🎚️ Two tiers — pick what you need

Field	Basic · $7 / 1K	Premium · $15 / 1K
Full name + age	✅	✅
Current address	✅	✅
Phone numbers	✅	✅
Public profile link	✅	✅
Phone line types (Wireless / Landline)	—	✅
Full address history	—	✅
Emails	—	✅
Relatives	—	✅
Aliases / name variants	—	✅
Work & education hints	—	✅
Net-worth estimate (from public real-estate data)	—	✅
Last-updated date of the record	—	✅
Date born	—	✅

Set "tier": "basic" (default) or "tier": "premium" in the input. You only pay for matched records — empty lookups are free.

⬆️ When to upgrade to Premium ($15/1K)

Use Basic to locate someone fast (name, age, current address, phones). Flip one field — "tier": "premium" — when you need to verify and act:

• Confirm the right person with date of birth + full address history
• Reach them on the right line — Wireless vs Landline types
• Open new contact paths — relatives, associates, and aliases
• Qualify the lead — emails + a net-worth estimate from public real-estate data
• Trust the freshness — each record's last-updated date

One field flip roughly doubles the data depth — ideal for wholesalers, collectors and investigators who act on what they find.

🔍 Three search modes

You can mix all three in a single run. Each value in each array is one lookup.

1. By name

{
  "name": [
    "James E Whitsitt",
    "Amalia Castillo; Dallas, TX 75228"
  ],
  "max_results": 3
}

Add a location after a semicolon — Name; City, ST ZIP — to narrow results.

2. By address

{
  "street_citystatezip": [
    "2551 Pinebluff Dr; Dallas, TX 75228"
  ]
}

Returns the people associated with an address.

3. By phone (reverse lookup)

{
  "phone_number": ["(214) 321-5304"]
}

Returns the likely owner of the number.

• Records with no match are returned with "success": false and are not charged.
• Every run starts with a recordType: "notice" record and every result carries a complianceNotice field restating the acceptable-use terms.
