## Response

Returns an `entity` with an overall `reputation`, a `suspicious` flag, the number of `references` seen, and a `details` object covering blacklisting, breach and credential-leak history, domain age, disposable/free-provider detection, deliverability and the social `profiles` the address is linked to.

## Errors
