# Trust API 🤝🤝🤝 The BuiltWith Trust API provides you with an overview of a website domain - allowing you to make the call on how much it can be trusted. We use attributes such as technology spend, time, relationships with other sites, current response, keywords and undisclosed methods to determine the trustworthiness of a domain. BuiltWith uses this data to determine if a business can upgrade to paid plans without doing a KYC request. ## Best Practices If you are providing a list of newly registered domains always use the `&LIVE=true` option as our DB will always return suspect. If you are working through a large list provide `&LIVE=true` only if the status comes back as '`needLive`' (`2` in json) - this will increase throughput performance. --- ## Response Object ### Result
