Data Breach APIs
Data breach APIs check whether an email, domain or password has turned up in known leaks. Have I Been Pwned checks passwords via k-anonymity without a key and looks up breach exposure by domain, XposedOrNot returns breach details and risk scores with no key required, and Intelligence X searches leaked data, darknet content and pastes more broadly.

Choosing a Data Breach API
Is there a free Data Breach API?
Yes. Have I Been Pwned, XposedOrNot and Intelligence X have a free tier alongside paid plans.
Which Data Breach APIs work without an API key?
XposedOrNot needs no key or sign-up, so you can try it with a plain request.
Can I call a Data Breach API from front-end JavaScript?
XposedOrNot allows cross-origin requests and needs no key, so it works straight from the browser. For the others, call them from your server so your key stays private.
Can I use Data Breach APIs in a commercial project?
XposedOrNot and Intelligence X restrict it, for example to non-commercial or attributed use, so read the terms first.
