||
| ## Limitations & Ethical Considerations | ||
|
|
||
| ## Limitations | ||
| List of supported websites can be found [here](https://github.com/sherlock-project/sherlock/blob/master/docs/sites.md). | ||
|
|
||
| \[\[The limitations of each tool should be described. This is important for researchers if they want to decide whether they should invest the time to learn how to use a new tool.]] | ||
| Sherlock does not allow for fuzzy keyword searches, wildcards or regular expressions. It allows for bulk data input from a JSON file. | ||
|
|
||
| ## Ethical Considerations | ||
| The results from Sherlock are fairly high-credibility, thought accounts on various websites require authentication to view or are private. There are occasional false positives, though fewer number of them compared to browser-based tools like Namechk. The tool does not have visibility into Discord, and it misses accounts on more established social networking sites, like Facebook and LinkedIn, potentially due to these sources' anti-scraping efforts. | ||
|
|
||
| \[\[The ethical considerations of each tool should be described.]] | ||
| There is an [API](https://github.com/sherlock-project/api) for the project but 1) requires knowledge of Django REST Framework (DRF) to use in development , 2) has not been updated in at least 3 years.  | ||
|
|
||

|
||
| \[\[Link to a guide on this tool]] | ||
