Social Analyzer - API, CLI & Web App for analyzing & finding a person's profile across +800 social media \ websites. It includes different string analysis and detection modules, you can choose which combination of modules to use during the investigation process.
The detection modules utilize a rating mechanism based on different detection techniques, which produces a rate value that starts from 0 to 100 (No-Maybe-Yes). This module intended to have less false positive and it's documented in this Wiki link
The analysis and public extracted information from this OSINT tool could help in investigating profiles related to suspicious or malicious activities such as cyberbullying, cybergrooming, cyberstalking, and spreading misinformation.
This project is "currently used by some law enforcement agencies in countries where resources are limited".
Social Analyzer is in a league of its own and is a very impressive tool that I thoroughly recommend for Digital Investigators and OSINT practitioners. by Joseph Jones, Founder of Strategy Nord, Unita Insight and OS2INT
- I have been getting many public & private requests to add static websites' info to the detection db, this is being implemented and +400 detections should have that. If you have any -private module, and you are not able to see the static websites' info, download the latest version or email me for details

print(results)- check this wiki for all possible installation methods
- check this wiki for integrating social-analyzer with your OSINT tools, feeds, etc..
Required Arguments:
--username E.g. johndoe, john_doe or johndoe9999
Optional Arguments:
--websites Website or websites separated by space E.g. youtube, tiktok or tumblr
--mode Analysis mode E.g.fast -> FindUserProfilesFast, slow -> FindUserProfilesSlow or special -> FindUserProfilesSpecial
--output Show the output in the following format: json -> json output for integration or pretty -> prettify the output
--options Show the following when a profile is found: link, rate, title or text
--method find -> show detected profiles, get -> show all profiles regardless detected or not, both -> combine find & get
--filter Filter detected profiles by good, maybe or bad, you can do combine them with comma (good,bad) or use all
--profiles Filter profiles by detected, unknown or failed, you can do combine them with comma (detected,failed) or use all
--extract Extract profiles, urls & patterns if possible
--metadata Extract metadata if possible (pypi QeeqBox OSINT)
--trim Trim long strings
Listing websites & detections:
--list List all available websites
Setting:
--headers Headers as dict
--logs_dir Change logs directory
--timeout Change timeout between each request
--silent Disable output to screen
- Remember that existing profiles show
status:goodorrate:%100 - Some websites return
blockedorinvalid<- this is the intended behavior - Use Proxy, VPN, TOR or anything similar for periodic suspicious-profiles checking
- Do not mix FindUserProfilesFast, with FindUserProfilesSlow and ShowUserProfilesSlow
- Change the user-agent to most updated one or increase the random time between requests
- Use the slow mode (Not available in the CLIs) to avoid running into blocking\results issue
- Adding the generic websites detections (These need some reviewing, but I will try to add them in 2021)
- DuckDuckGo API, Google API, NodeJS, bootstrap, selectize, jQuery, Wikipedia, font-awesome, selenium-webdriver & tesseract.js
