# Link Safety and Credibility Analyzer
## Overview
The Link Safety and Credibility Analyzer is a web application that allows users to paste URLs sourced from social media or other platforms to automatically check and analyze their safety and credibility. The application evaluates the URL's reputation, checks for potential malware or phishing attempts, and analyzes the content to determine if it is misleading or safe to browse. The results are presented with a percentage score and color-coded clearance (red, yellow, green) indicating the safety level.
## Features
- **User Input:** Paste a URL into a text field.
- **Link Analysis:** Analyze the URL for:
- Domain reputation
- Presence of malware or phishing attempts
- Content analysis for misleading information
- Data privacy practices
- **Results Display:** Provides a percentage score and color-coded safety status (red, yellow, green).
- **Database:** Stores analyzed URLs and their scores for faster future analysis.
## Technologies Used
- **Frontend:** React.js, HTML, CSS, JavaScript
- **Backend:** Flask (Python)
- **Database:** PostgreSQL/MySQL
- **APIs:** Google Safe Browsing API, VirusTotal API
- **Natural Language Processing (NLP):** TextBlob, BeautifulSoup
