It checks across a database of thousands of websites, extracting profile data, linked accounts, and other available information from public pages and APIs. The tool supports multiple output formats (HTML, PDF, JSON, CSV, interactive graphs), can filter searches by site category or country tags, and includes optional AI-assisted analysis to summarize findings.\n\nThe package is designed for both CLI usage and programmatic embedding in Python projects. It handles common obstacles like blocks and censorship, fetches an auto-updated site database from GitHub, and works with Tor and I2P sites. A built-in web interface allows browsing results as an interactive graph. Installation is straightforward via pip, and the tool requires no external API keys or authentication to operate.","worth_installing":"Yes, with conditions. Maigret is actively maintained, has no known vulnerabilities, and offers genuine value for OSINT workflows and username verification at scale. Install it if you need batch account discovery or recursive username mapping. Be aware: the heavy dependency tree (25 packages) adds complexity; PDF reports require system libraries; and the tool's effectiveness depends on site database freshness and tolerance for blocks/CAPTCHAs. Not suitable for high-frequency automated queries without proxy rotation."},"id":"maigret","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/maigret","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/maigret.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/maigret/"},"maintenance":{"status":"active"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2026-08-11","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"maigret","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"\ud83d\udd75\ufe0f\u200d\u2642\ufe0f Collect a dossier on a person by username from thousands of sites."},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":103746,"position":12787,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"0.6.4"}
