# **Telegram bot**

For a quick demo, you can try the bot on [telegram](http://t.me/gitsint_bot).

Here are the commands you can use with the bot:

## Telegram bot commands

Atm the bot is down, will be fixed.

- `help` - Display help message
- `register $TOKEN` - Register your GitHub token
- `gitsint $USERNAME` - Search for a GitHub user

> `⚠️ To prevent abuse, the bot is rate-limited to 1 request per minute.`<br>
> `⭐ You can use your own token and star this repo to bypass this limitation.`

### 📚 CLI Example

```console
# Basic public scan
gitsint exemple

# Scan including forks
gitsint exemple --fork

# Limit by max repo size (in KB)
gitsint exemple --size 5000

# Use GitHub token (required for --private)
gitsint exemple --token $TOKEN

# Scan own private repos
gitsint yourname --token $TOKEN --private

# Save output to a specific folder
gitsint exemple --output ./my-results

# Export to JSON + CSV
gitsint exemple --csv --json

# Run Gitleaks scan on all cloned repos
gitsint exemple --token $TOKEN --private --gitleaks

# Check for Gitsint updates
gitsint exemple --check-update

```

### 📈 Python Example

Gitsint can be imported as a module to run targeted scans in your own scripts:

```python
import trio
import httpx

from gitsint.modules.profile.friends import friends

async def main():
    username = "exemple"
    out = []
    client = httpx.AsyncClient()

await friends({'login':username}, client, out, [])

print(out)

await client.aclose()

trio.run(main)
```

## Module Output

For each module, data is returned in a standard dictionary with the following json-equivalent format :

```json
{
  "name": "module_name",
  "rateLimit": false,
  "exists": true,
  "data": "[{...}]",
  "others": null
}
```
- name : The name of the module ( friends, profile, repository.. )
- rateLitmit : Lets you know if you've been rate-limited.
- exists : If an account exists for the email on that service.
- data : The data returned by the module.
- others : Any extra info.

Rate limited? Use a token.

### 🔧 Poetry-based Setup (Recommended)

```bash
# Clone the repository
git clone https://github.com/zerostats/gitsint.git
cd gitsint

# Install poetry if you haven't
curl -sSL https://install.python-poetry.org | python3 -

# Install dependencies
poetry install

# Activate the virtual environment
poetry shell

# Run the CLI
poetry run gitsint username
```

### 🔍 Useful Dev Commands

```bash
poetry run black gitsint/         # Format code
poetry run isort gitsint/         # Sort imports
```

### 💡 Dev Notes

* Modules live in gitsint/modules/ and are fully async
* Use out.append({...}) to return module results
* Optional flags (--token, --gitleaks, etc.) are available in the args object
