Find People (OSINT)

Research individuals using Open Source Intelligence gathering and AI-powered analysis.

Configuration

The private key must be available via one of these methods:

Option 1: Environment variable

export X402_PRIVATE_KEY="0x..."

Option 2: Config file (Recommended)

The script checks for x402-config.json in these locations (in order):

  1. Current directory: ./x402-config.json
  2. Home directory: ~/.x402-config.jsonRecommended
  3. Working directory: $PWD/x402-config.json

Create the config file:

{
  "private_key": "0x1234567890abcdef..."
}

Example (home directory - works for any user):

echo '{"private_key": "0x..."}' > ~/.x402-config.json

Usage

Run the research script with a person's name or description:

scripts/research.sh "<person query>"

The script:

  • Executes OSINT research with payment handling
  • Costs $0.15 USDC per request (Base network)
  • Returns comprehensive AI-processed intelligence report
