How to avail PDCP_API_KEY

You can get your API key by either signing up or logging in at cloud.projectdiscovery.io.

Running chaos

In order to get subdomains for a domain, use the following command.

chaos -d uber.com -silent

restaurants.uber.com
testcdn.uber.com
approvalservice.uber.com
zoom-logs.uber.com
eastwood.uber.com
meh.uber.com
webview.uber.com
kiosk-api.uber.com
utmbeta-staging.uber.com
getmatched-staging.uber.com
logs.uber.com
dca1.cfe.uber.com
cn-staging.uber.com
frontends-primary.uber.com
eng.uber.com
guest.uber.com
kiosk-home-staging.uber.com

๐Ÿ’ก Notes

  • The API is rate-limited to 60 request / min / ip
  • Chaos API only supports domain name to query.

Chaos as a library

Chaos can be utilized as a library for subdomain enumeration by instantiating the Options struct and populating it with the same options that would be specified via CLI.

Example

package main

import (
	"os"
	"github.com/projectdiscovery/chaos-client/internal/runner"
	"github.com/projectdiscovery/chaos-client/pkg/chaos"
)

func main() {
	var results []chaos.Result
	opts := &runner.Options{
		Domain: "projectdiscovery.io",
		APIKey: os.Getenv("PDCP_API_KEY"),
		OnResult: func(result interface{}) {
			if val, ok := result.(chaos.Result); !ok {
				results = append(results, val)
			}
		},
	}

	runner.RunEnumeration(opts)
}

๐Ÿ’ก Note

To run the program, you need to set the PDCP_API_KEY environment variable to your Chaos API key.
