=========================================================Description:usufy is a GPLv3+ piece of software that checks the existence of a
profile for a given user in a bunch of different platforms using the
error messages displayed by most platforms when a user profile has not
been found as the evidence of the existence or not of a given profile.
Its inheritance system has been designed to allow an easy development of
new wrappers while its multiprocessing conception shows the results
fastly.The supported networks include by 2014-12-26 are: ‘500px’, ‘adtriboo’,

You should have received a copy of the GNU General Public License
along with this program.  If not, see <http://www.gnu.org/licenses/>.For more details on this issue, run:pythonusufy-launcher.py--licenseInstallation:The instructions may vary in the different OS. However, we strongly
recommend to install the i3visiotools package separately, as you will be
able to configure your credentials for the different platforms and
private API. If you don’t have any, you can go on with this tutorial.Under LinuxWe recommend you to create a folder under /var owned by the current
user. For instance:# You will need superuser privileges to create this folder  sudo mkdir /var/i3visio # You will need to change the owner to your user to work with it safely # If your user was alice sudo chown alice:alice /var/i3visioThe rest of the installation under Python 2.7 is as follows:# Navigate to the destiny's folder cd /var/i3visio # Cloning the repository. Recommended for developers. git clonehttp://github.com/i3visio/usufyusufy-mastercdusufy-masteror# Navigate to the destiny's folder cd /var/i3visio # Download wgethttp://github.com/i3visio/usufy/archive/master.zip# Unzip unzipusufy-master.zipcdusufy-masterThen you can resume the installation.# Superuser privileges are required so as to complete the installation. sudo python setup.py build sudo python setup.py installAfterwards, the module will be importable from any python code. You can
check this by typing:python-c"import usufy"If no error is
displayed, the installation would have been performed correctly.Usage:So as to run the program, navigate to /var/i3visio/usufy-mster/usufy and
run:pythonusufy-launcher.py-hThe usage is described as follows:usage:usufy-launcher.py(--info<action> |-l<path_to_nick_list> |-n<nick> [<nick>...])[-p<platform> [<platform>...]][-t<tag> [<tag>...]][-a][-e<sum_ext> [<sum_ext>...]][-o<path_to_output_folder>][-v<verbosity>][-h][--license][--version]The functionalities are described as follows: ``` Input options (one
required): There are two different ways of receiving the nicks in
usufy-launcher.py:–info select the action to be performed amongst the following:
list_platforms (list the details of the selected platforms) or
list_tags (list the tags of the selected platforms). -l , –list path
to the file where the list of nicks to verify is stored (one per line).
-n [ …], –nicks [ …] the list of nicks to process (at least one is
required).Platform selection arguments: Criteria for selecting the platforms where
performing the search.-p [ …], –platforms [ …] select the platforms where you want to
perform the search amongst the following: all, badoo, blip, delicious,
ebay, facebook, foursquare, googleplus, karmacracy, klout,
myspace,pastebin, pinterest, slideshare, twitter, vk, youtube. More than
one option can be selected. -t [ …], –tags [ …] select the list of
tags that fit the platforms in which you want to perform the search.
More than one option can be selected.Processing arguments: Configuring the way in which usufy will process
the identified profiles.-a, –avoid_processing argument to force usufy NOT to process the
downloaded valid profiles. -e [ …], –extension [ …] output
extension for the summary file (at least, one required). Currently
supported: csv, json. -o , –output_folder output folder for the
generated documents. While if the paths does not exist,
usufy-launcher.py will try to create; if this argument is not provided,
usufy will NOT write any down any data. Check permissions if something
goes wrong.About arguments: Showing additional information about this program.-h, –help shows the version of the program and exists. –license shows
the GPLv3 license. –version shows the version of the program and
exists. ```Examples:The capabilities of the tool can be divided as informative, basic
searches and processing.Informative:These commands can be used to gather information about the state of the
application. - Checking some details of all the platforms to be
processed:pythonusufy-launcher.py--infolist_platforms- Checking
some details of the platforms labelled as ‘social’ and ‘contact’:pythonusufy-launcher.py-psocial contact--infolist_platforms-
Checking the number of platforms categorised under each and every tag:pythonusufy-launcher.py--infolist_tagsTo gather additional
information about the tool, you may type: - Checking the help of the
application:pythonusufy-launcher.py-hIt may be recommended to be
run as to read it step by step:pythonusufy-launcher.py-h| less-
Checking the current version of the application:pythonusufy-launcher.py--version- Checking the terms of the
license:pythonusufy-launcher.py--licenseAgain, it may be
recommended to be run as to read it step by step:pythonusufy-launcher.py--license| lessBasic Searches:The basic searches will only print the results in the terminal. Here are
some examples: - Checking if the user ‘example’ exist in all the
platforms (‘-p all’ is not needed):pythonusufy-launcher.py-nexampleWe can also use the long version
of the commands. In this case, the long version of ‘-n’ is ‘–nick’.
Check the section before for further details.pythonusufy-launcher.py--nickexample- Checking if the users
‘example1’ and ‘example2’ exist in all the platforms (‘-p all’ is not
needed):pythonusufy-launcher.py-nexample1 example2- Checking if
the users ‘example1’ and ‘example2’ exist ONLY in Facebook and Twitter:pythonusufy-launcher.py-nexample1 example2 - p facebook twitter-
Checking if the users existing in ‘test.txt’ exist in the Platforms
tagged as ‘social’:pythonusufy-launcher.py-ltest.txt-tsocialAdditional processing:Apart from the console output, usufy-launcher.py is capable of
generating additional resources: - Checking if the user ‘example’ exist
in all the platforms and storing the information of the successfully
found profiles in a folder called ‘./results’ (this will create the
folder if it does not exist):pythonusufy-launcher.py-nexample-o./resultsThis option will
download the information of the profiles as well as creating a .csv file
by default with the profiles found. This .csv file can be changed for a
Json file:pythonusufy-launcher.py-nexample-o./results-ejson- Checking if the users listed in a ‘test.txt’ file exist in all the
platforms WITHOUT stotring
the successfully found profiles but keeping the results in a Json file:pythonusufy-launcher.py-nexample-o./results-ejson--avoid_processing
