Getting Started with Risk Intelligence

There are two parts to getting Risk Intelligence data. First, you generate a Risk Intelligence token in your project's front-end. Second, you use that token to retrieve Risk Intelligence data from the Friendly Captcha API via your project's back-end.

With the data in your project's back-end, you can make Risk Intelligence-informed decisions about how to handle user actions in your project---e.g., require another authentication step, or send a suspicious account activity email. To get a sense of some possibilities, take a look at the list of use cases.
