Application Object

The Application (application ) object provides the ID, tag, description, and logos for applications tracked in the Netify Data feed.

For the IP API, the application_list includes a list of applications associated with the IP. The application is also provided in all the Netify datasets.

If you're curious, some of the Netify Data Feed data originates directly from the real-time Netify DPI engine. We regularly add new applications and update existing classifications as our detection capabilities evolve. For the latest additions and changes, see the changelog.
