Skip Trace & People Finder — Phone, Address, Relatives

Skip Trace & People Finder — Phone, Address, Relatives

US people search and skip-trace lookup from public records. Input a name (+ optional city/state), get back the matched person's phone numbers, current address, age, relatives, and known aliases — no external API key required.

Use Cases

• Skip tracing — locate debtors, defendants, or lost contacts for debt collection and process serving
• Real-estate wholesaling — find and contact property owners associated with an address
• Sales lead enrichment — append phone and address to a name list before outreach
• Due diligence — verify identity, address history, and associative links for fraud investigation
• Investigative research — confirm person's location, relatives, and aliases from public records

Input

Field	Type	Description
names	string[]	Full names to search. Append ; City, ST to narrow results. Example: "John Smith; Dallas, TX"
maxResultsPerName	integer	How many matched people to return per name (default: 5, max: 20)
fetchProfile	boolean	Open each profile for full phone + address (default: true)
proxyConfiguration	proxy	Apify Residential proxy (recommended, default on)
maxConcurrency	integer	Parallel fetches (default: 4)

Example Input

{
  "names": [
    "James Whitsitt; Dallas, TX",
    "John Smith; CA"
  ],
  "maxResultsPerName": 5,
  "fetchProfile": true,
  "proxyConfiguration": {
    "useApifyProxy": true,
    "apifyProxyGroups": ["RESIDENTIAL"]
  }
}

Output

Each matched person is one dataset item:

{
  "inputName": "James Whitsitt; Dallas, TX",
  "name": "James Whitsitt",
  "age": "38",
  "birthYear": "1987",
  "currentAddress": "4405 Windward Cir, Dallas, TX 75287",
  "previousAddresses": ["Dallas, TX"],
  "phones": ["(214) 458-0516", "(214) 349-3972"],
  "relatives": ["Mallary A Whitsitt", "Amalia G Castillo", "Beau Whitsitt"],
  "aliases": ["James Edwin Whitsitt"],
  "profileUrl": "https://radaris.com/~James-Whitsitt/1624974868",
  "parseConfidence": "full",
  "source": "radaris.com"
}

Notes

• No external API key required. Uses Apify's built-in residential proxy — the proxy cost is billed to your run, not to us.
• Data is sourced from US public records aggregated by Radaris.
• relatives, aliases, and age are returned for virtually every match. phones and currentAddress are returned when the source exposes them on that profile — public-record coverage varies person to person, so some records carry the identity/relationship fields without a phone or address. You are billed per returned record regardless of contact-field fill (see Pricing).
• For lawful use only. Not a consumer report. Do not use for FCRA-regulated decisions (credit, employment, housing, insurance). Verify data independently.
• Email is not available in this actor (not exposed in public records). For email enrichment combine with an email-finder actor.

💰 Pricing & how we compare

Pay-per-result (PPE): $6.90 per 1,000 records. You are billed per person-result actually returned — no subscription, no API key, no proxy fee on top, no separate start fee.

Our edge: every match ships relatives and aliases in the base output — the comparable $7/1K actor gates those to its $15/1K premium tier. Name search with optional city/state narrowing; clean flat one-record-per-person.

How rivals price the same job (live Apify Store, checked 2026-06-14)

Actor	Their price	How we compare
apivault_labs/skip-trace-people-finder	$0.007 / result (Basic)	same exact job — we undercut to $0.0069 and include relatives + aliases they gate to $0.015 Premium
one-api/skip-trace	$0.02 / result (Free tier)	the usage king — richer (emails, carrier, address history) but ~3× our price
crawlerbros/radaris-people-search	$0.002 / result	same Radaris source but no phone numbers, and thinner name coverage

Prices above are competitors' live Store prices at the time of writing; ours is set to sit just below the strongest comparable at our feature tier.
