MT Intelligence
Our scan found zero malware detections across 92 antivirus engines and clean browser blocklists. The domain is registered to Opera Software AS in the Netherlands with a 1210-day history, and Opera's official December 2022 changelog explicitly documents the migration from opera-api.com to opera-api2.com. Independent sources confirm the domain hosts legitimate browser backend services including features.opera-api2.com, suggestions.opera-api2.com, and weather.opera-api2.com. While some user reports mention antivirus software flagging certain subdomains as malvertising, this reflects overly aggressive heuristics by security tools rather than actual malicious intent — a common pattern with legitimate ad-serving and telemetry infrastructure. The ANY.RUN sandbox report appears to be a false positive on a legitimate Opera service endpoint. No scam reports target the root domain itself.

- IPs (e.g. 185.26.182.x range) registered to Opera Software AS in Netherlands, associated with opera.com and addons.opera.com.
- ANY.RUN sandbox flagged features.opera-api2.com with "Malicious activity" verdict in May 2024 analysis.
- User reports on Opera forums and Reddit of antivirus (Avast, others) flagging connections to suggestions.opera-api2.com or subdomains as malvertising or malware.

Associated with Opera Software AS; IPs linked to Opera network and addons.opera.com
Our research found three positive mentions confirming opera-api2.com as an official Opera Software domain. Netify documents the domain's association with Opera; Opera's official changelog from December 2022 explicitly references the migration from opera-api.com to opera-api2.com; and independent reputation data shows low-risk profiles for subdomains like weather.opera-api2.com. While user reports on Opera forums mention antivirus software flagging certain subdomains as malvertising, these appear to be false positives on legitimate telemetry and ad-serving infrastructure — a common pattern with backend API domains. No scam reports or complaints target the root domain itself.

Still, stay alert
No major threat indicators — but a clean scan does not guarantee every page is safe, and phishing emails routinely spoof real domains.
- Double-check the exact URL in your address bar
Confirm you are actually on opera-api2.com and not a lookalike like o-pera-api2.com.com or an IDN homoglyph.
- Use a password manager
Password managers only auto-fill on the exact domain they were saved for — they refuse to fill lookalike domains, which is the single best phishing defence.
- OpenDiscuss this site on the forum

Safety FAQ
Common questions about this site, answered directly from the scan data above — so the answers always reflect the latest verdict on this page.
- Our automated security review found no threat indicators on opera-api2.com. The site appears legitimate based on the signals we checked, but always stay alert for phishing emails that spoof real domains.
- opera-api2.com passed our automated security checks with a trust score of 88/100. No antivirus engines or major blacklists flagged the site at the time of the last scan.
- opera-api2.com is 3.3 years old, registered on 2/17/2023 through NameWeb BVBA. Scam domains are often freshly registered — a site under 6 months old warrants extra caution.
- No. All 92 antivirus engines in our malware network report opera-api2.com as clean.
- No. opera-api2.com is not currently listed on the major browser blocklist feeds that modern browsers use.
- opera-api2.com resolves to an IP operated by Opera Software AS in NL (usage type: Data Center/Web Hosting/Transit). Hosting location alone doesn't make a site good or bad, but unusual geography for a brand's claimed country is one of many signals we weigh.
- Yes. opera-api2.com sits in the global top-100k on Cloudflare Radar, which means it has substantial real-world traffic. That does not automatically make it safe, but established brands almost always rank here and throwaway scam domains almost never do.
- This is a permanent record of the scan run on June 11, 2026. The verdict and evidence above reflect that scan and do not change on their own. If circumstances around opera-api2.com have changed, MalwareTips staff can run a fresh scan, which re-runs every check from scratch and publishes an updated report.
