Search Leaked Databases

The IPQS leaked data API searches dark web sources for compromised user data including emails, usernames, and passwords. Identify the breach source an date, such as "Experian", "T-Mobile", etc. New leaks are automatically found and uploaded into our database everyday.

Example Dark Web API URLs
