Safe Browse

Embedly implemented Google's Safe Browse API. Google is constantly updating their blacklisted URLs, and we wanted to harness that information for our customers. With Safe Browse integration we can inform a user that the URL they are about to click on is potentially dangerous.

Benefits of Google Safe Browse:

  • Warn users before clicking on links that appear in your site when they lead to malware-infested pages
  • Prevent users from posting links to phishing pages from your site
  • Check a list of pages against Google's lists of suspected phishing and malware pages

Support

When you need help or an API changes, we will be available through email or phone. Contact us anytime with questions and we will act quickly to resolve them. Instead of hiring a dedicated team to upkeep your system, constantly test provider APIs for uptime and usability, Embedly will handle it.

If we weren't using Embedly we'd have had to spend probably around a week of an engineer's time to build something that gets the basic job done. It wouldn't be nearly as good, we'd have to deal with constant bug fixes and we'd be paying Amazon $200-$300 a month to host it anyway. Using Embedly is a no brainer.”
