Username Search & OSINT - Maigret Profile Finder, 5,000+ Sites

Username search on 5,000+ sites with Maigret: find the social media accounts that use a handle and read each profile's name, bio, followers and join date. Type a username and get one row per account found, with the profile link, the site, and what Maigret reads from the page: display name, bio, location, follower count, account creation date, photo, links and the other usernames on the profile. The actor then searches those linked usernames too, the way Maigret turns one handle into a full digital footprint.

Use it as a username lookup, username checker, Sherlock alternative or WhatsMyName alternative for OSINT, fraud and trust and safety work, with nothing to install: run Maigret in the cloud from the Apify Console, the Apify API, Python, JavaScript, n8n, Make or an AI agent through the Apify MCP server, and export the rows as JSON, CSV or Excel. $0.015 per profile found ($15 per 1,000). No start fee: a username found nowhere costs nothing. Only the username is required.

What does it do?

It runs Maigret, the open-source username OSINT tool (38,000+ GitHub stars), on Apify. For each username you type, Maigret checks the sites in its database, 5,178 of them in Maigret 0.6.6 once the sites Maigret itself marks as broken are left out, and keeps the ones where an account with that username exists.

• One row per account found: site, profile link, site type (75 types, such as social, forum, coding and dating) and the site's country.
• Profile details read from the page wherever Maigret has an extractor for the site: name, bio, location, followers, join date, photo, links, account IDs. On 2026-09-29 that was 41% of the accounts found for soxoj and 28% for torvalds.
• Linked usernames: a GitHub page that links a Twitter handle gives a second username. With Follow linked names on, the actor searches it too (up to 3 per run) and marks each row with where it came from.
• Most popular sites first: set Number of sites to 500 for a one-minute scan of the big platforms, or leave it empty for the whole database.

How is it different from other username search tools?

Many username search actors on the Store run Sherlock (about 400 sites) and report found or not found. This one runs Maigret, which checks more than ten times as many sites and reads the profile pages it finds.
