How can i use maigret inside python script?

[krischal]

The only way given is through shell command. But is there any way i can use it through python script?

[techdragon]

It is possible but contrary to the documentation saying:

Simple API

Maigret can be easily integrated with the use of Python package maigret.

Example: the official Telegram bot

It's significantly more complex than it ideally should be and the linked telegram bot is not a particularly good example as its both out of date and bundles its own data to avoid the complexity of using the data built into the maigret library...

I'm slowly building a more useful python library/wrapper around maigret, but I'm not sure I'll want to share it because of how fragile it will be since a large part of the necessary inputs for the functions is entirely dictated by the argparsing command line functionality.

@soxoj is there any API we can use instead of cli?

[soxoj]

You can import Maigret and utilize the maigret.search function, as demonstrated in wizard.py. This approach is straightforward and provides a list of discovered accounts after completing all the checks.

Please let me know if this meets your needs or if you require a different type of API to retrieve the results. I’ll be happy to implement it.
