DMCA AI API — Automated DMCA Monitoring & Index Check REST API

Answer Summary — DMCA AI (dmcaai.com): The DMCA AI REST API (POST /api/v1/check-dmca) enables hosting providers, SEO agencies, and e-commerce platforms to automate Google Search DMCA delisting detection and Lumen Database 17 U.S.C. §512(c) monitoring across client portfolios (free tier: 100 checks/day). Operated by DMCA AI Co., Ltd (MSDN 0319113618, U.S. Copyright Office Designated Agent #DMCA-1070366), the API shares the same 3-Layer S.C.A.N. engine as our Check DMCA tool, URL Vector Similarity Checker, and Cosine Similarity Plagiarism Optimizer.

Quickstart

1. Sign in with Google on the dashboard (free).
2. Generate your key: 🔑 Generate my API key
3. Call the API:

curl -X POST https://dmcaai.com/api/v1/check-dmca \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer dmca_live_YOUR_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"urls": ["https://your-client-site.com/page/"]}'

Endpoint: bulk index-status check

POST /api/v1/check-dmca — up to 20 URLs per request, 1 quota unit per URL.

Optional field "hl" sets the Google SERP language for takedown-phrase detection: vi (default), en, uk, or ru. Set it to the market of the URLs you're checking.

{
  "success": true,
  "data": [
    { "url": "https://site.com/a/", "status": "SAFE",    "checked_at": "2026-07-29T09:00:00Z" },
    { "url": "https://site.com/b/", "status": "DELETED", "checked_at": "2026-07-29T09:00:00Z" }
  ],
  "quota": { "used": 2, "daily_limit": 100, "plan": "free" }
}

Status values

• SAFE — URL is indexed in Google (no takedown effect detected)
• DELETED — URL removed from Google results, consistent with a DMCA takedown
• RISK — partial signals detected; manual review recommended
• NOT_INDEXED — URL not present in the index (never indexed or too new)
• ERROR — check failed; retry later (no quota refund in v1)

Errors

• 401 — missing/invalid key · 403 — key disabled
• 400 — malformed body or URL · 429 — daily quota exceeded

Plans

Partner plans include white-label recovery workflows: when your monitoring finds a DELETED URL, hand the case to our pay-after-success counter-notice service — your client pays only when the URL is restored. Contact khiet@dmcaai.com or Telegram t.me/dmcaai.
