The Complete Guide to Prismatic's 141 OSINT Adapters

Open-source intelligence is only as good as the sources feeding it. Prismatic ships with 141 production-grade OSINT adapters spanning Czech government registries, global threat intelligence feeds, EU institutional databases, international sanctions lists, and more. Every adapter is self-registering, rate-limited, circuit-breaker-protected, and streams results in real time via PubSub.

This post is the definitive catalog. Whether you are running due diligence on a Czech company, tracking a malicious IP across threat feeds, or screening an entity against global sanctions – there is an adapter for that.

#Architecture at a Glance

All 141 adapters live under prismatic_osint_sources and implement a unified behaviour contract:

@callback search(query :: String.t(), opts :: keyword()) ::
  {:ok, list(map())} | {:error, term()}

@callback metadata() :: %{
  name: String.t(),
  category: atom(),
  rate_limit_rpm: pos_integer(),
  confidence_tier: atom()
}

Adapters self-register into an ETS-backed ToolRegistry at compile time. No manual wiring, no hardcoded lists. Add a new adapter module, compile, and it appears in the toolbox UI, REST API, and CLI simultaneously.

Each adapter gets automatic:

• Rate limiting (token bucket per adapter)
• Circuit breaker (opens after 5 consecutive failures, half-open retry after 30s)
• ETS result caching (configurable TTL)
• Telemetry instrumentation (execution time, success/failure counters)
• PubSub streaming (real-time result delivery to LiveView UIs)

#Czech Adapters (35)

The deepest coverage in the platform. Czech adapters query official government registries, financial regulators, legal databases, and transparency portals – sources that are critical for due diligence, compliance, and investigative work in the Czech Republic.

#Business & Company Registries

#Legal & Justice

#Financial & Compliance

#Government & Administration

#Regulatory & Specialized

#Intelligent Routing

#Global Adapters (87)

The largest category. Global adapters cover DNS and network intelligence, IP geolocation, malware analysis, cryptocurrency tracing, people search, social media, infrastructure scanning, and business intelligence from international sources.

#DNS & Network Intelligence

#IP & Geolocation

#Phone Intelligence

#Malware & Threat Intelligence

#Vulnerability & Exploit Databases

#Abuse & Reputation

#Cryptocurrency & Blockchain

#People & Email Intelligence

#Social Media & Web Search

#Code & Package Registries

#Infrastructure & Web Scanning

#Company & Business Intelligence

#Dark Web & Specialized

#Legal & Financial (International)

#EU Institutional Adapters (13)

A dedicated set of adapters for querying official European Union databases – essential for regulatory compliance, policy research, and cross-border due diligence.

#Sanctions Adapters (3)

Three-layer sanctions screening covering the major international sanctions regimes:

These adapters support fuzzy name matching, transliteration handling, and confidence-scored results. A single search/2 call against the sanctions category runs all three in parallel and returns a merged, deduplicated result set.

#Regional Adapters (2)

#Universal Adapters (2)

#Confidence Scoring

Every result from every adapter flows through a confidence scoring pipeline. Scores are assigned based on source reliability:

When multiple adapters return data about the same entity, confidence scores are combined using the Nabla epistemic framework to produce a final composite score.

#Using the Adapters

#Web UI

Browse all adapters at /hub/osint/tools. Each adapter has a detail page with a dynamic form generated from its input_fields configuration. Execute any adapter directly from the browser and view structured results in real time.

#REST API

# List all adapters
curl http://localhost:4004/api/v1/osint/list_tools

# Filter by category
curl -X POST http://localhost:4004/api/v1/osint/filter_tools \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"category": "czech"}'

# Execute an adapter
curl -X POST http://localhost:4004/api/v1/osint/execute_tool \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"slug": "czech-ares", "input": {"query": "12345678"}}'

#Elixir API

# Direct adapter call
{:ok, results} = PrismaticOsintSources.Adapters.Czech.Ares.search("12345678")

# Via the tool registry (recommended)
{:ok, results} = PrismaticOsintCore.ToolRegistry.execute("czech-ares", %{query: "12345678"})

# Multi-source search across a category
{:ok, results} = PrismaticOsintCore.search("Navigara s.r.o.", category: :czech)

#Building Your Own

The platform is extensible. See Building OSINT Adapters with Elixir for a step-by-step guide, or scaffold one instantly:

#Summary

141 adapters. 6 categories. One unified interface. Whether you are investigating a Czech company, tracing cryptocurrency flows, screening against international sanctions, or mapping an attacker’s infrastructure – Prismatic’s OSINT layer gives you structured, confidence-scored intelligence from the sources that matter.

Every adapter is open source, self-registering, and production-hardened with rate limiting, circuit breakers, and telemetry. Explore them at /hub/osint/tools or browse the API documentation.
