pip install user-scanner

Usage

Scan a username across all platforms:

user-scanner -u <username>

Optionally, scan a specific category or single module:

user-scanner -u <username> -c dev
user-scanner -l # Lists all available modules
user-scanner -u <username> -m github
user-scanner -u <username> -p <suffix> 

Generate multiple username variations by appending a suffix:

user-scanner -u <username> -p <suffix> 

Optionally, scan a specific category or single module with limit:

user-scanner -u <username> -p <suffix> -c dev
user-scanner -u <username> -p <suffix> -m github
user-scanner -u <username> -p <suffix> -s <number> # limit generation of usernames
user-scanner -u <username> -p <suffix> -d <seconds> #delay to avoid rate-limits

Contributing:

Modules are organized by category:

user_scanner/
├── dev/        # Developer platforms (GitHub, GitLab, etc.)
├── social/     # Social platforms (Twitter/X, Reddit, Instagram, etc.)
├── creator/    # Creator platforms (Hashnode, Dev.to, Medium, etc.)
├── community/  # Community platforms (forums, niche sites)
├── gaming/     # Gaming sites (chess.com, roblox, monkeytype etc.)
├── donation/   # Donation taking sites (buymeacoffe.com, similar...)

Module guidelines:

• Each module must define a validate_<site>() function that takes a username and returns:
  • 1 → Available
  • 0 → Taken
  • 2 → Error / Could not check
• Use httpx for requests, colorama for colored output.
• Optional: modules can define a CLI parser if they support custom arguments.

See CONTRIBUTING.md for examples.
