Have I Been Pwned

Have I Been Pwned (HIBP) is a free service operated by Troy Hunt that lets individuals and organizations check whether their email addresses, phone numbers, passwords, or domains have appeared in known data breaches, pastes, or stealer logs. The service aggregates billions of compromised records and exposes both free and paid endpoints, including the k-anonymity Pwned Passwords API. The v3 REST API at haveibeenpwned.com requires an hibp-api-key header for breach, paste, domain, and stealer log endpoints and is offered across Core, Pro, and High RPM subscription tiers.

agent aware

Limited machine-readable signal and partial portal coverage — documentation a human can read, but little a machine or agent can consume without scraping.

Kin Score

API Evangelist profiles Have I Been Pwned the way a machine reads it — 21 machine-readable artifacts across 16 APIs, pulled from the provider's own public surface and indexed so a developer, an analyst, or an AI agent can evaluate it against every other provider on the network.

Every provider in the network is reduced to the same set of machine-readable artifacts — OpenAPI contracts, event specifications, GraphQL schemas, runnable collections, pricing and rate-limit signals, security posture, OAuth scopes, and the agent surfaces (MCP servers and skills) that let software drive the API on its own. We profile them because the interface is the part of a company you can actually inspect: it is a truer signal of what a provider does than any marketing page. From those artifacts we compute the Kin Score — Have I Been Pwned scores 30.2/100 (thin), with a separate agent-readiness read of 41/100 (agent aware). The full breakdown is below, followed by every artifact we hold — each card links through to its machine-readable definition on apis.io.

Kin Score

This is the API Evangelist rating — a single, repeatable read computed from the artifacts on this page. Green fill is points earned; the red track is points possible, so every bar shows earned-versus-possible at a glance.

APIs 16

Each API is captured as its own OpenAPI definition — every operation, parameter, and response. This is the single most useful machine-readable description of what an API does, and it's what lets us score, lint, mock, and generate against it without asking the provider for anything.

Individual APIs this provider publishes, each with its own machine-readable definition.
