What is Veille?
Veille is a fraud detection API that validates emails, domains, IP addresses, VAT numbers, and IBANs in milliseconds, returning risk scores a developer can act on in the same request cycle. It is built for teams integrating abuse prevention into signup forms, checkout flows, or any endpoint that accepts user-supplied data. Every plan shares the same full API surface, with response times under 50ms and a 99.9% uptime SLA.
Why Veille works
Catching fake signups and bot traffic after the fact means cleaning up polluted databases, paying for fraudulent transactions, and manually reviewing accounts at scale. Veille sits at the point of entry: one GET request during signup or checkout returns a risk score, disposable-email flag, IP reputation status, and VAT validity before the record is written. Blocking or flagging happens in the same request cycle, so the bad actor never enters the system.
Veille features
- Email Validation. Checks each address for disposable inboxes, role accounts, catch-all domains, relay aliases, and DNS health including MX, SPF, and DMARC, returning a 0-100 risk score and a typo suggestion so signup forms can reject bad addresses before they reach a database.
- IP Reputation and Geolocation. Identifies VPNs, proxies, Tor exit nodes, datacenter hosts, and flagged abusive IPs, returning a 0-100 threat score with geolocation and ASN data so teams can block suspicious traffic at the session or form level.
- Domain Intelligence. Checks a domain for disposable provider status, public webmail, relay services, DNS health, WHOIS data, domain age, and certificate transparency so teams can assess the domain independently of a specific email address.
- VAT and IBAN Validation. Validates European VAT numbers against VIES and IBANs against bank registries so checkout flows and invoicing tools can verify business identity before processing a payment.
- Currency Conversion. Returns ECB exchange rates for 30+ currencies with custom base currency and filter support so apps handling multi-currency pricing or invoicing have a reliable rate source without maintaining their own feed.
Who Veille is for
- SaaS developers building signup flows who need to block disposable emails, bot registrations, and high-risk IPs without maintaining their own detection databases.
- E-commerce and payments teams who need real-time VAT and IBAN validation at checkout to reduce fraudulent orders and chargebacks from invalid business identities.
- Marketplace and platform operators where fake account creation leads to spam, multi-accounting, or referral abuse, and who need a risk score before a new record is written.
- Freelancers and agencies building client-facing tools who want lightweight fraud protection without a dedicated security team or a complex multi-vendor integration.
