Usage examples

You can use Maigret as:

  • a command line tool: initial and a default mode
  • a web interface: view the graph with results and download all report formats on a single page
  • a library: integrate Maigret into your own project

Use Cases

  1. Search for accounts with username machine42 on top 500 sites (by default, according to Majestic Million rank) from the Maigret DB.
maigret machine42
  1. Search for accounts with username machine42 on all sites from the Maigret DB.
maigret machine42 -a

Note

Maigret will search for accounts on a huge number of sites, and some of them may return false positive results. At the moment, we are working on autorepair mode to deliver the most accurate results.

If you experience many false positives, you can do the following:

  • Install the last development version of Maigret from GitHub
  • Run Maigret with --self-check flag and agree on disabling of problematic sites
