What PublicWWW is

PublicWWW is a web and API search service for finding alphanumeric snippets, signatures, or keywords in page HTML, JavaScript, CSS, and plain text. Queries can combine exact phrases, multiple terms, alternatives, exclusions, depth, site and IP filters, or regular expressions. Results are sorted by website popularity and searches typically finish within a few seconds. The homepage reports 969,312,480 indexed web pages as of October 7, 2026. Free access reveals websites in the top 1,000,000; results from the top 3,000,000 are available after registration, while other results are paid. The Free plan permits 1,000 rows per search. Paid Business costs $199/month and Enterprise costs $499/month; their maximum search sizes are 300,000 and 1,000,000 rows. The site offers CSV downloads, and the API can return JSON, XML, CSV, TSV, NDJSON, or plain text. The API requires a key and paid plan. Signed-in users can save domain sets, compare or combine them, extract fields, filter using uploaded domain lists, and download clusters.
