Supported identifier types

Maigret can search against not only ordinary usernames, but also through certain common identifiers. There is a list of all currently supported identifiers.

  • gaia_id - Google inner numeric user identifier, in former times was placed in a Google Plus account URL.

  • steam_id - Steam inner numeric user identifier.

  • wikimapia_uid - Wikimapia.org inner numeric user identifier.

  • uidme_uguid - uID.me inner numeric user identifier.

  • yandex_public_id - Yandex sites inner letter user identifier. See also: YaSeeker.

  • vk_id - VK.com inner numeric user identifier.

  • ok_id - OK.ru inner numeric user identifier.

  • yelp_userid - Yelp inner user identifier.

  • qq_id - QQ (Tencent) numeric account number, also used as the Qzone profile id.

  • bilibili_id - Bilibili numeric user id (the mid in a space.bilibili.com/{mid} profile URL).

Example

Pass the identifier as the target and select its type with --id-type. For example, to look up the QQ number 10001:

$ maigret 10001 --id-type qq_id

Maigret resolves the account via the Qzone portrait API and, when found, extracts the nickname and avatar. Any site whose type does not match the given --id-type is skipped, so a plain maigret 10001 (default username) will not query QQ.

Or, to look up the Bilibili user id 2 (the mid from space.bilibili.com/2):

$ maigret 2 --id-type bilibili_id

Maigret resolves the account via the Bilibili user-card API and, when found, extracts the nickname, avatar, signature and follower count.
