📦 TorLens — Real-time Tor network monitoring and node data library for Node.js

TorLens is our companion Node.js library built for developers who want direct access to Tor relay metadata in their own applications.

With TorLens, you can:

  • 🔍 Query nodes by IP, fingerprint, or host
  • 📥 Fetch live relay data
  • 🛠 Integrate Tor network intelligence into custom tools, scripts, or dashboards
  • 📚 Use as a backend module for monitoring or OSINT purposes

TorLens makes working with the Tor network programmatically easy, clean, and scalable.
