# Introduction

### Why

It is common for security analysts and companies to share their research through Blogs, PDFs, CSV files, etc. IOC Parser makes the time-consuming process of extracting and aggregating Indicators of Compromise (IOCs) extremely easy through its APIs.

### Example

{% tabs %}
{% tab title="cURL" %}

```bash
curl --location --request POST 'https://api.iocparser.com/url' \
--header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
--data '{
	"url": "https://blocklist.cyberthreatcoalition.org/vetted/domain.txt"
}'
```

{% endtab %}

{% tab title="Python" %}

```python
import requests

url = "https://api.iocparser.com/url"

payload = {
	"url": "https://blocklist.cyberthreatcoalition.org/vetted/domain.txt"
}

headers = {
  'Content-Type': 'application/json',
}

response = requests.request("POST", url, headers=headers, json = payload)
print(response.text.encode('utf8'))
```

{% endtab %}

{% tab title="Go" %}

```go
package main

import (
  "fmt"
  "strings"
  "net/http"
  "io/ioutil"
)

func main() {

  url := "https://api.iocparser.com/url"
  method := "POST"

  payload := strings.NewReader("{\n	\"url\": \"https://blocklist.cyberthreatcoalition.org/vetted/domain.txt\"\n}")

  client := &http.Client {
  }
  req, err := http.NewRequest(method, url, payload)

  if err != nil {
    fmt.Println(err)
  }
  req.Header.Add("Content-Type", "application/json")

  res, err := client.Do(req)
  defer res.Body.Close()
  body, err := ioutil.ReadAll(res.Body)

  fmt.Println(string(body))
}
```

{% endtab %}

{% tab title="Javascript" %}

```javascript
var myHeaders = new Headers();
myHeaders.append("Content-Type", "application/json");

var raw = JSON.stringify({"url":"https://blocklist.cyberthreatcoalition.org/vetted/domain.txt"});

var requestOptions = {
  method: 'POST',
  headers: myHeaders,
  body: raw,
  redirect: 'follow'
};

fetch("https://api.iocparser.com/url", requestOptions)
  .then(response => response.text())
  .then(result => console.log(result))
  .catch(error => console.log('error', error));
```

{% endtab %}
{% endtabs %}
