Social Account Checker

Overview

Social Account Checker is an NPM package that allows developers to verify the existence of a social media account for a given username on platforms like Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter. This package is useful for applications that need to validate social media presence, prevent fake accounts, or enhance user verification.

Features

• Supports Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter.
• Provides two ways to check an account:
  • By validating a full social media URL.
  • By directly passing the platform name and username.
• Uses Axios, Cheerio, and Puppeteer for web scraping and verification.
• Returns structured responses indicating account existence.

Installation

Install the package using npm:

1npm install social-account-checker

Usage

1. Validate Social Media Link

This method accepts a full social media URL and platform name.

1const { validateSocialMediaLink } = require('social-account-checker');
2
3(async () => {
4    const instagramLink = 'https://www.instagram.com/shhiivvaam';
5    const facebookLink = 'https://www.facebook.com/shhiivvaam';
6    const twitterLink = 'https://twitter.com/shhiivvaam';
7
8    console.log(await validateSocialMediaLink(instagramLink, 'instagram'));
9    console.log(await validateSocialMediaLink(facebookLink, 'facebook'));
10    console.log(await validateSocialMediaLink(twitterLink, 'twitter'));
11})();

2. Check Account by Platform and Username

This method accepts a platform name and username to check if the account exists.

4    console.log(await checkAccount("instagram", 'shhiivvaam'));
5    console.log(await checkAccount("facebook", 'shhiivvaam'));
6    console.log(await checkAccount("twitter", 'shhiivvaam'));
7})();
