``bash`
$ npm install fingro-webfinger
#### Register Protocol
Register the WebFinger protocol with the fingro resolver.
`js`
resolver.use(require('fingro-webfinger')());
#### Resolve an Identity
With the WebFinger protocol registered, the resolver can now resolve identifiers
that support the protocol.
`js``
resolver.resolve('acct:paulej@packetizer.com', function(err, entity) {
console.log(entity);
});
#### Network
The WebFinger protocol is, unfortunately, not widely implemented by popular
mainstream online services like Google, Facebook, and Twitter. The grassroots
IndieWeb movement is building a people-focused
alternative to such services, and they provide more information
about the protocol, including services that implement support.
