Leaked Password Verification API

Leaked Password Verification API verifies if a password has been compromised by searching known leaked password databases.

About the API:  

The Leaked Password Verification API provides a robust solution for verifying the security status of passwords against known databases of leaked or compromised passwords. In today's digital landscape, where cyber threats are rampant, ensuring password integrity is paramount to safeguarding sensitive information and protecting user accounts from unauthorized access. This API is a vital tool for users looking to strengthen their cybersecurity measures and mitigate the risks associated with password-related vulnerabilities.

In essence, the Leaked Password Verification API works by accepting passwords as input and performing an exhaustive search of a vast repository of leaked password databases. These databases contain passwords that have been exposed in previous data breaches or security incidents, making them potential targets for cybercriminals looking to exploit compromised credentials. By leveraging the API, users can determine if their passwords have been compromised and take proactive steps to strengthen the security of their accounts.

One of the key features of the Leaked Password Verification API is its ability to provide accurate and timely information about the security status of passwords. Upon receiving a password, the API quickly performs a search across multiple databases, identifying any instances where the password has been found in filtered datasets. If a match is detected, the API returns detailed information, including the number of databases in which the password was found and a confirmation of its compromised status.
In conclusion, the Leaked Password Verification API is an essential tool for assessing the security status of passwords and mitigating the risks associated with compromised credentials. By providing real-time information on password integrity and facilitating proactive security measures, the API helps safeguard sensitive information against evolving cyber threats.

To use this API, users must enter a password to verify if it was a leaked password.

The Leaked Password Verification API allows users to check if their passwords have been compromised in known data breaches or leaks.

There are different plans to suit all tastes, including a free trial for a small number of requests, but your rate is limited to avoid abuse of the service.

Zyla provides a wide range of integration methods for almost all programming languages. You can use these codes to integrate with your project as you need.

You would need the Leaked Password Verification API to assess the security status of your passwords and mitigate the risk of unauthorized access to your accounts.

The Password Security Checker endpoint returns a JSON object that indicates whether a password has been found in leaked databases. It includes fields such as "found_in_leaked_databases" and "leaked," providing insights into the password's security status.

The key fields in the response data are "found_in_leaked_databases," which shows the number of databases containing the password, and "leaked," a boolean indicating if the password is compromised.

The response data is structured in JSON format, with key-value pairs. For example, a typical response might look like: `{"found_in_leaked_databases":"294737","leaked":true}`, making it easy to parse and utilize in applications.

The endpoint provides information on whether a password has been compromised, the number of databases it appears in, and a confirmation of its leaked status, helping users assess password security.

The primary parameter accepted by the Password Security Checker endpoint is the password itself, which must be provided as a string. Ensure the password is properly formatted before submission.

Data accuracy is maintained through regular updates and checks against known leaked password databases from verified sources, ensuring that the information provided is current and reliable.

Typical use cases include checking user passwords during account creation, enforcing password policies, and conducting security audits to identify compromised credentials in user accounts.

Users can utilize the returned data by implementing security measures based on the response. For example, if a password is marked as leaked, users should prompt for a password change or suggest stronger alternatives.

Zyla API Hub is like a big store for APIs, where you can find thousands of them all in one place. We also offer dedicated support and real-time monitoring of all APIs. Once you sign up, you can pick and choose which APIs you want to use. Just remember, each API needs its own subscription. But if you subscribe to multiple ones, you'll use the same key for all of them, making things easier for you.

Prices are listed in USD (United States Dollar), EUR (Euro), CAD (Canadian Dollar), AUD (Australian Dollar), and GBP (British Pound). We accept all major debit and credit cards. Our payment system uses the latest security technology and is powered by Stripe, one of the world’s most reliable payment companies. If you have any trouble paying by card, just contact us at [email protected]

Additionally, if you already have an active subscription in any of these currencies (USD, EUR, CAD, AUD, GBP), that currency will remain for subsequent subscriptions. You can change the currency at any time as long as you don't have any active subscriptions.

The local currency shown on the pricing page is based on the country of your IP address and is provided for reference only. The actual prices are in USD (United States Dollar). When you make a payment, the charge will appear on your card statement in USD, even if you see the equivalent amount in your local currency on our website. This means you cannot pay directly with your local currency.

Occasionally, a bank may decline the charge due to its fraud protection settings. We suggest reaching out to your bank initially to check if they are blocking our charges. Also, you can access the Billing Portal and change the card associated to make the payment. If these does not work and you need further assistance, please contact our team at [email protected]

Prices are determined by a recurring monthly or yearly subscription, depending on the chosen plan.

API calls are deducted from your plan based on successful requests. Each plan comes with a specific number of calls that you can make per month. Only successful calls, indicated by a Status 200 response, will be counted against your total. This ensures that failed or incomplete requests do not impact your monthly quota.

Zyla API Hub works on a recurring monthly subscription system. Your billing cycle will start the day you purchase one of the paid plans, and it will renew the same day of the next month. So be aware to cancel your subscription beforehand if you want to avoid future charges.

To upgrade your current subscription plan, simply go to the pricing page of the API and select the plan you want to upgrade to. The upgrade will be instant, allowing you to immediately enjoy the features of the new plan. Please note that any remaining calls from your previous plan will not be carried over to the new plan, so be aware of this when upgrading. You will be charged the full amount of the new plan.

To check how many API calls you have left for the current month, refer to the β€˜X-Zyla-API-Calls-Monthly-Remaining’ field in the response header. For example, if your plan allows 1000 requests per month and you've used 100, this field in the response header will indicate 900 remaining calls.

To see the maximum number of API requests your plan allows, check the β€˜X-Zyla-RateLimit-Limit’ response header. For instance, if your plan includes 1000 requests per month, this header will display 1000.

The β€˜X-Zyla-RateLimit-Reset’ header shows the number of seconds until your rate limit resets. This tells you when your request count will start fresh. For example, if it displays 3600, it means 3600 seconds are left until the limit resets.

Yes, you can cancel your plan anytime by going to your account and selecting the cancellation option on the Billing page. Please note that upgrades, downgrades, and cancellations take effect immediately. Additionally, upon cancellation, you will no longer have access to the service, even if you have remaining calls left in your quota.

You can contact us through our chat channel to receive immediate assistance. We are always online from 8 am to 5 pm (EST). If you reach us after that time, we will get back to you as soon as possible. Additionally, you can contact us via email at [email protected]

To let you experience our APIs without any commitment, we offer a 7-day free trial that allows you to make API calls at no cost during this period. Please note that you can only use this trial once, so make sure to use it with the API that interests you the most. Most of our APIs provide a free trial, but some may not support it.

After 7 days, you will be charged the full amount for the plan you were subscribed to during the trial. Therefore, it’s important to cancel before the trial period ends. Refund requests for forgetting to cancel on time are not accepted.

When you subscribe to an API trial, you can make only 25% of the calls allowed by that plan. For example, if the API plan offers 1000 calls, you can make only 250 during the trial. To access the full number of calls offered by the plan, you will need to subscribe to the full plan.
