Its official README emphasizes username-only searches, no API-key requirement for normal scans, report generation, a web interface, and Python-library embedding. ### Projektgeschichte The public GitHub repository was created in June 2020. By its first listed GitHub release in January 2021, Maigret had settled into the package shape familiar to CLI users: install with pip, run `maigret USERNAME`, and emit reports for offline review. The project grew from a simple account-checking utility into a maintained OSINT framework with a large site database, recursive search, tag filtering, Tor/I2P and proxy support, a web UI, and optional AI-assisted report summarization. Official settings documentation describes a bundled site database plus a higher-priority auto-updated database downloaded into `~/.maigret/data.json` when available. ### Adoptionsgeschichte Maigret has become a visible package in the OSINT CLI ecosystem: the repository metadata shows tens of thousands of GitHub stars, and the README links PyPI, Docker, cloud-shell, standalone Windows, and web-interface usage paths. The input package-manager facts also show availability through Homebrew, MacPorts, and Nix. The README lists professional OSINT and social-media analysis tools built on Maigret, including Social Links API, Social Links Crimewall, and UserSearch, which is unusually explicit upstream evidence of downstream adoption for this kind of tool. ### Wie es verwendet wird Typical package-manager usage is direct: install the package, run `maigret username`, then choose report formats such as HTML, PDF, XMind, JSON, CSV, text, graph, or Neo4j output. Power users narrow searches with tags, scan all sites with `-a`, run the bundled web UI, or import Maigret as a Python library. For operations work, the package matters because it bundles and updates a large site database, can work through proxy/Tor/I2P paths, and can be run without per-site API credentials. Optional AI analysis uses an OpenAI-compatible key from settings or `OPENAI_API_KEY`. ### Warum Paket-Nerds sich dafür interessieren Maigret is the kind of Homebrew/Nix/PyPI package that turns a messy web-investigation workflow into a repeatable CLI artifact: one executable, a maintained data file, reproducible report formats, and enough knobs to fit CI, containers, and local analyst machines. Its significance is also in its maintenance burden. Username-search tools decay as sites change, so Maigret's auto-updated database, site metadata, and self-check/development workflow are central to why package users track releases rather than treating it as a static script. ### Zeitleiste - 2020: Public GitHub repository created. - 2021: First listed GitHub releases appear. - 2022: v0.4.x releases continue the Python CLI package line. - 2025: v0.5.0 release published. - 2026: v0.6.x releases published, with active repository updates. ### Related projects - The README links `soxoj/socid_extractor` as part of Maigret's profile-information extraction story. - In package-manager culture, Maigret sits near other username and OSINT tools such as Sherlock, while distinguishing itself with richer reporting, a larger site database, and a web UI. ### Quellen - - - - - source_facts.package-manager ## Sicherheitshinweise Für maigret wurde kein passendes lokales Secret-Handling-Manifest gefunden.
