Find where a username is used

Check the sites you choose and save a spreadsheet-friendly report of matches and failed checks.

Licences & source

Look for your old accounts or check where a username appears publicly. Supply one or more usernames and choose the sites to check. The report keeps the profile links, each site’s response and any checks that could not complete.

A matching username does not establish who owns an account. Sherlock can produce false matches when sites change their pages or block automated requests; use the links to check the result.

You bring

  • a folder containing search.json with usernames and sites arrays, optional timeout (1–60 seconds) and nsfw (false by default); optionally add sites.json with custom Sherlock definitionssearch

You get

  • one row per username and site, including profile URL, reported result and HTTP statusaccounts.csv
  • the complete structured report, including unavailable checksaccounts.json

Good to know

  • Use this for public profiles you have a reason to check. Results do not identify a person or prove account ownership.
  • 403, 429, server errors and failed connections are marked unavailable, not absent. A run where no site can give a usable response fails.
More setup notes
  • Sites change their detection rules. A pinned site definition can become stale even when installation still works. Custom definitions let your agent configure a site without changing the runtime.

Your files & access

  • Check the public sites you choose and read upstream's current false-positive exclusions.

What UGT sets up for you
How was it tested?

Run on clean x86-64 (Intel/AMD) and ARM64 machines on 10 Nov 2026. Its check passed on a known sample and rejected deliberately broken results.

This checks the job this page describes, not every feature of the original project.
