Application Domains

Application Domains Data Feed

The Netify Application Domains Data Feed provides network intelligence data that is typically used for:

  • DNS filtering
  • Application detection
  • Hostname-based machine learning models

You can find technical details about the information provided by the API in the Data Payload section below. For Netify Data Feeds product information, please click on the button below.

Data Payload

The Netify Application Domains Data Feed is an API that provides the following application details:

  • Application Information and logos
  • Domains

We break down both of these items in the following sections.

JSON Overview

"data": {
    { Application Object },
    [ Domain List ]
}

Application Object

The application block in the JSON payload provides general information about the given application: label, description, logos, tag name and more. See the Application Object documentation for more information on the JSON payload details.

One important note about application categories: if you are using a different categorization system (e.g. Cisco Umbrella, DNSFilter), you can customize the Netify categories to meet your needs. Contact us for more information. 

"application": {
    "id": 120,
    "tag": "netify.twitter",
    "label": "Twitter",
    "full_label": "Twitter",
    "description": "Twitter is a ...",
    "home_page": {
        "url": "https://twitter.com",
        "text": "Twitter"
    },
    "category": {
        "id": 24,
        "tag": "social-media",
        "label": "Social Media"
    },
    "active": true,
    "favicon": "https://static.netify.ai/...",
    "icon": "https://static.netify.ai/...",
    "logo": "https://static.netify.ai/...",
    "favicon_source": "app",
    "icon_source": "app",
    "logo_source": "app"
}

Domain List

The domain list contains all the domain definitions used to detect an application. For example, the following is a sample of domains used to match the Twitter application:

  • t.co
  • twimg.com
  • twitter.com
  • twimg.com.akahost.net
  • twitter.map.fastly.net
  • etc.

These domains are used to identify application network traffic flows via Netify DPI processing. The hostnames coming from TLS SNI, TLS certificate common names, HTTP headers, DNS requests, DNS hinting, and any hostname that pops out of deep packet inspection are compared to the domain lists.

Please note: for companies with large portfolios of applications, the subdomains can be important differentiators. For example, the googleapis.com domain is part of the Google domain list, but the youtubei.googleapis.com domain is part of Google-owned YouTube domain list.

If a domain belongs to a platform, the metadata is attached to the payload. See the Domain Object documentation for more information on the JSON payload details.
