Google account lookup

From a Gmail address to a Google account

A Gmail address is not just an inbox. Behind every Gmail, there is a Google account, and most users have left a trail of public activity across Google's services without ever realizing it. ghunt.sh takes that address and consolidates the public side of that account into a single report.

This works for both consumer Gmail ([email protected]) and Google Workspace addresses on custom domains. As long as the address is attached to a Google account with any public surface, the lookup will return the public fields Google itself exposes.

What a Google account exposes publicly

From a single Gmail or Workspace address, the report returns:

• Display name and profile photo as set on the Google account.
• The Gaia ID, the stable internal identifier Google uses for the account.
• Account type: personal Gmail vs Google Workspace.
• Public Maps contributions: reviews left, photos uploaded, places added.
• Public Calendar events, when the account has a public calendar.
• Play Games profile when the user has one.

These are all signals the account owner has chosen, at some point, to expose through Google's own privacy settings. The lookup does not crack, does not phish, does not bypass anything. If the target locked their profile down, the report comes back nearly empty.

Why most Gmail lookup tools miss the mark

Most reverse Gmail lookup tools rely on US-only people-search databases or paid breach aggregators. The data is dated, often incorrect, and almost never includes the Google-native signals (Maps reviews, public Calendar, Play Games) that are the richest public surface a Google user actually leaves online.

ghunt.sh goes directly to Google's public endpoints, chains the lookups through the Gaia ID, and returns what Google itself returns. No third-party database, no cached marketing data, no SMTP guessing.

Single Gmail lookup or bulk via CSV

For one address, run the search from the home page. Paste the Gmail, hit enter, get the report.

For a list of Gmail addresses, the bulk lookup processes a CSV in the background. Each row runs through the same engine as the single search, no degraded mode, and the result CSV gives you the consolidated public fields for every address that resolved.

Workspace accounts (custom domain Google emails)

Google Workspace accounts ([email protected] that is hosted on Google) work exactly the same way as personal Gmail for the purpose of this lookup. The Gaia ID, profile and public surfaces are all in the same shape. The report will indicate whether the account is consumer or Workspace.

Workspace accounts often expose less in Maps and Play Games (corporate users tend not to leave restaurant reviews from their work account), but the profile fields and Gaia ID still resolve.

What this lookup will not do

It will not log into the Gmail account, will not read inbox or sent mail, will not recover or reset the password, will not bypass two-factor, will not show location history, will not pull files from Drive. Every field comes from Google's own public surface for the account, nothing else.

Use this for authorized OSINT work: pentest engagements with explicit scope, threat intel investigation, journalism, due diligence, fraud research. Not for harassment, stalking, or any unauthorized profiling.

Pricing and quota

Single Gmail lookup is free with a soft daily quota per visitor. Sign in to lift the limit. Bulk Gmail lookup is a paid one-shot purchase, $0.50 per unique email with a 5-email minimum per batch ($2.50). No subscription.
