Functions

breach(breachName, [options]) ⇒ Promise.<Breach> | Promise.<null>

Fetches data for a specific breach event.

breachedAccount(account, [options]) ⇒ Promise.<Array.<Breach>> | Promise.<null>

Fetches breach data for a specific account.

🔑 haveibeenpwned.com requires an API key from https://haveibeenpwned.com/API/Key for the breachedaccount endpoint. The apiKey option here is not explicitly required, but direct requests made without it will fail (unless you specify a baseUrl to a proxy that inserts a valid API key on your behalf).

breaches([options]) ⇒ Promise.<Array.<Breach>>

Fetches all breach events in the system.

dataClasses([options]) ⇒ Promise.<Array.<string>> | Promise.<null>

Fetches all data classes in the system.

pasteAccount(email, [options]) ⇒ Promise.<Array.<Paste>> | Promise.<null>

Fetches paste data for a specific account (email address).

🔑 haveibeenpwned.com requires an API key from https://haveibeenpwned.com/API/Key for the pasteaccount endpoint. The apiKey option here is not explicitly required, but direct requests made without it will fail (unless you specify a baseUrl to a proxy that inserts a valid API key on your behalf).

pwnedPasswordRange(prefix, [options]) ⇒ Promise.<PwnedPasswordSuffixes>

Fetches the SHA-1 or NTLM hash suffixes for the given 5-character hash prefix.

When a password hash with the same first 5 characters is found in the Pwned Passwords repository, the API will respond with an HTTP 200 and include the suffix of every hash beginning with the specified prefix, followed by a count of how many times it appears in the data set. This function parses the response and returns a more structured format.

pwnedPassword(password, [options]) ⇒ Promise.<number>

Fetches the number of times the the given password has been exposed in a breach (0 indicating no exposure). The password is given in plain text, but only the first 5 characters of its SHA-1 hash will be submitted to the API.

search(account, [options]) ⇒ Promise.<SearchResults>

Fetches all breaches and all pastes associated with the provided account (email address or username). Note that the remote API does not support querying pastes by username (only email addresses), so in the event the provided account is not a valid email address, only breach data is queried and the "pastes" field of the resulting object will always be null. This is exactly how searching via the current web interface behaves, which this convenience method is designed to mimic.

🔑 haveibeenpwned.com requires an API key from https://haveibeenpwned.com/API/Key for the breachedaccount and pasteaccount endpoints. The apiKey option here is not explicitly required, but direct requests made without it will fail (unless you specify a baseUrl to a proxy that inserts a valid API key on your behalf).

subscriptionStatus([options]) ⇒ Promise.<SubscriptionStatus>

Fetches the current status of your HIBP subscription (API key).

🔑 haveibeenpwned.com requires an API key from https://haveibeenpwned.com/API/Key for the subscription/status endpoint. The apiKey option here is not explicitly required, but direct requests made without it will fail (unless you specify a baseUrl to a proxy that inserts a valid API key on your behalf).
