You're welcome to have access to the source repository which has been frozen since we closed the project.

The system was written in PHP/CodeIgniter and relies on API access from DomainTools, MyIP.ms, Alexa, Google and a couple of other services.

Running Raptor is not trivial though. You need several web crawlers to be running on several machines or instances and a server for the Raptor system itself.

We had two full time programmers and myself working on Raptor and associated systems for quite a long time. This isn't the kind of stuff you whip up in a few months. When the money stopped flowing the development stopped along with deployment of the development version we were running in production.

Internally we used Raptor for several months, unfortunately there wasn't the funding to take it to the stage where third parties could use it beyond the API which was provided toward the end of the project.
