BotOrNot

Check a trading bot name or website/domain against BotOrNot's sourced bot directory and every regulator scam record (SEC, CFTC and a state regulator crypto scam tracker). Returns a verdict (watchlist_match, documented_bot, both, no_record) with source URLs. no_record is NOT proof of safety.

  "properties": {
    "query": {
      "type": "string",
      "description": "Bot name or website, e.g. \"3Commas\" or \"web3-cryptohopper.com\"",
      "minLength": 2,
      "maxLength": 200
    }
  },

The rule-based BotOrNot report card for a bot (Clear record, Caution, Red flags, Closed, Limited data) with the exact sourced facts and rule ids that produced it. Not a rating or investment advice; payouts never change it.

Search regulator scam and enforcement records (SEC, CFTC and a state regulator crypto scam tracker) by name, website or keyword. Every record has an official source URL. Regulator complaints are allegations until resolved.

{
  "type": "object",
  "properties": {
    "query": {
      "type": "string",
      "minLength": 2,
      "maxLength": 200

Scam signals for a website: exact matches in a state regulator scam tracker, look-alikes of real bot domains (typos, homoglyphs, brand+words), domain age from public RDAP, HTTPS, and optional red-flag phrases in pasted text. Signals, not a verdict.

{
  "type": "object",
  "properties": {
    "url": {
      "type": "string",
      "maxLength": 300
    },
    "text": {
      "type": "string",
      "maxLength": 20000,
      "description": "Optional text from the site or message to scan for regulator-listed red-flag phrases"
    }
  },
  "required": [
    "url"
  ]
}

Recent change events: new regulator cases, new state scam-tracker reports, bot shutdowns, report-card changes and keyword-matched SEC/CFTC releases. Optionally filter by bot slug.

{
  "type": "object",
  "properties": {
    "bot": {
      "type": "string"
    },
    "limit": {
      "type": "integer",
      "minimum": 1,
      "maximum": 100,
      "default": 20
    }
  }
}

Check a Telegram @handle or t.me link: is it an official handle of a listed trading bot (verified on the bot's own site or docs), a known impersonator listed by the bot's own docs, a look-alike, or not in our records? Matches include custody model and incident history. A match is NOT a safety rating; unknown is not proof of a scam.

{
  "type": "object",
  "properties": {
    "handle": {
      "type": "string",
      "description": "@handle, t.me/ link or tg://resolve link",
      "minLength": 1,
      "maxLength": 300
    }
  },
  "required": [
    "handle"

      "minimum": 1,
      "maximum": 100,
