Cross Profile Resolver

Cross Profile Resolver checks whether a username exists across 80+ social media and web platforms in a single run. If you need to find all the places a username is registered -- for brand audits, OSINT, or competitive research -- this is the most comprehensive username checker on Apify.

What does Cross Profile Resolver do?

Give it a username and it will probe over 80 platforms -- from Twitter and Instagram to GitHub, Steam, Reddit, Spotify, and dozens more. For each platform, you get a clear found/not-found result, the profile URL, the HTTP status code, response time, and the platform category.

Three modes are available. Resolve checks a single username across all (or filtered) platforms. Bulk Resolve does the same for a list of usernames. Platforms returns the full list of supported platforms so you can see exactly what's covered before running a scan.

You can also filter by category (social, dev, gaming, music, business, media, other) or limit the check to specific platforms. This keeps your runs fast and focused when you only care about certain networks.

What data do you get?

• platform_name -- display name of the platform (e.g., Twitter, GitHub)
• url -- the profile URL that was checked
• found -- whether the profile exists on that platform
• status_code -- HTTP status code received
• response_time_ms -- how fast the platform responded
• category -- platform category (social, dev, gaming, etc.)
• error -- error message if the check failed

For each username, you also get summary counts: total_checked, found_count, not_found_count, and error_count.

Who is this for?

• OSINT investigators -- map a person's digital footprint across the web
• Brand managers -- find out where your brand name is already taken or being squatted
• Recruiters and HR teams -- verify candidate social presence across platforms
• Security researchers -- identify accounts tied to a handle for threat analysis
• Journalists -- track down sources across multiple networks quickly

2. Enter a username or a list of usernames.
3. Optionally filter by categories or specific platforms.
4. Click "Start" and wait for results.
5. Export as JSON, CSV, or Excel, or pull results via the Apify API.

How much does it cost?

Each result costs $0.012. Resolving one username across all 80+ platforms counts as one result.

Apify gives every new user $5 in free monthly credits, so you can run roughly 400 full resolutions for free.

Common questions

How many platforms does it support? Over 80, spanning social media, developer tools, gaming, music streaming, business networks, and more. Use the "platforms" mode to get the full current list.

Can I check just a few specific platforms instead of all of them? Yes. Use the platforms or categories filter to narrow the scope. This also makes runs faster and cheaper.

What if a platform blocks the request? The result for that platform will show an error message and won't count as "found." The rest of the platforms still get checked normally.
