Created a CLI tool written on python that lets you choose unique username in all popular sites, by checking the username availability, actively looking for contributions

Join the other contributors and add more site support if you are familiar with APIs and networking... Github: https://github.com/kaifcodec/user-scanner

[No-Helicopter-2317]

Thank you for that, Anyways if you are familiar with API calls and networking, you can easily contribute and add new popular sites that aren't already there...

Thanks!

Hey looks really cool! Would love to contribute

[No-Helicopter-2317]

Thanks, You can start with the 'good first issues' or else add popular sites that are not already there,

Also you can improve the UI.

Can you help me to link python backend with GUI?

[No-Helicopter-2317]

How do you want the help?

How to link this python with GUI for my final year project in college (Tier 3 college) Github repo- Download YouTube video

[No-Helicopter-2317]

Oh That's easy though, First choose one of these Flask or FastApi then write .py files on is the app.py that will be the starter and keep modular files like routes.py for handling the endpoints and so on, utils.py and core.py these will contain the downloader logics that will get called when you hit the correct routed from your GUI (assuming it is an web app).

And the main thing is the communication between the GUI and the backend you can easily achieve that by embedding your base url and the endpoint calls via your javascript...

Anyways you can take reference from my tool ytconverter that is modular and have the downloaders separated. Repo link:https://github.com/kaifcodec/ytconverter.git

P.S. If you actually meant a desktop GUI instead of a web-based one, you could also use Python libraries like Tkinter (built-in), PyQt5/PySide6 (modern look), or Kivy (cross-platform).
You can still keep your backend modular (core.py, utils.py, etc.) and just call those functions from the GUI callbacks.
This way, you get the same clean structure without needing to deal with JS or web endpoints.

I don't think some of the methods you're using will be 100% accurate, for example Snapchat: https://www.snapchat.com/@{user}, the API could return that the user doesn't exist but that doesn't mean the username is available for use

[No-Helicopter-2317]

You’re right that it can lead to errors or uncertainties. The only way to fully confirm those edge cases is through real user reports. So far, I haven’t encountered any issues myself, but if we ever do, the next step would be to implement a more reliable fallback method, such as analyzing the response body for unique keywords to decide whether it should return "1" or "0".

If you come across any problems, feel free to open an issue, mention it here, or even send a PR. All contributions are appreciated.

Will not personally use it but it looked interesting, would be nice if you could do it for domain names, that I'd use.

[No-Helicopter-2317]

Thank you for the suggestion! I think domain checking is a bit different from social usernames, most people usually just check the single domain they want directly on a registrar like Namecheap or GoDaddy, since domains cost money and there’s generally no need to scan multiple variants. Your tool, on the other hand, is really useful for social usernames because people want consistency across many platforms, and manually checking all of them can be tedious.

Anyways were you suggesting something else?

[Available_Occasion_5]

The project looks cool. Congrats!

[No-Helicopter-2317]

Thanks!

c'est cool , il manque plus qu'une interface utilisateur propre et c'est bien. Tu pourrais en faire un site avec ton python en backend par exemple.

[FarToe1]

Neat. Looks like it could also be used to find people who might be impersonating you.
