conflict-investigations/media-search-engine
Search geolocations for (social) media posts in databases like Bellingcat, Cen4InfoRes etc.
This tool helps open-source intelligence (OSINT) investigators quickly check if a social media post or other media URL has already been geolocated and documented in major OSINT databases like Bellingcat, Cen4InfoRes, or GeoConfirmed. You input a URL, and it tells you if it's found, along with its location and descriptive details, often visualized on a map. It's designed for researchers, journalists, and analysts verifying media in conflict zones or for investigative purposes.
113 stars. No commits in the last 6 months.
Use this if you need to rapidly cross-reference media URLs against established OSINT geolocation databases to avoid duplicating effort or to find additional context about a post's location.
Not ideal if you're looking for a tool to perform new geolocations from scratch or to conduct broad searches beyond checking specific URLs against existing databases.
