API - Public Breaches Search (140+ Billion Records)

🧠 NiamonX API β€” Public Breaches Search (140+ Billion Records)

Comprehensive API documentation for searching public data breaches aggregated from 4,500+ sources.


⚠️ Important Notice

The Public Breaches Search API allows you to query a massive database of publicly available leaks (>140 billion records).
Use it only for legitimate purposes β€” such as verifying your own data or with explicit authorization.

❗ Abuse or publication of obtained data will lead to account suspension and permanent API ban.
Some results may contain outdated or incomplete data.

  -H "X-API-Key: YOUR_API_KEY" \
  -d '{"query":"[email protected]"}'

🧭 Query Parameters

πŸ’» Code Examples

1. Python (requests)



import requests

url = "https://dash.niamonx.io/api/v2/breaches_search"
headers = {
    "Content-Type": "application/json",
    "X-API-Key": "YOUR_API_KEY"
}
payload = { "query": "[email protected]" }

response = requests.post(url, json=payload, headers=headers)
print(response.status_code)
print(response.json())

2. JavaScript (Node.js / Axios)



import axios from "axios";

const API_KEY = "YOUR_API_KEY";
const url = "https://dash.niamonx.io/api/v2/breaches_search";

async function searchLeak(query) {
  try {
    const res = await axios.post(
      url,
      { query },
      {
        headers: {
          "Content-Type": "application/json",
          "X-API-Key": API_KEY
        }
      }
    );
    console.log(res.data);
  } catch (err) {
    console.error("Error:", err.response?.data || err.message);
  }
}

searchLeak("[email protected]");

3. PHP (cURL)



<?php
$api_key = "YOUR_API_KEY";
$url = "https://dash.niamonx.io/api/v2/breaches_search";

$data = ["query" => "[email protected]"];
$options = [
  CURLOPT_URL => $url,
  CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER => true,
  CURLOPT_POST => true,
  CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER => [
    "Content-Type: application/json",
    "X-API-Key: $api_key"
  ],
  CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS => json_encode($data)
];

$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt_array($ch, $options);
$response = curl_exec($ch);
curl_close($ch);

echo $response;
?>

4. Go (net/http)



package main

import (
	"bytes"
	"fmt"
	"io"
	"net/http"
)

func main() {
	apiKey := "YOUR_API_KEY"
	jsonBody := []byte(`{"query":"[email protected]"}`)
	req, _ := http.NewRequest("POST", "https://dash.niamonx.io/api/v2/breaches_search", bytes.NewBuffer(jsonBody))
	req.Header.Set("Content-Type", "application/json")
	req.Header.Set("X-API-Key", apiKey)

	client := &http.Client{}
	resp, err := client.Do(req)
	if err != nil {
		panic(err)
	}
	defer resp.Body.Close()

	body, _ := io.ReadAll(resp.Body)
	fmt.Println("Status:", resp.Status)
	fmt.Println(string(body))
}

🧠 Best Practices

  • Wait 3 seconds between requests to respect cooldown (anti-spam).

  • Combine parameters intelligently:

    • "email password"

    • "name phone"

  • Do not republish or share results publicly.

  • If you detect compromised credentials β€” change passwords immediately.

  • Sensitive datasets (bank cards, healthcare) are automatically excluded.
