Maigret is a Python CLI OSINT tool that builds a dossier on a person from just a username, checking thousands of sites for accounts and extracting available information from the found pages. It requires no API keys and also offers a Telegram bot for checking one's own digital footprint.

Use cases

• find accounts linked to a username across social networks
• osint reconnaissance on a target username
• check if a username is taken on hundreds of sites
• gather public info about a person for an investigation
• audit my own digital footprint for privacy
• red team information gathering on a handle

When to choose

• you need username-based account discovery across thousands of sites without API keys
• you want a scriptable CLI for OSINT investigations
• you need a maintained, actively updated alternative to Sherlock

When to avoid

• you need email, phone, or name-based person search rather than username lookup
• you need a GUI-based investigation platform
• your use case requires guaranteed legal compliance review for targeted profiling
