Google links not working

[r2d2V2]

The command shows useless links that cannot be opened in a browser. I hope my issue is not extremely stupid.

I ran:
phoneinfoga scan -n "+1 555-444-3333"

Expected behavior
I thought I could just copy & paste them into firefox.

Desktop:
Description: Ubuntu 20.04 LTS

Those links shows up:

Why do you mean by "cannot be opened in a browser" ? All those links work fine for me.

[sundowndev]

The link is working but there's no results. Those links are just generated.

[r2d2V2]

I just thought it's gonna show smth useful. I watched some yt vids about PhoneInfoga and people just copy-pasted links and saw results.

So this PhoneInfoga does not rly give much information.

[sundowndev]

Obviously not all scans point to results. Some Google links may simply return no results, that's the normal behavior.

[r2d2V2]

To be honest i prefer the older version where PhoneInfoga shows "valid" links, that mean sth.

[r2d2V2]

Now it gives completely basic information, can be considered useless.

To be honest i prefer the older version where PhoneInfoga shows "valid" links, that mean sth.

That version was causing users to have troubleshoots using Selenium web driver. I plan to introduce this feature again in a later version.

I am facing same problem,
but honestly great job man

I was confused by this too, thanks for clearing it up. Is there a way to detect the "no results" message and display it, or would that cause issues with google's captcha?

@ITCMD Currently there's no way to do that automatically, because Google captcha puts some hard technical limitations.

This issue is no longer marked for closure.

bro the libnks are not openening in google chrome and not in any of the browser !

[dearinheadlights1]

Yeah, i can't get any links to show results. Went down the list of my contacts and most i can find on Whitepages but out of 100 not 1 came back with a results just the generated links

[dearinheadlights1]

But in all honesty you guys do a good job. I couldn't come up with this stuff. Not yet anyway.

I have experimented this tool with my own phone number. But the links provided related to the social media accounts are not valid, i.e., the link doesn't give any results. Is there any way to get this corrected/known solution to get the valid links ?
