#quickstart #pe_utils ## Dehashed in a nutshell [Dehashed](https://dehashed.com) is a tool for looking up WHOIS records and DB leaks (e.g. haveibeenpwned) through an API. It can be a helpful tool for looking up portco domains from time to time to determine if their domains are being spoofed and/or if they have common passwords circulating db leak forums. ## How to use it Dehashed is fairly straight forward. You simply create an account, which gives you an API key. You then have to purchase API credits and a plan. The API credits last as long as you have them (each API call deducts a credit), but the plan is time based (e.g. one week, one month, etc) ## Examples ``` curl 'https://api.dehashed.com/search?query=username:test' \ -u [email protected]:api-key \ -H 'Accept: application/json' ```
