Social accounts

Hand us one username, email, or phone number and we fan it out across platforms, checking each for a live account. Every hit comes back with what that platform exposes; a platform that does not answer is reported as a failure, not counted as an absence.

What resolving an identifier means

There is no central directory of who holds an account where. The only way to find out whether a handle exists on a platform is to ask that platform, one at a time. Fanning out is that asking, done in parallel: 581 checks for a username, 18 for an email address, 5 for a phone number, each answered by the site itself rather than by a list someone compiled once.

Because the answer comes from the platform, it is current: a handle registered this morning is found this morning, one deleted last week comes back absent. That is the difference between resolving an identifier and searching an index of it.

What a profile can hand you next

A profile usually names other identifiers - a second handle, a contact address, a link to another site. Each is a query in its own right, so a trail can be followed by hand as far as it goes.

What comes back is only what the platform shows the public. This reads profiles that anyone could open, at scale and in one place. It does not sign in, and it holds nothing a platform keeps private.

What a query returns.

One record is the set of live accounts a single identifier resolves to across platforms, each carrying whatever that platform exposes about it.

Query by
username, email, phone
Platforms reached
581 by username, 18 by email, 5 by phone
Answer per platform
live account, none, or no answer
Reachable by
dashboard only

The resolver reports each platform as it answers, so the count on screen climbs while the search is still running.

This surface runs in the dashboard on every self-serve plan. Programmatic access to it is arranged separately rather than sold as a tier.

InfoBreach

Start with one identifier.

Free runs 25 searches a day across breach and device records, and 25 each for people search and social. Withheld rows unlock five a week, or a paid plan reveals them outright.

Not ready for an account? Check one identifier with no signup. The demo returns a masked sample of what the indexes found.
