing users to quickly determine whether a link is safe. In today's world, it is more important than ever to quickly identify malicious URLs to protect your data and your business.
Check it out: LinkShield
My goal is to help make the internet safer for everyone!

Hey Tim,
Congratulations on releasing LinkShield. It's been impressively accurate with the URLs I've tested. Looking forward to see the idea develop further.
How might the service respond when the provided URL is either a redirect, or a domain with zero reputation? Do these cases fall within the scope of the project? As I understand it these are common attack vectors for bad actors.
Thanks, William! The service currently considers several factors, such as if the domain is a known URL Shortener. I plan to add a more in-depth scan to add additional checks such as URL redirects, domain age, IP address inspection, and more. Running T.LY URL I've seen a vast number of malicious URL variations and plan to use this knowledge to build a robust link inspection service.
That's awesome -- can't wait to see it progress.
Your article is very detailed and impressive to me trap the cat, and I hope that you will send me more articles of this caliber in the future.
