Usernames

usernames

Required

One or more usernames to search across 400+ social networks simultaneously. Each entry must be a plain username string — do not include the @ symbol, profile URLs, or any extra characters (e.g. use 'johndoe', not '@johndoe' or 'https://twitter.com/johndoe'). Multiple usernames are processed concurrently. Free accounts: max 1 username per run. Paid accounts: max 10 usernames per run.

Type:array

Proxy Configuration

proxyConfiguration

Optional

Optional proxy to route all HTTP requests through. Recommended for high-volume runs or when target platforms block cloud datacenter IPs. Supports Apify Proxy (residential and datacenter) or custom proxy URLs (HTTP/SOCKS5). Leave empty to use the built-in fallback proxy.

Type:object

Default:

{
  "useApifyProxy": false
}

Request Timeout (seconds)

timeout

Optional

Maximum seconds to wait for a response from each site before skipping it. Use 15–30 for faster runs with minimal accuracy loss. Use 60–120 for thorough scans where missing results is unacceptable. Default is 60 seconds.

Type:integer

Minimum:5

Maximum:300

Default:60

Include NSFW Sites

includeNsfw

Optional

Whether to include adult and NSFW platforms in the username search. Set to true for comprehensive OSINT and digital footprint investigations. Set to false (default) for HR screening, brand monitoring, compliance, and general-audience use cases.

Type:boolean

Default:false

Limit to Specific Sites

siteList

Optional

Restrict the search to a specific subset of platforms instead of scanning all 400+. Useful when you only care about a handful of networks and want faster, cheaper runs. Each entry can be a full URL ('https://github.com'), a bare domain ('github.com'), or the Sherlock site name ('GitHub') — all three formats are equivalent and resolved automatically. Leave empty to search all available sites.

Type:array

Default:

[]
