Dashboard Overview

Your dashboard is the first thing you see after logging in. It's designed to give you a quick snapshot of your account activity and provide fast access to common actions.

Usage Statistics

The top section of your dashboard shows your current usage for the billing period:

  • Searches Used - How many searches you've performed vs. your monthly limit
  • Content Views - Number of result details you've viewed
  • Downloads - Files you've downloaded this period
  • API Requests - If you're using the API, your request count appears here

A progress bar for each metric helps you visualize how much of your quota you've used. When you reach 80% of any limit, you'll see a warning. At 100%, that action becomes unavailable until the next reset.

Usage Reset Schedule

Your quotas reset based on your subscription type:

  • Monthly limits - Reset on the first day of each billing month
  • Daily limits - Reset at midnight UTC

The dashboard shows when your next reset will occur, so you can plan your research accordingly.

Recent Searches

Below the usage stats, you'll find your recent search history. This section shows:

  • Your last 10 searches with the query text
  • When each search was performed
  • How many results were found
  • A quick "search again" button to re-run the query

This is helpful when you want to revisit a previous search or track how results change over time as new breaches are indexed.

Quick Actions

The dashboard includes shortcuts for common tasks:

  • New Search - Jump straight to the search page
  • View Subscription - Check your plan details and upgrade options
  • API Keys - Manage your API credentials (for paid plans)
  • Account Settings - Update your profile and security settings

Announcements

When there are important updates, maintenance notices, or new features, you'll see them announced on your dashboard. Make sure to check these periodically to stay informed about platform changes.

Tips for Dashboard Use

  • Bookmark it - Set your dashboard as your default landing page for quick quota checks
  • Plan your research - If you're running low on searches, prioritize the most important queries
  • Use recent searches - Re-running past searches can reveal newly indexed breaches
