Hi @senthilnayagam
My plan is create it after modulation of sherlock #112, and then use sherlock as core module of the api; In that way codebase would be much simpler and clear.
And I will be appreciated to have your help.

I have built an open-source REST API centered around social media username checking. You may use my hosted version in your applications or self-host.

@TheYahya
I'm always accepting PRs to the repo, it is built using Node.

thanks @crock , will check it out

I did build a flask api version using Sherlock , but for that I had to disable file writes, and also stdout coloured output and other features, it works but code does not look clean, thus the request I made the feature request

Look good @crock
like @senthilnayagam mention above, till sherlock become a pipy module, Having api would be difficult, But soon I will merge #112 ☺️
