BinaryEdge search
curl -H 'X-Key: <k>' https://api.binaryedge.io/v2/query/search?query=<q>
Query the BinaryEdge API to search for exposed hosts and services, with programmatic access to the scanner index.
Run it in the reconnaissance phase when you want the exposed surface with the BinaryEdge API: the query searches the index (hosts, services, vulnerabilities) with filters and reports results in JSON. It's the internet scanner with direct API access: integrating the index into the recon flow (and automations). In recon, BinaryEdge gives the target's exposure — services, exposed data (buckets, databases), CVEs — with API queries.
Don't use it as a complete inventory: BinaryEdge's index covers what it scans — active scanning complements. The API has limits (the plan): use it judiciously. And note: results must be interpreted and verified (host ownership, exposed data). Consult the API documentation (endpoints and filters) before queries. For search without API, use the website; the API is for the programmatic recon flow.
