What does Urlscan do?

Urlscan is a browser sandbox that lets you scan any URL in a controlled environment. When you submit a URL, the tool opens it in a headless browser and records everything that happens — network requests, cookies, DOM changes, redirects, and more. The result is a detailed report you can use to decide if a site is safe or suspicious.

The scanning process is fast and simple. You choose a country to scan from, pick a user agent, set visibility (public, unlisted, or private), and hit scan. The report shows a timeline of events, a screenshot of the rendered page, and a list of all contacted domains and IPs. Urlscan also provides a live feed of recent scans, updated every ten seconds, so you can see what other users are finding. The tool has a public API for integrating scans into your own workflows.

Urlscan is built for security professionals — incident responders, threat researchers, and IT administrators who need to investigate suspicious links quickly. It's useful for verifying phishing emails, checking if a website has been compromised, or analyzing malware delivery sites. The tool is straightforward: submit a URL, get a report, and decide what to do next.
