Check if a Wix username is taken

What we check on Wix

Standard tier - checked on every full lookup

Wix is checked from a username. The response says whether that handle exists on Wix - registered: true or registered: false - with the moment that was established in checkedAt. An email address on its own cannot reach Wix; if you only have an email, its local part is tried as a handle and any hit is labelled as derived, never counted as a confirmed match.

Wix is checked on every full lookup (?wait=true or streaming), alongside every other platform. It is not in the sub-second instant subset, which is reserved for the highest-value platforms for each input type.

If Wix blocks the check, times out, or answers ambiguously, it is omitted from results[] entirely rather than returned as registered: false. Absence from the response means "unconfirmed", never "no account".

Who checks Wix accounts

Shopping and marketplace accounts are checked by e-commerce and payment teams scoring orders. A buyer with real purchase history on established marketplaces is materially lower risk than an email that exists nowhere, which is why marketplace presence sits alongside breach history and email age in order and payout fraud scoring.

Inputs Wix accepts

• Username: send the handle as query. Wix is checked for that exact handle - useful when a person reuses the same name across platforms.

One request

What a Wix result looks like

{
  "platform": "wix",
  "registered": true,
  "checkedAt": "2026-10-15T09:53:17.431Z",
  "identity": "username"
}

The full response shape - breaches, web mentions, matches versus socialMatches, and what method means - is in running a lookup.

Wix lookup FAQ

Can I check a phone number on Wix?

Not directly. Wix can be reached from username. Phone numbers are checked on the messaging and social apps that sign people up by phone.

How fast is a Wix check?

Wix is checked on a full lookup, which streams results as they land - the first matches arrive in around 60 milliseconds and the whole set typically completes in a few seconds.

What happens if Wix blocks the check?

Wix is left out of the response. We never report a platform we could not confirm as "not registered" - a missing platform means unconfirmed, not absent.

Does the API return the Wix account details?

No. You get whether an account exists for the input you sent, and when that was established. No profile contents, photos, followers or private data are collected or returned.
