🔍 Social Media Handle & Brand Availability Checker
Check the availability of usernames or brand names across multiple major social media platforms instantly, reliably, and without relying on paid APIs.
🚀 What can Social Handle Checker do?
If you are launching a new brand, building an agency portfolio, doing competitive research, or securing digital assets, checking handles manually across 5+ platforms is tedious.
Social Handle Checker extracts real-time public status data directly from platforms using smart headers, user-agent rotation, and BeautifulSoup parsing, ensuring high accuracy and zero reliance on heavy browsers or paid APIs.
📊 What you can check & what it returns
| Platform | URL Checked | How Status is Determined |
|---|---|---|
instagram.com/{username}/ | HTTP status + Open Graph metadata (og:title / og:image) & error text check | |
| TikTok | tiktok.com/@{username} | HTTP 404 (Available) vs HTTP 200 + Content analysis (Taken) |
| GitHub | github.com/{username} | HTTP 404 (Available) vs HTTP 200 (Taken) |
| Twitter (X) | twitter.com/{username} | HTTP status & profile page validation |
pinterest.com/{username}/ | HTTP status & metadata check |
⚙️ Input Configuration
The actor accepts a clean JSON input containing the list of usernames or brand names you want to scan.
📤 Output Structure
The results are saved directly to the Apify Dataset in a structured JSON format, ready for export to CSV, Excel, or JSON.
🛡️ Built-in Anti-Bot & Reliability Features
User-Agent & Header Rotation: Simulates real desktop browsers (Chrome, Firefox, Safari) to bypass strict bot filters.
Smart Validation: Avoids false positives (e.g., Instagram returning HTTP 200 on missing pages) by checking Open Graph tags.
Automatic Retries & Delays: Features built-in request retries and polite delays (time.sleep) to guarantee stable execution without server stress.
Lightweight & Fast: Built on pure Python (requests + BeautifulSoup), keeping memory consumption extremely low (256MB RAM) and runs blazing fast.
