About URLScan.io
urlscan.io provides a powerful sandbox environment for analyzing URLs. When a URL is submitted, the service navigates to the page and records a wealth of data, including network requests, DNS records, page structure (DOM), and outbound links. This detailed analysis helps security professionals, threat researchers, and everyday users to investigate suspicious links, detect phishing campaigns, and understand how a website behaves without exposing their own systems. The platform offers free public scans, while commercial plans provide private scanning, API access for automation, and the ability to select the geographic origin of the scan.
