Advanced usage:

./marple.py soxoj --plugins metadata

Installation

All you need is Python3. And pip. And requirements, of course.

pip3 install -r requirements.txt

You need API keys for some search engines (see requirements in Supported sources). Keys should be exported to env in this way:

export YANDEX_KEY=key

Options

You can specify 'junk threshold' with option -t or --threshold (default 300) to get more or less reliable results.

Junk score is summing up from length of link URL and symbols next to username as a part of URL.

Also you can increase count of results from search engines with option --results-count (default 1000). Currently limit is only applicable for Google.

Other options:

  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
  -t THRESHOLD, --threshold THRESHOLD
                        Threshold to discard junk search results
  --results-count RESULTS_COUNT
                        Count of results parsed from each search engine
  --no-url-filter       Disable filtering results by usernames in URLs

  --engines {baidu,dogpile,google,bing,ask,aol,torch,yandex,naver,paginated,yahoo,startpage,duckduckgo,qwant}
                        Engines to run (you can choose more than one)

  --plugins {socid_extractor,metadata,maigret} [{socid_extractor,metadata,maigret} ...]
                        Additional plugins to analyze links

  -v, --verbose         Display junk score for each result
  -d, --debug           Display all the results from sources and debug messages
  -l, --list            Display only list of all the URLs
  --proxy PROXY         Proxy string (e.g. https://user:pass@1.2.3.4:8080)
  --csv CSV             Save results to the CSV file
