maigret username1 username2 ...
You can specify several usernames separated by space. Usernames are not mandatory as there are other operations modes (see below).
maigret --parse URL
Maigret will try to extract information about the document/account owner (including username and other ids) and will make a search by the extracted username and ids. :doc:`Examples <extracting-information-from-pages>`.
Options are also configurable through settings files, see :doc:`settings section <settings>`.
--tags
- Filter sites for searching by tags: sites categories and
two-letter country codes (not a language!). E.g. photo, dating, sport; jp, us, global.
Multiple tags can be associated with one site. Warning: tags markup is
not stable now.
-n
, --max-connections
- Allowed number of concurrent connections
(default: 100).
-a
, --all-sites
- Use all sites for scan (default: top 500).
--top-sites
- Count of sites for scan ranked by Alexa Top
(default: top 500).
--timeout
- Time (in seconds) to wait for responses from sites
(default: 30). A longer timeout will be more likely to get results
from slow sites. On the other hand, this may cause a long delay to
gather all results. The choice of the right timeout should be carried
out taking into account the bandwidth of the Internet connection.
--cookies-jar-file
- File with custom cookies in Netscape format
(aka cookies.txt). You can install an extension to your browser to
download own cookies (Chrome, Firefox).
--no-recursion
- Disable parsing pages for other usernames and
recursive search by them.
--use-disabled-sites
- Use disabled sites to search (may cause many
false positives).
--id-type
- Specify identifier(s) type (default: username).
Supported types: gaia_id, vk_id, yandex_public_id, ok_id, wikimapia_uid.
Currently, you must add -a
flag to run a scan on sites with custom
id types, sites will be filtered automatically.
--ignore-ids

ids. Useful for repeated scanning with found known irrelevant usernames.

JSON file.
