create_profile
Create or update a custom scoring profile to adjust URL risk assessment weights for specific use cases like cold email filtering, security monitoring, or SEO auditing.
Instructions
Create or update a custom scoring profile. Profiles are sparse overrides: only specify the weights you want to change. Everything else keeps its default value.
If a profile with this name already exists, it is updated with the new weights (full replacement, not merge).
Weights are points, not percentages. Each weight is the number of points that signal adds to the score when it fires. They don't need to total 100. A profile with weights totalling 90 is conservative (max possible score is 90). A profile with weights totalling 130 is aggressive (multiple signals quickly push to the cap of 100). The threshold the agent sets for action matters more than the weight totals.
Use show_defaults to see all 23 signals with their default weights and descriptions before creating a profile. Use check_url or check_urls with the "profile" parameter to score results with this profile.
Maximum 20 profiles per account. Profile name "default" is reserved.
Common profiles:
Cold email: weight parked (30), chain_incomplete (25), ssl_invalid (15) higher. Lower brand_impersonation (10).
Security bot: keep brand_impersonation high (40), increase domain_age_7 (30), redirects_5 (25).
Lead gen: weight parked (35), http_only (20), chain_incomplete (20) for dead business detection.
SEO audit: weight redirects_5 (30), chain_incomplete (30), parked (25) for link quality.
See the Unphurl API documentation for all 19 use case weight examples.
