ESPY provides a developer-ready identity enrichment API that helps KYC vendors strengthen customer onboarding and risk-review workflows with additional digital intelligence. Using phone numbers, email addresses, names, social identifiers, or facial images, KYC platforms can retrieve available identity attributes, connected social accounts, digital footprints, exposed-data indicators, and potential face matches. Results are delivered in structured formats for integration into customer-managed KYC, fraud-prevention, and identity-verification systems. ESPY provides enrichment and risk signals to support verification decisions, while the customer remains responsible for reviewing the results and making the final onboarding or compliance decision.

Traditional identity checks rely on stale database snapshots that miss live digital footprints and risk anomalies. ESPY’s data enrichment infrastructure executes real-time network probing, open-web scanning, and multi-source parameter correlation during every query, streaming fresh risk signals directly into customer-managed verification backends.
Submit single or multi-attribute queries-phone numbers, emails, legal names, social handles, or facial images-to trigger multi-vector enrichment across public web indexes and carrier networks.
Extract active carrier telemetry, messaging-app presence indicators, and exposed-data markers in real time without building or maintaining complex custom extraction pipelines.
Ingest standardized JSON payloads directly into internal decision engines. ESPY delivers intelligence signals to support verification, leaving full governance and final onboarding decisions in your control.
Enrich submitted parameters with context-rich identity signals to automate preliminary screening and streamline manual compliance reviews.
Enrich submitted phone numbers and email addresses with live carrier telemetry, line classification, messaging-app presence, registered service footprints, and domain health markers.
Discover publicly available social profiles and cross-reference contact inputs against supported breach repositories to identify historical exposure or potential account takeover risks.
Execute visual similarity searches across indexed open-web sources and correlate multi-attribute payloads to identify consistent or conflicting identity signals.
Connect real-time identity enrichment directly into your sign-up flows, risk rules, and analyst review queues to automate pre-screening and speed up manual reviews.
Need to start with limited parameters? ESPY API can enrich user profiles and discover identity connections using a single phone number, email address, or facial image via a unified RESTful endpoint.
High-performance queries delivered in a clean JSON response, optimized for real-time risk orchestration engines where latency is critical.
Uncover actionable technical context across contact parameters, visual identity, and exposed data to inform automated risk logic.
Inspect submitted phone numbers to determine line types (Mobile, Landline, VoIP), active validity, and virtual provider indicators.
Evaluate email domain health, MX record configurations, and active service presence to separate legitimate user inputs from temporary inboxes.
Discover publicly accessible social profiles and digital accounts linked to submitted phone, email, or name parameters.
Identify whether submitted contact details appear in supported exposed-data repos and retrieve contextual threat indicators.
Retrieve visually similar facial vectors and potential face matches across indexed open-web sources for manual review.
Compare naming variations, legal aliases, and structural typos across multiple sources to highlight consistent or conflicting identity signals.
ESPY’s Data Enrichment Infrastructure helps enterprise engineering teams cross-reference raw user registration inputs with live open digital sources and line validity status. Built as a high-performance RESTful pipeline, the system transforms unstructured telemetry into structured JSON signals for automated onboarding and account protection workflows.

How technical leaders integrate the ESPY Phone Intelligence API to power their registration workflows, fraud prevention, and user verification systems.
By integrating the ESPY API, platform teams can now run real-time app metadata checks across global databases, significantly reducing fake account creation and automated bot sign-ups during onboarding.
Head of Trust & Safety
Access live profile metadata and regional code registries from over 195 countries to uncover risk indicators that traditional static reverse search directories cannot catch.
Compliance Director
Risk operations use ESPY’s data layer to instantly detect unverified virtual VoIP lines and suspicious account setups. This adds a critical layer of active fraud detection to our existing user vetting suites.
Fraud Operations Manager
Built for developers. Our single-endpoint integration allows product teams to scale their user verification capabilities without adding complex system layout overhead or latency.
Director of Product Security
Verify the active profile status and history of digital footprints linked to a number. Our programmatic query allows platforms to easily separate trusted, long-standing users from newly generated malicious threats.
Lead Solutions Architect
Anti-fraud service providers leverage our phone intelligence to cross-reference mobile identifiers against open web registries, providing engineering teams with a more complete risk score.
Risk & Integrity Lead
Specialized security firms integrate our data pipeline to automate spam detection and reputation scoring, ensuring their platforms maintain clean user directories and meet regulatory compliance.

Everything you need to know about infrastructure, identity intelligence, compliance, and API integration.
No. ESPY provides identity-enrichment and digital-footprint data that can strengthen an existing KYC workflow. Document verification, biometric liveness, regulatory checks and final customer decisions should remain within the KYC provider’s complete process.
It is designed for KYC and identity-verification vendors, fintech companies, banks, marketplaces, fraud-prevention platforms and other businesses that need additional digital identity signals
Depending on the selected endpoint, searches can begin with a phone number, email address, name, username, IP address or facial image.
ESPY can retrieve names, profiles and other signals associated with a phone number and can compare a submitted name with phone-linked information. The result supports verification but should not be described as legal proof of ownership.
ESPY can discover available public profiles and social-account information related to supported identifiers. Results vary according to the identifier, platform and available data.
Yes. BreachScan can identify whether supported contact information appears in available data-exposure sources. A match indicates possible exposure, not wrongdoing by the customer.
No. Face WebScan searches for visually similar faces and online image appearances. It should complement—not replace—liveness detection or certified biometric identity verification.
ESPY provides data that a KYC provider can incorporate into its own rules. The customer’s organization remains responsible for decisions and regulatory compliance.
Yes. The IRBIS API returns structured results suitable for integration into existing onboarding, fraud and identity-verification systems.
