Overview
Intelligence X is an OSINT search engine API that lets you search historical and leaked data including emails, domains, IPs, URLs, and more from the dark web and other sources. It is designed for security researchers and investigators who need to pivot across data sources quickly. Access requires an API key and usage is metered based on the plan you choose.
Beginner Tip
Searches are asynchronous — first submit a search to get a search ID, then poll the results endpoint until the search completes. Always handle the "still searching" state in your code to avoid processing incomplete data.
Available Data
The kind of data this API exposes, based on its documentation. We could not call the endpoint to confirm the exact field names.
Example Response
Illustrative shape only — we were not able to call this endpoint (it requires credentials or exposes no public sample URL), so the fields below show the kind of data this API returns rather than a recorded response.
{
"status": "success",
"data": {
"result": "Data from Intelligence X",
"description": "Perform OSINT via Intelligence X",
"timestamp": "2025-01-15T10:00:00Z"
}
} Field Reference
id Unique search ID used to retrieve results via the polling endpoint. status Search status code: 0 = success, 3 = still searching. records Array of matching records found across indexed data sources. records[].name File or source name where the match was found. records[].date Date the record was indexed by Intelligence X. Implementation Example
Calls a real endpoint of this API. Replace any placeholder credentials with your own key.
const url = "https://github.com/IntelligenceX/SDK/blob/master/";
// Replace headers or query params with the values required by this API.
const response = await fetch(url, {
headers: {
"X-API-Key": "YOUR_API_KEY"
}
});
if (!response.ok) throw new Error(`Request failed: ${response.status}`);
const data = await response.json();
console.log(data); What Can You Build?
