What you get

Every signal behind a name

Submit a full name and IRBIS returns a structured identity map — social accounts, usernames, web presence, linked contacts, and consistency signals.

Social Graph Mapping

Discover all social media accounts linked to the name across LinkedIn, Twitter, Instagram, GitHub, Facebook, and 200+ other platforms in a single search.

Username Discovery

Surface all usernames and handles associated with the name across platforms — revealing the full breadth of someone's online identity footprint.

Profile Enrichment

Each matched profile is enriched with platform context, profile URLs, account age signals, and identity consistency indicators.

Web Presence Score

A depth-of-presence signal showing how established and consistent the identity is across the web — useful for fraud detection and KYC confidence scoring.

Contact Signal Linking

Where available, IRBIS links the name to associated emails, phone numbers, and other contact identifiers found across public sources.

Cross-Platform Consistency

Analyze whether the identity is consistent across platforms — matching names, photos, and bios — or shows signs of fragmented or synthetic identity patterns.

How it works

From name to social graph in four steps

Submit the name

Pass a full name to the IRBIS API — optionally add location or known affiliations for narrower results

Scan 200+ platforms

IRBIS queries social networks, professional directories, forums, and public web sources simultaneously

Map the graph

Matched profiles are cross-referenced and organized into a structured identity map with confidence signals

Receive results

A normalized JSON response returns matched profiles, platform URLs, usernames, and linked identifiers

Who uses it

Built for every team that starts with a name

Name lookup is foundational for any workflow where all you have is a person's name — and you need to build a full identity picture from it.

OSINT & Investigations

Build a complete digital identity map starting from a name alone. Surface all public-facing accounts, usernames, and web presence for investigative research and due diligence.

KYC & Compliance

Validate that a customer's provided name is consistent with their broader digital identity. Use web presence depth as a supplementary KYC signal during onboarding.

HR & Background Screening

Verify applicant names against their claimed online professional presence. Cross-reference LinkedIn, GitHub, and other professional profiles to confirm identity and credentials.

Finance & AML

Cross-reference customer names against public profiles as part of AML screening. Thin or inconsistent name presence signals higher synthetic identity risk.

Sales & B2B Research

Enrich prospect names with full social graph data before outreach. Discover the right platforms, usernames, and professional signals to personalize your approach.

Marketplace Trust & Safety

Verify that a user's provided name corresponds to a real, consistent online identity — reducing fake accounts, impersonation, and trust abuse on your platform.

FAQ

Common questions

What does the name lookup tool find?

IRBIS searches for all publicly available social media profiles, usernames, and web presence associated with the submitted name across 200+ platforms — returning matched URLs, platform names, usernames, and identity confidence signals.

How accurate are the name matches?

Each result includes a confidence score. Common names may return multiple candidates — adding location or employer context to the API call significantly improves precision. Results are ranked by confidence.

Can I search with partial or alternate names?

Yes. The API accepts full names, nicknames, and name variations. Supplying additional context — like location, company, or known username — narrows the results and increases confidence scores significantly.

Is the search confidential?

Yes. All searches are completely confidential. The person being searched is never notified. IRBIS only retrieves publicly available information. ESPY is GDPR-compliant and ISO 27001 certified.

Can I combine name search with other IRBIS lookups?

Absolutely. You can chain name lookup results into phone, email, or facial recognition lookups to build a complete identity profile. The People Score also accepts a name as one of its four input signals.

How long does a name lookup take?

Name lookup uses an async job model. Submit the request, receive a job ID, and poll for results — typically completing within 15–30 seconds as 200+ platforms are queried in parallel.
