Have I Been Pwned

Below are the methods for the main Have I Been Pwned API.

For simplicity no error handling is included in the callback examples. It's straightforward: when there is a problem err is an instance of Error and data is undefined, otherwise err is null and data is set to the result.

.breachedAccount

( account, [params], callback )

All breaches for an account.

argument	type	required	description
account	string	yes	Email or username to check
params	object	no	Additional parameters to include
callback	function	yes	function (err, data) {}

hibp.breachedAccount ('foo@bar.com', yourCallback);

Example output

.breaches

( [params], callback )

All breaches in the system.

argument	type	required	description
params	object	no	Additional parameters to include
callback	function	yes	function (err, data) {}

hibp.breaches (yourCallback);

Example output

.breach

( name, [params], callback )

A single breached site.

argument	type	required	description
name	string	yes	Site name to check, i.e. linkedin
params	object	no	Additional parameters to include
callback	function	yes	function (err, data) {}

hibp.breach ('Adobe', yourCallback);

Example output

.pasteAccount

Pwned Passwords

Below are the methods for the Pwned Passwords API.

.pwnedpasswords.byPassword

( password, [hashed], callback )

Check if a password was leaked. The data is 0 (int) when none were found.

argument	type	default	description
password	string		The password to check
hashed	bool	false	Is the password already SHA-1 hashed
callback	function		(err, data)

hibp.pwnedpasswords.byPassword ('secret', (err, count) => {
  if (!count) {
    console.log ('Great! Password is not found.');
  } else {
    console.log ('Oops! Password was found ' + count + ' times!');
  }
});

// -> Oops! Password was found 195263 times!

.pwnedpasswords.byRange

( hash, [sort], callback )

Get password hashes similar to the first 5 characters of the SHA-1 hash provided. The callback data is an object where the keys are the lowercase hashes and the values are the number of times they were used. When nothing is found data is 0 (int).

A hash longer then 5 characters is truncated before being sent to the API and can be in uppercase or lowercase.

argument	type	default	description
hash	string		The SHA-1 hash to check
sort	bool	false	Sort by counts in descending order
callback	function		(err, data)

Sorted by key (default)

hibp.pwnedpasswords.byRange ('abcdef', (err, data) => {
  for (sha in data) {
    console.log ('%s  %i x', sha, data[sha]);
  }
});

Sorted by use counts

hibp.pwnedpasswords.byRange ('abcdef', true, (err, data) => {
  const count = Object.keys (data).length;
  let i = 1;

  console.log ('Found %i matches', count);
  console.log ('Top 3:');

  for (sha in data) {
    console.log ('%i  %s  %i x', i, sha, data[sha]);

    // stop after 3
    if (i === 3) { break; }
    i++;
  }
});

// ->
// Found 511 matches
// Top 3:
// 1  3b8a55c2b3bf42b83e41f0f95a4149043f6  336 x
// 2  6a7fc410810db77855d9dfe5b94b95196f7  304 x
// 3  73a1a21a7b13b50536df19fd586abdf3145  193 x
