leaked credentials/databases.

An API key is required (free at https://leakix.net).

Free accounts have lower page limits.
HOST - Retrieve all known services and leaks for a given IP
DOMAIN - Retrieve all known services and leaks for a given domain
SUBDOMAINS - List known subdomains for a given domain
PLUGINS - List all available LeakIX scanner plugins
BULK - Stream all leak results via the bulk API (Pro only, leak scope only).
