This is an R wrapper around the C++ implementation https://github.com/bhatiasiddharth/MIDAS

MIDAS can help social networks like Twitter and Facebook detect fake profiles used for spam and phishing in real-time, at a speed many times greater than existing state-of-the-art models.

Is there a Python library for this as well?

Yes, there is a Python implementation available. MIDAS has also been converted to Rust and Ruby. Please check out the Github page for the links.
