1. Is there an API endpoint available to see if a domain is in a web category, and return which ones it is in?
2. Is there a reference document which summarises each of the web categories and the types of content in each? (some are obvious, but some - like gross - aren't clear and could be content across a broad spectrum given what's gross can be different from person to person.

---

Long story short - I need to have a level of continuous assurance in place to test that domains in specific categories are being blocked.

Nobody wants to sit there, connect to a SSID that applies a specific client role, and see what's returned manually - so I'd like to do this via API.

However, haven't had any luck finding out if an API endpoint exists that I can programmatically ask "hey, is domain xyz.com blocked by one of your web categories, and if yes - which ones?"

The end result of this is I can leverage the API to, on a regular basis, pass it a list of domains we want to be checking, and write the results back to a file for review, and driving any necessary action.

Haven't had any luck with this, so appreciate any insight of the community on this.

Thanks in advance :)

The Brightcloud database is being used for web category lookups. They have a website to test the FQDN: https://brightcloud.com/tools/url-ip-lookup.php

I don't believe Brightcloud offers an API to test an FQDN. 

Another option is to use the UXI sensors. They can do automated testing and check if a website is being blocked.
