[FEAT] Output JSON format

It would be nice if sherlock could output the results in json format. This would help integrating sherlock with other tools.

example:

{
    "claimed": [
        {
            "name": "2Dimensions",
            "url": "https://2Dimensions.com/a/user123",
            "urlMain": "https://2Dimensions.com/"
        },
        {
            "name": "3dnews",
            "url": "http://forum.3dnews.ru/member.php?username=user123",
            "urlMain": "http://forum.3dnews.ru/"
        }
        // and so on
    ]
}

this would make importing data much easier. this feature then can be paired with other tools and APIs for specific sites which would help create a clear profile of the target which would help eliminate other users using the same username.

Just an FYI for anyone visiting this in the future:

I eventually ended up switching to maigret. It’s a fork of Sherlock which provides many more output formats (including html and pdf reports) and a lot more websites.

Hello , @sdushantha. I was really upset when you just said that nobody wanted to use a json output, since json is simply the most important if someone wants to integrate sherlock into some automation, not to mention that most cli tools have json output, so since you told the guy to do his solution, I did it here in 5 minutes and I wanted to share it in this issue for anyone who needs this implementation: The code can receive stdint for usage with ‘|’ in terminal or can be changed to recive some os.popen response.

import json
import sys
sherlock_output = sys.stdin.read().strip('\n').splitlines()
dict_out = {}
del sherlock_output[0]
for result in sherlock_output:
	result = result.strip('[+] ')
	line_split = result.split(': ')
	dict_out[line_split[0]] = line_split[1]
print(json.dumps(dict_out))

To run:

python3 sherlock <username> | python3 to_json.py
