Overview#

The MaxMind minFraud API provides a robust set of services designed to help businesses prevent fraudulent transactions by scoring online activities, providing insights based on IP risk, email checks, and other data points. Integrating this API into Pipedream workflows allows you to automate fraud checks and make informed decisions dynamically, based on the risk scores and data returned by minFraud.

import { axios } from "@pipedream/platform"
export default defineComponent({
  props: {
    maxmind_minfraud: {
      type: "app",
      app: "maxmind_minfraud",
    }
  },
  async run({steps, $}) {
    return await axios($, {
      url: `https://minfraud.maxmind.com/minfraud/disposition/v1.0/updates`,
      headers: {
        "Accept": `application/json`,
      },
      auth: {
        username: `${this.maxmind_minfraud.$auth.account_id}`,
        password: `${this.maxmind_minfraud.$auth.license_key}`,
      },
      params: {
        updates_after: `2021-03-15T09:00:00.00000Z`,
      },
    })
  },
})

Example Use Cases#

Automated Order Screening: Trigger a workflow whenever a new order is placed in your e-commerce platform. Use the minFraud API to assess the risk level of the transaction based on customer details. If the risk score exceeds a certain threshold, automatically flag the order for review or cancel it to prevent fraud.
User Signup Validation: Each time a user signs up on your website or app, use the minFraud API within a Pipedream workflow to analyze the risk associated with the user's details. Depending on the risk assessment, you could either allow, deny, or require additional verification for the signup process.
Transaction Monitoring with Slack Alerts: Monitor transactions in real time by setting up a workflow that sends data to the minFraud API. If a transaction is considered high risk, send an alert to a designated Slack channel for immediate attention by your risk management team. This helps in quick decision-making and keeps your team updated on potential fraud.
