Free threat intelligence API

The adapter is https://api.threat-intel.makondoo.org. It is the same API the dashboard uses. Reads do not take a Bearer token. Rate limit: 100 requests per hour per client IP.

Start here

curl -sS https://api.threat-intel.makondoo.org/health
curl -sS "https://api.threat-intel.makondoo.org/iocs?page=1"
curl -sS -X POST https://api.threat-intel.makondoo.org/lookup \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"q":"8.8.8.8"}'

/lookup returns Threatr cache plus osint: Hudson Rock, Shodan InternetDB, CIRCL hashlookup. force=true is ignored.

Other free routes

GET /stats GET /status GET /feeds
GET /pwned/range/:prefix — HIBP Pwned Passwords (send five hex chars of SHA-1, never the password).
GET /breaches/latest — public HIBP catalog, not an email search.
POST /bom — queue a certificate-transparency attack-surface scan.

POST /iocs is ingest-only (X-Ingest-Key). Full examples: API documentation.

What does threat intel do?

Threat intelligence turns raw signals — malicious IPs, phishing URLs, malware hashes, attacker infrastructure — into something a defender can act on. On Makondoo, that means a live IOC dashboard from Threatr, an investigate panel for a single observable, and an attack-surface BOM built from certificate-transparency logs.

What is threat intelligence in simple terms?

It is evidence about who is attacking, how they attack, and which indicators to block. Data without context is a blocklist. Intelligence is that data plus source, timing, and how it relates to your assets.

What are the five stages of the threat intelligence lifecycle?

Direction (what you need to know), collection (feeds and lookups), processing (normalize and dedupe), analysis (what it means for you), and dissemination (dashboard, API, BOM). Makondoo covers collection through dissemination for public CTI; direction stays with your security team.

What is a threat intel platform?

A threat intelligence platform (TIP) stores indicators, enriches them, and exposes them to analysts and tools. Makondoo is a Threatr-backed TIP: ingested open feeds, cached vendor enrichment, a public adapter API, and BOM/SBOM matching — not a SIEM and not an EDR.

What is Threat Intelligence?

Cyber threat intelligence (CTI) is analyzed information about adversaries and their infrastructure. Strategic CTI is for leaders. Operational CTI is about campaigns. Technical CTI is IOCs you can put in a firewall. This site publishes technical CTI from public feeds and Threatr.

Is Makondoo threat intelligence free?

The public dashboard, investigate lookups (without forcing vendor refresh), BOM scans, and adapter API are free to use, rate-limited at 100 requests per hour per IP. Team and Enterprise are contact-sales for private ingest and hosted Threatr.
