🚨 FBI Wanted Intelligence — Fugitives, Rewards & Most-Wanted Data

Extract FBI wanted persons data — fugitives, the Ten Most Wanted, terrorists, missing and kidnapped persons, bank robbers, cyber criminals and more — as clean, structured records. Each entry carries the subject's physical description, aliases, reward amount, field offices, locations, mugshot image URLs, official poster PDFs and a direct link to the case. Pull the full list, search by name, fetch the Ten Most Wanted, filter by category, or scope to a single FBI field office. Built on the official FBI Wanted API. Export to JSON/CSV/Excel, run on a schedule, call via API, or connect to Make, Zapier or n8n.

🚨 What is the FBI Wanted Intelligence?

It turns the FBI's public Wanted database into a structured, queryable dataset. Choose a mode — all wanted persons, a name search, the Ten Most Wanted, a category, or a specific field office — optionally include captured subjects, cap the results, and it returns every matching person with full case detail. Investigators, journalists, OSINT analysts and safety platforms use it to monitor wanted persons without scraping fbi.gov by hand.

What data does it extract?

• Identity — uid, title (name), aliases, subjects and description
• Case detail — caution, details, warning_message, person_classification and poster_classification
• Physical description — sex, race, hair, eyes, height_min/height_max, weight, build, complexion, scars_and_marks, age_range
• Background — place_of_birth, dates_of_birth_used, nationality, languages, occupations
• Reward — reward_min, reward_max and reward_text
• Location — field_offices, locations, possible_states, possible_countries and coordinates
• Media & links — image_urls (mugshots), file_urls (poster PDFs), url and status

⬇️ Input

Pick a mode, then narrow with optional filters:

Field	Description
mode (required)	all, search, ten_most_wanted, by_category, or by_field_office
searchQuery	Name or keywords to search for (used in search mode)
category	Poster category, e.g. default, ten, terrorist, kidnapping, cyber, human-trafficking
fieldOffice	FBI field office, e.g. newyork, losangeles, miami, chicago
includeCaptured	Include persons already captured (default false)
maxResults	Cap the run (1–1000, default 10 for fast first runs and automated checks)
