Socialscan is an open source intelligence (OSINT) tool designed to check whether usernames or email addresses are associated with accounts on various online platforms. It allows users to quickly determine if a specific username or email address is already in use across multiple services, making it useful for security research, digital investigations, and account enumeration tasks. It focuses on accuracy by querying platform endpoints in a way that reliably detects whether a credential exists without producing misleading results. Socialscan can be used both as a Python library and as a command-line utility, making it flexible for developers and analysts alike. It uses asynchronous networking to perform multiple queries efficiently, enabling fast scans across different services. Because of its programmatic interface, the tool can also be integrated into larger workflows, automation scripts, or OSINT pipelines. Overall, Socialscan helps investigators, researchers, and developers.
