ReputeAPI Overview¶

Mission¶

ReputeAPI empowers developers and organizations to build email-secure applications by providing comprehensive, real-time validation of email authentication records. Our mission is to make email security accessible, actionable, and automated.

Platform Capabilities¶

Core Validation Engine¶

Our platform performs deep analysis of email authentication protocols:

• SPF (Sender Policy Framework) - Validates authorized sending sources
• DKIM (DomainKeys Identified Mail) - Verifies message authenticity
• DMARC (Domain-based Message Authentication) - Enforces authentication policies

Security Scoring Algorithm¶

ReputeAPI uses a proprietary scoring algorithm that:

• Evaluates configuration completeness (40% weight)
• Analyzes policy strength (35% weight)
• Assesses implementation best practices (25% weight)

Score Ranges: - 90-100: Excellent security posture - 70-89: Good security with minor improvements needed - 50-69: Moderate security with significant gaps - Below 50: Poor security requiring immediate attention

Real-Time DNS Analysis¶

• Global DNS resolution across 15+ geographic regions
• Sub-second response times with 99.9% uptime SLA
• Intelligent caching to balance speed and accuracy
• Recursive lookups for complex SPF includes

Data Processing Pipeline¶

1. Request Validation - API key authentication and rate limiting
2. DNS Resolution - Multi-region DNS lookups with failover
3. Record Parsing - Advanced parsing of SPF, DKIM, DMARC records
4. Security Analysis - Policy evaluation and vulnerability detection
5. Score Calculation - Weighted scoring based on security best practices
6. Response Generation - Structured JSON with recommendations

Integration Ecosystem¶

SDKs and Libraries¶

Webhook Support¶

Real-time notifications for: - Domain security score changes - Policy violations detected - DNS record modifications - Certificate expirations

Third-Party Integrations¶

• CI/CD Platforms: GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, Jenkins
• Monitoring Tools: Datadog, New Relic, Splunk
• Security Platforms: SIEM integration via webhook
• Email Providers: Integration guides for major ESPs

Compliance and Security¶

Data Privacy¶
