Bulk Social Media Availability Checker

About

OGC is a command-line tool to bulk check a list of usernames on various social media services

For the most part, it works with any site that has web-based profile pages.

The first line of code for this project was written in February 2017.

The source code is available to view on GitHub. I am currently accepting contributions from both new and experienced developers. I actively tag issues with good-first-issue to help new developers get valuable experience to land them a job in tech.

Installation

  1. Download the zip or clone the repo with Git on your local machine.

  2. Now you need to make your terminal know where to find the checker files, so type the following command in Command Prompt or Terminal. 

    3. cd path

    Note: Do not type the actual word path. Instead, type the direct path to the username checker folder you downloaded and extracted.

    1. Install the dependencies using the following command inside Command Prompt (Windows) or Terminal (Mac). If you use Python.exe, it will not work. 

      python -m pip install -r requirements.txt

    2. Edit the config.ini inside your favorite text editor. I have put lots of comments to explain what each option does.

    3. Run the script via command line using the following command 

      python og.py

    If it says the file cannot be found, you are using an outdated version of this program. Either change the command as follows or download the latest version. 

    python OGCheckr.py

Contributing

As this is just a personal side project, I only work on it when I have time, so I would love your help to make improvements! Just make a pull request and I'll review the changes as soon as I can.

If you are not a developer, you can also help me greatly by opening issues with bugs you encounter while running the script.

If you would like to see further improvements and updates for free, please consider donating a few dollars as it really helps me to set aside time out of my busy schedule to work on improving the script. All contributions are great appreciated! 🙂
