## What it is
Blackbird is a Python CLI OSINT tool that searches for user accounts by username or email across 600+ social networks and platforms, leveraging the WhatsMyName project for accurate results. It extracts profile metadata, offers free AI-driven behavioral profiling, and exports findings to PDF, CSV, or HTTP response formats.

## Use cases
- find all social media accounts linked to a username
- search which platforms an email address is registered on
- gather profile metadata for an OSINT investigation
- export username search results to a PDF report
- profile a target's online presence with AI analysis
- verify user information for compliance checks

## When to choose
- you need fast username or email enumeration across hundreds of sites
- you want low false-positive results via WhatsMyName integration
- you need exportable investigation reports in PDF or CSV
- you prefer a simple single-file Python CLI with no heavy dependencies

## When to avoid
- you need a GUI or web interface instead of a command-line tool
- you require guaranteed legal compliance for commercial investigations without review
- you need deep scraping of individual profile contents rather than account discovery
- your workflow depends on a formally licensed project, since the repo has no license file
