Returns session info with available services and quota information. The returned `session.id` should be passed as `search_id` to all subsequent service calls. ## OpenAPI ````yaml /openapi.yaml post /service/search/init openapi: 3.1.0 info: title: OathNet Service API version: 2.0.0 description: > # OathNet Service API Documentation Welcome to the OathNet Service API. This API provides breach search, stealer search, victims exploration, file search, exports, bulk search, scanners, and OSINT enrichment. ## Authentication Most `/api/service/*` endpoints require authentication via API key. Include your API key in the `x-api-key` header. ``` x-api-key: YOUR_API_KEY ``` You can obtain an API key from your dashboard at https://oathnet.org/dashboard?tab=account ## Rate Limiting & Quotas - Each request consumes from your daily lookup quota - Quota limits depend on your subscription plan - The `_meta.lookups` object in responses shows remaining daily lookups - Service-specific quotas may apply to certain endpoints ## Search Sessions For optimal quota management, initialize a search session before making service calls: 1. Call `/service/search/init` with your query 2. Use the returned `session.id` as `search_id` in subsequent service calls 3. This groups related lookups and provides better quota tracking ## Structured Filters V2 search endpoints share one structured filter contract: - use `GET` for simple searches and URL-friendly flat filters - use `POST` on the same search route when you have an AI/manual structured filter, a saved `filter_id`, or a filter tree that is awkward to URL-encode - `filter` is a JSON-encoded filter tree on query-string endpoints and a real JSON object on POST endpoints - POST search routes still take pagination, sorting, date range, `view`, and `search_id` as query parameters; the JSON body is for `filter` and `filter_id` - `filter_id` is a 24-character transient context ID returned by the AI filter flow or prior searches - explicit `filter` overrides a stored `filter_id` context, and flat params may still be used in the same request - the same filter objects are reused by AI filter responses, exports, bulk search, and scanners - advanced filters use leaf rules with `field`, `operator`, and `value`, plus `and` / `or` groups for boolean logic - supported operators are `eq`, `neq`, `contains`, `starts_with`, `ends_with`, `wildcard`, `gt`, `gte`, `lt`, `lte`, `exists`, `in`, and `not_in` See the `StructuredFilterNode` schema and `/guides/structured-filters` for the full operator list and examples. ## Success Response Patterns Successful responses use three main patterns: - Envelope JSON: Common on search-session and OSINT endpoints, plus `v2/stealer/search`, `v2/breach/search`, `v2/victims/search`, `v2/stealer/subdomain`, and `v2/bulk-search` create. - Raw JSON: Common on `v2/breach/autocomplete*`, `v2/ai/filter*`, `v2/files/search`, `v2/victims/*/properties`, `v2/victims/*/summary`, `v2/file-search*`, `v2/exports*`, `v2/bulk-search` list and status, `v2/victims/{log_id}`, `v2/phonebook`, and most scanner endpoints. - File or text stream: Victim file downloads, victim archive downloads, export downloads, and bulk-search downloads. ## Error Handling API-generated errors generally return with `success: false` and include: - `message`: Human-readable error description - `errors`: Object with field-specific or general error details Common HTTP status codes: - `200`: Success - `202`: Async job accepted - `400`: Bad Request (invalid parameters) - `401`: Unauthorized (missing or invalid token) - `403`: Forbidden (Cloudflare block or quota exceeded) - `404`: Not Found - `409`: Conflict - `429`: Too Many Requests - `500`: Internal Server Error - `502`: Bad Gateway - `503`: Service Unavailable contact: name: OathNet Support url: https://oathnet.org/support license: name: Proprietary url: https://oathnet.org/terms servers: - url: https://oathnet.org/api description: Production API Server security: - ApiKeyAuth: [] tags: - name: Search Session description: Initialize and manage search sessions for grouped lookups - name: Breach Search description: Search across breach databases for leaked credentials and data - name: Stealer Search description: Original stealer search route for simple credential lookups - name: V2 Stealer description: Enhanced V2 stealer search with advanced filtering and pagination - name: V2 Investigation description: >- Multi-section investigation across credentials, victims, evidence, files, and related credentials - name: V2 Breach description: Current breach search, autocomplete, and filter workflows - name: V2 Victims description: Search and explore victim profiles and their associated files - name: V2 File Search description: Search within victim files using regex, literal, or wildcard patterns - name: V2 File Metadata description: Search victim file metadata without fetching file bytes - name: V2 Export description: Export search results to JSONL or CSV format - name: V2 Bulk Search description: Batch many terms into an asynchronous export-style search job - name: Scanners description: >- Automated monitoring and delivery management for stealer and breach scanners - name: OSINT Lookups description: Open Source Intelligence lookups for various platforms - name: Utility description: Utility endpoints for autocomplete and other helpers paths: /service/search/init: post: tags: - Search Session summary: Initialize a Search Session description: > Creates a new search session for a given query.
