Personal info gathering
Maigret does the parsing of accounts webpages and extraction of personal info, links to other profiles, etc. Extracted info displayed as an additional result in CLI output and as tables in HTML and PDF reports. Also, Maigret use found ids and usernames from links to start a recursive search.
Enabled by default, can be disabled with --no extracting
.
Recursive search
Maigret can extract some common ids and usernames from links on the account page (often people placed links to their other accounts) and immediately start new searches. All the gathered information will be displayed in CLI output and reports.
Enabled by default, can be disabled with --no-recursion
.
Reports
Maigret currently supports HTML, PDF, TXT, XMind 8 mindmap, and JSON reports.
HTML/PDF reports contain:
profile photo
all the gathered personal info
additional information about supposed personal data (full name, gender, location), resulting from statistics of all found accounts
Also, there is a short text report in the CLI output after the end of a searching phase.
Warning: XMind 8 mindmaps are incompatible with XMind 2022!
Censorship and captcha detection
Maigret can detect common errors such as censorship stub pages, CloudFlare captcha pages, and others. If you get more them 3% errors of a certain type in a session, you’ve got a warning message in the CLI output with recommendations to improve performance and avoid problems.
Retries
Maigret will do retries of the requests with temporary errors got (connection failures, proxy errors, etc.).
One attempt by default, can be changed with option --retries N
.
Archives and mirrors checking
The Maigret database contains not only the original websites, but also mirrors, archives, and aggregators. For example:
Picuki, Instagram mirror
Twitter shadowban checker
It allows getting additional info about the person and checking the existence of the account even if the main site is unavailable (bot protection, captcha, etc.)
Simple API
Maigret can be easily integrated with the use of Python package maigret.
