README
# findmyname
**Check username availability on various websites including:**
- Instagram
- Steam
- GitHub
The findmyname project includes a set of username checkers, each in its own directory with a dedicated README. All tools use shared utilities, ensuring consistent functionality and making it easy to add new websites. Some leverage proxies while others implement smart techniques to bypass rate limits.
## Configuration
Set up all tools with one `config.json` file in the main directory.
1. Copy the example config:
```bash
cp example.config.json config.json
```
2. Edit `config.json` with tool-specific details.
Defaults are used if no config is provided.
## Usage
Each tool has its own `README.md` with full details. Run a tool like this:
```bash
# Example for Steam
python steam/checker.py
```
## Input Processing
Input files are cleaned up by removing:
- Invalid usernames per site rules
- Previously checked usernames
- Usernames too short or long per config
- Duplicates
## Output
Results save to `data/`. Console shows progress, like:
```
