Find People (OSINT)

Configuration

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

Option 1: Environment variable

The script checks for x402-config.json in these locations (in order): 1. Current directory: ./x402-config.json 2. Home directory: ~/.x402-config.json ← Recommended 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
