From the README
The Commissioner Jules Maigret is a fictional French police detective, created by Georges Simenon. His investigation method is based on understanding the personality of different people and their interactions.
Maigret collects a dossier on a person by username only, checking for accounts on a huge number of sites and gathering all the available information from web pages. No API keys are required. Maigret is an easy-to-use and powerful fork of Sherlock.
Currently supports more than 3000 sites (full list), search is launched against 500 popular sites in descending order of popularity by default. Also supported checking Tor sites, I2P sites, and domains (via DNS resolving).
These are professional tools for social media content analysis and OSINT investigations that use Maigret (banners are clickable).
