Hello,

Few things. First, HIBP results vary from the web interface and the API (its mentioned it the HIBP documentation IIRC).

Also, h8mail uses scylla.sh and emailrep.io to fetch breach results. h8mail indexes multiple data types as data breach counters, not just passwords.
An example is found associated social presence from emailrep.io counts as a breach. If using premium APIs this can include physical address etc. You can feed additional data sources using API keys.

In some cases, h8mail has access to richer data than HIBP, incrementing the breach counter more. If that is not that case, you can use a HIBP API key with h8mail directly, the results will be included in the breach count.

Hope this helps, cheers! 👋

Hi, I tried to use the tool, everything works fine (no errors), except there is no data even when I take a mail from one of text files of COMB database. I use PepperMint 10 64-bit, the newest versions of python and h8mail. Any ideas?
