One lookup here asks each platform you tick: /v1/instagram/profile, /v1/tiktok/profile, /v1/twitter/profile, /v1/threads/profile, /v1/bluesky/profile, /v1/youtube/channel, /v1/github/user. Each is one request, 1 credit.

Questions

What does Not found mean?

The platform has no profile with that name right now. Names that are reserved, banned or held by a suspended account can still be blocked when you try to register.

Why does it check seven platforms?

So you can see a name's whole footprint at once. Untick the ones you do not need; each platform checked is one lookup against your hourly allowance.

Bluesky needs a domain.

A bare name is checked as name.bsky.social. To check a custom domain handle, use the Bluesky profile viewer.

Is this tool free?

Yes. No account and no card. Each visitor gets a limited number of lookups an hour, so it stays free for everyone.

How do I get this data in my own app?

Send GET /v1/instagram/profile with your key in the x-api-key header. A request costs 1 credit. A repeat of something fetched recently costs 0 credits, and failed requests are free. See the reference.
