Update (31 January 2021) - It appears there have been some additional changes to Mojang's API, causing issues with the checker.
Purchasing disabled until fixed.
At the moment, the checker does filter taken/not-taken names, but may fail to distinguish between available/dropping soon.
If you have purchased this resource in the past 90 days (01 Nov 2020 - 01 Feb 2021) and are dissatisfied due to these API changes and would like a refund, please PM me.
V1.3 RELEASED (25 DECEMBER 2019). FIX FOR UPDATED MOJANG API. INCREASED STABILITY. VIEW THIS POST:
https://www.mc-market.org/threads/234138/#post-4324410
My new and improved Minecraft username checker, written in Python.
If you need help installing Python or running the program, please see my comprehensive guide here:
http://www.mc-market.org/threads/234797
If you have any Python questions, I would suggest posting them there so I (or anyone else) can answer them.
This checker currently checks up to 600 usernames per minute.
As of v1.2, it distinguishes between 'available' and 'dropping soon' names.
If you would like a general social media checker (Twitter, Instagram, Steam, Mixer, Twitch, GitHub, SoundCloud, About.me, YouTube), I highly recommend Croc's checker, available here:

The sample file includes 10000 English words.

Feel free to PM me on MC-Market and I will be happy to negotiate a deal if you would like to implement/share/reuse my code.
* Please note, some names are blocked by Mojang (usually swear words but some are unusual, like 'shore' - as of 02 July 2019) and will be categorized as 'available'. If Mojang updates its API to show blocked names, this 'bug' will be fixed.
** Similarly, some names are simply 'unavailable' (like 'regardless' - as of 02 July 2019) due to a possible bug(s) in Mojang's system. These names will be categorized as 'dropping soon'. If Mojang corrects this problem, this 'bug' will be fixed.
It should also be noted that separating available from dropping soon is not as fast as sorting taken/not-taken.
Also, non-Latin characters are not supported (for example, if your username list contains Pokemon names, or general non-English words). You can use the following regular expression (regex) to filter any invalid characters (using something like Notepad++):
