The problem — the approval gap

Approval is a snapshot. Partner domains are dynamic. The gap between the two is where revenue leaks — and where Quttera's API closes it.

Scan publisher domain before approval

Two calls per publisher — malware scan and blacklist check — before any campaign goes live. Returns scanner result, blacklist status across Google, Yandex, Phishtank and others.

Step 1 — trigger malware scan

POSTscannerapi.quttera.com/api/v3/{api-key}/url/scan/partner-site.com.json

"error": 200, "errorstr": "success", "status": { "blacklisted": "no", "scanner_result": "undef", "state": "DOWNLOAD", "url": "partner-site.com" }

Step 2 — retrieve report when state = DONE

GETscannerapi.quttera.com/api/v3/{api-key}/url/report/partner-site.com.json

"report": { "state": "clean", "scanned_files": 24, "malicious_files": 0, "suspicious_files": 0, "blacklist_report": { "blacklist_status": "NoThreat", "providers": [ { "name": "Google Safebrowsing", "status": "NoThreat" }, { "name": "Yandex Safebrowsing", "status": "NoThreat" }, { "name": "Phishtank", "status": "NoThreat" } ] } }

Validate landing pages and redirect chains before launch

Two targeted scans catch the issues that matter most before a campaign spends budget — redirect manipulation (integrity scan) and SSL certificate health.

Step 1 — integrity scan (redirect chains, broken links, HTTP headers)

POSTscannerapi.quttera.com/api/v3/{api-key}/integrity/scan/lp.partner-b.com.json

"report": { "state": "DONE", "headers_comments": [ "ALERT: HTTP security header 'Content-Security-Policy' is missing", "ALERT: HTTP security header 'X-Frame-Options' is missing" ], "links_alert": [ { "alert": "redirection", "url": "https://lp.partner-b.com/offer", "redir_target": "https://suspicious-domain.ru/cread.php", "http_status": "302" } ] }

Step 2 — SSL certificate health

POSTscannerapi.quttera.com/api/v3/{api-key}/ssl/scan/lp.partner-b.com.json

"report": { "trusted": true, "expired": false, "expiration_days": 187, "cert_issuer_o": "Sectigo Limited", "state": "DONE" }

Continuous post-approval monitoring

Poll status endpoints on a schedule. When state returns DONE, pull the full report and check scanner_result. Any result other than "clean" triggers your review workflow.

Step 1 — check scan status (poll until DONE)

GETscannerapi.quttera.com/api/v3/{api-key}/url/status/partner-c.com.json

"status": { "state": "DONE", "scanner_result": "suspicious", "blacklisted": "yes", "sensitivity": "HEURISTIC", "url": "partner-c.com" }

Step 2 — retrieve full report for flagged domain

GETscannerapi.quttera.com/api/v3/{api-key}/url/report/partner-c.com.json

"report": { "state": "suspicious", "malicious_files": 2, "suspicious_files": 3, "files": [ { "filename": "partner-c.com/checkout.js", "threat": "Malicious", "threat_name": "Trojan.JS.Injection.gen", "reason": "Injected script exfiltrating form data" } ] }

Score attribution risk before paying commission

Before releasing payout, run two checks — blacklist report across all authorities, and compliance scan mapped to PCI-DSS, SOC 2 and ISO 27001. Any violation flags the payout for review.

Step 1 — full blacklist report across all authorities

GETscannerapi.quttera.com/api/v3/{api-key}/blacklist/report/partner-d.com.json

"status": { "blacklisted": "yes", "url": "partner-d.com" }, "authority": [ { "name": "Google Safebrowsing", "blacklisted": "yes" }, { "name": "Phishtank", "blacklisted": "no" }, { "name": "Yandex Safebrowsing", "blacklisted": "no" }, { "name": "Quttera Labs", "blacklisted": "yes" } ]

Step 2 — compliance scan mapped to PCI-DSS / SOC 2 / ISO 27001

GETscannerapi.quttera.com/api/v3/{api-key}/compliance/report/partner-d.com.json

"report": { "summary": { "PCI-DSSv4.0": 4, "SOC2": 4, "ISO/IEC:27001": 6 }, "controls": { "CC6.1": { "info": { "standard": "SOC2", "title": "Unauthorized Access Prevention" }, "violations": [ { "threat_name": "Trojan.JS.Injection.gen.2DB", "group": "Code Injection, Obfuscation" } ] } } }

Approval Does Not Mean Ongoing Safety

Affiliate networks review publishers at onboarding—but partner websites are dynamic.

Domains that appear clean during approval can later:

activate malicious redirects
inject hidden scripts
manipulate landing page behavior
redirect users to unsafe destinations

These changes often occur after campaigns go live, creating a gap between approval and actual behavior.

Why This Matters for Affiliate Networks

When partner domains drift from safe to malicious:

Advertisers escalate issues
Campaigns are paused or terminated
EPC and performance metrics degrade
User trust is impacted
Network reputation is at risk

These are not security issues—they are revenue and trust issues

The Affiliate Validation Gap

Traditional validation is static.
Affiliate ecosystems are dynamic.

Approval ≠ ongoing safety

Risk appears after campaigns go live

No visibility between approval and conversion

Structured Risk Signals for Fast Decisions

Reduces manual work and speeds decisions.

Risk score

Each partner, landing page, and redirect chain is assigned a structured risk score based on detected behavior, script activity, and domain reputation.

Scores are continuously updated as conditions change—giving your team a real-time view of partner risk.
Threat Classification

Detected issues are categorized into clear threat types, including malicious redirects, injected JavaScript, cloaked content, and suspicious third-party behavior.

This allows teams to quickly understand the nature and severity of each risk.
Flexibility

Each risk signal includes a recommended action to support fast decision-making and consistent enforcement across the network.
