TL;DR: Username => Dossier
|
|
|
|
Maigret is designed to gather all the available information about person by his username.
|
|
|
|
What kind of information is this? First, links to person accounts. Secondly, all the machine-extractable
|
|
pieces of info, such as: other usernames, full name, URLs to people's images, birthday, location (country,
|
|
city, etc.), gender.
|
|
|
|
All this information forms some dossier, but it also useful for other tools and analytical purposes.
|
|
Each collected piece of data has a label of a certain format (for example, ``follower_count`` for the number
|
|
of subscribers or ``created_at`` for account creation time) so that it can be parsed and analyzed by various
|
|
systems and stored in databases.
