Hello,

This is because the default API, scylla.sh, is currently under heavy traffic. h8mail has a built-in test to check if scylla is up. But in this case, scylla responds to the check but not the actual requests, making h8mail hang.

Workaround

Until scylla is back, you can use --skip so h8mail can avoid using it, and use an additional API instead, such as IntelX or emailrep for free, or the premium ones such as Snusbase or Leak-Lookup.
Here is a good video tutorial on that matter.

If you want to help scylla stay free and functional, consider buying the creator a coffee ☕ .

Cheers

It seems the built-in check does not timeout correctly on h8mail's end either, resulting in the hang.

The timeout fix will be included in the next release.

The timeout fix is already pushed on the next branch here if you want to get in advance.
You'll need to git checkout correctly.

The mentioned workaround above is still the only viable way to get results.

Cheers

Hello,

Fixed with PR #97 .
Run pip3 install --upgrade h8mail to update h8mail to the latest version (2.5.4).

Cheers!
