Official Python client for the OSINTverse SearchIn API

Official client for SearchIn on osintverse.com: one API for LeakRadar, OSINT Industries, Facecheck.id, SecurityTrails, and every other SearchIn provider. Same prepaid wallet as the UI.

pip install osintverse

Python 3.10+. Talks to https://apiv1.osintverse.com. Not affiliated with other products that reuse the OSINTverse name.

For local open-source tools on Linux, OTinstaller installs them by name (pipx install otinstaller). This client is the SearchIn API, not that installer.

Full guide: osintverse.com/docs/python

Auth

Sign in once from a terminal. It shows a code, you approve it at osintverse.com/device, and a new key is saved to the same config file the JS CLI uses (%APPDATA%\osintverse on Windows, ~/.config/osintverse elsewhere), so npx osintverse login works for both:

python -m osintverse login     # --json for agents, --no-browser on servers
python -m osintverse whoami
python -m osintverse logout    # forgets the saved key; revoke it in the dashboard

Or create a key at Dashboard → API keys (ov_ prefix, shown once).

from osintverse import OSINTverse

client = OSINTverse()  # api_key="ov_…", else OSINTVERSE_API_KEY, else the saved key

device_login() runs the same sign-in from code.

health() and providers.list() work without a key. Search methods require one.

Quick start

from osintverse import OSINTverse

with OSINTverse() as client:
    search = client.search.create(
        provider="leakradar-lite",
        input_type="email",
        query="user@example.com",
        wait=True,  # poll while status is running (~2s, 120s timeout)
    )
    print(search.status, search.cost_usd)
    print(search.result.matches if search.result else [])

Async:

from osintverse import AsyncOSINTverse

async with AsyncOSINTverse() as client:
    search = await client.search.create(
        provider="leakradar-lite",
        input_type="email",
        query="user@example.com",
        wait=True,
    )

Methods

batch = client.search.bulk(
    input_type="email",
    queries=["alice@example.com", "bob@example.com"],
    providers=["leakradar-lite", "dehashed"],
    wait=True,
)
print(batch.summary)

client.search.unlock(search.id)   # LeakRadar leftover credentials
client.search.premium(search.id)  # OSINT Industries premium modules

Quote before you run, and stop when the wallet is short:

quote = client.search.quote(provider="leakradar-lite", input_type="email", count=2)
if not quote.sufficient_balance:
    print(f"Add ${quote.shortfall_usd} at {quote.top_up_url}")

Every create sends an Idempotency-Key (a fresh UUID unless you pass idempotency_key=). Pass your own and reuse it when you retry after a timeout, and the API returns the original search instead of charging again.

wait=True on create raises SearchFailedError / SearchRefundedError if the job ends failed or refunded. Bulk wait polls running jobs and returns the batch — inspect summary for partial success (max 50 queries, 100 jobs).

This package is SearchIn lookups only. GraphIn (canvas, path, share) is the web desk.

Errors

Every APIError has status_code, detail, and, when the API sends them, code (for example insufficient_balance) and hint (what to do next).

Job status: failed / refunded on HTTP 200 raise SearchFailedError / SearchRefundedError when you pass wait=True on create. Poll timeout raises WaitTimeoutError.
