Announcing our Complete Concentration into OSINT
A New Opportunity
APIGen is changing to Intrace to deliver a concentration into creating a unified platform for OSINT investigations.
The Intrace Platform is an advanced OSINT tool that streamlines investigations and intelligence gathering across multiple domains. By harnessing the power of open-source data, it helps organizations and agencies uncover information faster and more efficiently than traditional manual methods. This makes it especially useful for risk management, brand protection, fraud detection, and numerous other fields that rely on verified intelligence.
One of Intrace’s most significant strengths lies in its ability to unify data from disparate sources into a single, coherent interface. Where manual OSINT efforts often involve juggling dozens of standalone tools, Intrace handles the heavy lifting behind the scenes, connecting to APIs or scraping relevant data automatically. Users can then focus on analyzing the insights rather than tracking down scattered bits of information.
Furthermore, the platform incorporates intelligent branching logic to adapt to different investigation types. Whether it’s a blockchain wallet address, a suspicious social media handle, or a regional business directory search, Intrace dynamically deploys the right resources. This versatility cuts down on time and cost, allowing users to act quickly when critical decisions need to be made.
The Technical Foundations of Intrace
At the core of Intrace is an orchestrator designed to coordinate a network of specialized agents. Each agent is responsible for a specific branch of the OSINT process—for instance, parsing social media, analyzing cryptocurrencies, or retrieving records from public databases. A super-agent can oversee the work of multiple specialized agents to ensure broader, multi-faceted investigations remain cohesive.
Agents rely on modular “tools” to perform tasks like calling an API, scraping a website, or analyzing raw data. Because these tools are decoupled from the agent logic, it’s easy to add or remove them without rewriting core functionalities. This modularity also aids in integrating new APIs or data sources as they become available, keeping Intrace relevant in an ever-evolving OSINT landscape.
Underpinning this multi-agent workflow is a scalable messaging system, often built on queueing technologies like RabbitMQ or Kafka. Each agent communicates back to the orchestrator as it completes its tasks, allowing for real-time status updates. This event-driven approach reduces latency and ensures no single agent becomes a bottleneck. It also provides a clear audit trail of which tools were used, when, and with what results.
Finally, Intrace provides robust data handling through both relational and non-relational databases. Structured information such as user credentials and investigation metadata is kept in a secure relational store, while unstructured data—like logs and raw extracts—resides in more flexible repositories such as Elasticsearch. This dual storage architecture balances the need for efficient query performance and the freedom to handle large volumes of diverse data.
