        ## When it may be useful
        
        - Getting all available info by the username or/and account UID. Examples: [Week in OSINT](https://medium.com/week-in-osint/getting-a-grasp-on-googleids-77a8ab707e43), [OSINTCurious](https://osintcurio.us/2019/10/01/searching-instagram-part-2/)

        - Searching by commonly used cross-service UIDs (GAIA ID, Facebook UID, Yandex Public ID, etc.)
          - DB leaks of forums and platforms in SQL format
