Introducing the Osintly API

One integration surface for search, real-time SSE streaming, normalized results, leak providers, webhooks, and BYOK orchestration.

One integration surface for search, real-time streaming, Radar, webhooks, and BYOK.

Today we are launching the Osintly API.

It gives developers one consistent way to run OSINT searches, stream progress in real time, retrieve normalized outputs, and integrate leak + provider workflows without building custom glue for every data source.

Why this matters

Most OSINT integrations get messy fast.

Different providers use different payloads, different async patterns, and different response shapes. Over time, teams end up maintaining too many custom parsers and provider-specific pipelines.

The Osintly API is built to reduce that complexity.

One search lifecycle, one search ID

The flow is simple:

1. Create a search with REST

2. Follow progress via SSE

3. Retrieve state and results from the same lifecycle

A single search_id powers the whole process.

With that same ID, you can:

Read search state

Stream execution events

Fetch normalized results

Inspect leak source outputs

Consume webhook deliveries

Retrieve BYOK provider payloads

BYOK without integration overhead

BYOK is a core part of this release.

Instead of maintaining separate clients for each provider, you can pass provider credentials in your search request and run everything through the same Osintly orchestration and retrieval model.

For teams using providers like OSINT Industries and Sherlockeye, this means:

Fewer moving parts

Fewer provider-specific parsers

Less custom async plumbing

Cleaner merging of first-party Osintly data with third-party outputs

Radar is now available via API on the Free plan

Radar can now be integrated via API at no cost on the Free API plan.

You can plug breach intelligence into your own dashboards, workflows, and internal tools.

Important: Radar API is free, but not anonymous. You still need an Osintly account and an API key.

API and product are converging

This architecture is not external-only.

The same execution model is becoming core infrastructure for the Osintly product itself. BYOK support inside the app is coming on top of this same foundation.

That means better consistency between what developers build through the API and what users run inside the product.
