About
-----
theHarvester is a simple to use, yet powerful tool designed to be used during the reconnaissance stage of a red
team assessment or penetration test. It performs open source intelligence (OSINT) gathering to help determine
a domain's external threat landscape. The tool gathers names, emails, IPs, subdomains, and URLs by using
multiple public resources that include:

## Package versions
[![Packaging status](https://repology.org/badge/vertical-allrepos/theharvester.svg)](https://repology.org/project/theharvester/versions)

Install and dependencies
------------------------
* Python 3.12 or higher.
* https://github.com/laramies/theHarvester/wiki/Installation

Install uv:
   ```bash
   curl -LsSf https://astral.sh/uv/install.sh | sh
   ```

Clone the repository:
   ```bash
   git clone https://github.com/laramies/theHarvester
   cd theHarvester
   ```

Install dependencies and create a virtual environment:
   ```bash
   uv sync
   ```

Run theHarvester:
   ```bash
   uv run theHarvester
   ```

## Development

To install development dependencies:
```bash
uv sync --all-groups
```

To run tests:
```bash
uv run pytest
```

To run linting and formatting:
```bash
uv run ruff check
```
```bash
uv run ruff format
```

To protect the optional `/additional/*` REST API routes, set `THEHARVESTER_API_KEY` and pass the same value in the `X-API-Key` header. Those routes return `503` when the key is not configured.
