## What it is
A Python CLI utility and library that scrapes online port scanning websites to perform port scans on a target IP or domain on your behalf. It supports multiple public scanners such as yougetsignal, viewdns, and ipfingerprints.

## Use cases
- scan open ports on a remote host without running a local scanner
- check which ports are open on my server
- perform a port scan from a different IP address
- scrape results from online port scanning websites
- quickly enumerate common services on a domain
- use port scanning sites programmatically from Python

## When to choose
- you want port scan results without exposing your own IP
- you need a lightweight CLI or Python library wrapper around public port scanners
- you want to aggregate results from multiple online scanners

## When to avoid
- you need a fast, full-featured local port scanner like nmap
- you need maintained software - the project is no longer maintained as of August 2023
- the underlying online scanner websites change or shut down
