Dark Web.\n\n![SL API banner](https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/d79b2edd-fb41-4724-adbc-c86b08eb13eb)\n\n**[Get documentation and trial access](https://sociallinks.io/products/sl-api?utm_source=github\u0026utm_medium=organic_social\u0026utm_campaign=github)**\n\n## Description\n\nConnect open-source data from various sources to your platform or product to solve multiple tasks:\n- Conduct deep background checks by identifying all linked accounts\n- Monitor online threats by searching and analyzing posts\n- Enrich your data by gathering information from 500+ sources\n\n## Technical features\n\n- REST API\n- Postman documentation\n- API key for authentication​\n\n## Examples\n\n### Search by Face and Name\n\nGet Zach Braff’s fan accounts on VK, YouTube, and Twitter using his name and photo.\n\n\u003ca href=\"https://asciinema.org/a/MsErFlctAsg1G4GvwzNRflzZR\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https://asciinema.org/a/MsErFlctAsg1G4GvwzNRflzZR.svg\" /\u003e\u003c/a\u003e\n\n### How to launch the script\n\n```\nexport API_DOMAIN=...\nexport API_KEY=...\n\npython3 face_search_example.py \\\n--name \"zach braff\" \\\n--photo_url \"https://hollywoodlife.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/Zach-Braff-social-image.jpg\" \\\n--platforms youtube,vk,twitter_v2\n```\n\n### Context and use cases\n\nFace recognition techniques are extremely important in many cases, such as KYC and general background checks.\nHowever, popular public tools like Pimeyes and Facecheck.id cannot always provide accurate results from social platforms.\nTo make face searches more effective, you can combine face and name searches.\n\nThis technique is straightforward: first, conduct a general search by name or alias across social media platforms.\nThis step will yield a list of potential matches, even if the name is not exactly the same — because many social media\nplatforms use fuzzy search.\n\nNext, compare the profile photos in these results with the original photo you have. This process doesn’t require access\nto a biometric database — just a name and a picture. As a result, you'll get a list of matched accounts.\n\nBut, of course, the most difficult part is to integrate your search with all needed websites. How can you do this quickly?\n\nAt Social Links, we use this approach to automatically find accounts and compare their photos across various social\nmedia platforms, ensuring that you get all related accounts regardless of the use case, whether it's KYC checks,\ninvestigations, or searching for impersonators. And that's just a small part of our powerful functionality to gather\ndata from social media!\n\n### Analyze Social Media Posts\n\nSearch for negative tweets by the \"SpaceX\" keyword.\n\n![](tweets_spacex.png)\n\n### How to launch the script\n\n```\nexport API_DOMAIN=...\nexport API_KEY=...\n\n# extract account's tweets\npython3 posts_analysis_example.py --username elonmusk\n\n# get tweets by hashtags (space-separated)\npython3 posts_analysis_example.py --hashtags \"tesla spacex\"\n\n# get tweets by keywords (space-separated)\npython3 posts_analysis_example.py --keywords \"tesla spacex\"\n```\n\n### Context and use cases\n\nEffective social media analysis is essential for gaining quick access to structured insights, supporting a variety of\nuse cases — from brand protection to VIP monitoring or gaining situational awareness and performing narrative analysis.\n\nThere are many free tools that you can use analyze social media posts, like\n[4CAT](https://github.com/digitalmethodsinitiative/4cat), [Zeeschuimer](https://github.com/digitalmethodsinitiative/zeeschuimer)\nor [Adana](https://github.com/soxoj/bellingcat-hackathon-watchcats). However, depending on your use case, you may face\nthe challenge of quickly retrieving the desired posts.\n\nThe main use cases include:\n- Retrieving posts, replies, and comments from specific accounts\n- Gathering posts by keyword or hashtag\n- Collecting posts from a particular region or specified geolocation\n\nIf you need to speed up your post analysis, Social Links API can be especially useful: it allows you to obtain posts\nfrom all major social media platforms using all the methods mentioned above. With fast access to data, you can analyze\nrelated posts, detect trends and anomalies, and automate content gathering to gain real-time insights into public\nopinion, possible risks, or evolving narratives.\n\nAdditionally, SL API supports content preprocessing functions with LLMs, such as topic and sentiment extraction,\ntranslation, and summarization, which are highly useful for identifying and prioritizing issues to explore.\n\n## How to get a trial API key\n\nLeave your request [here](https://sociallinks.io/products/sl-api?utm_source=github\u0026utm_medium=organic_social\u0026utm_campaign=github).\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2FSocialLinks-IO%2Fsociallinks-api","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2FSocialLinks-IO%2Fsociallinks-api","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2FSocialLinks-IO%2Fsociallinks-api/lists"}
