## Pricing

from $3.00 / 1,000 verified person skip-trace (wireless phone / email found)s

This Actor is paid per event. You are not charged for the Apify platform usage, but only a fixed price for specific events.
Since this Actor supports Apify Store discounts, the price gets lower the higher subscription plan you have.

## What's an Apify Actor?

An Actor is a serverless cloud program that runs on the Apify platform. It has two run modes.
In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours,
and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store.
In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server.

Apify vocabulary and the platform model are defined once, in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md.

## How to integrate an Actor?

If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects.
You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready.

Do not guess an integration path. Every one of them is in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md: the Apify MCP server, Agent Skills with the Apify CLI, the JavaScript and Python clients, the REST API, and the account-free path for an agent with no human to sign in. It also carries the rule on stating cost before the first paid run.

For examples already wired to this Actor's own input schema, see the [API](#api) section below.

Each client library has reference documentation the quickstart does not restate: [JavaScript/TypeScript](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md) (`npm install apify-client`) and [Python](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md) (`pip install apify-client`).

### Compliance & permitted use

- **Not a consumer reporting agency (FCRA).** CEA Digital is not a consumer reporting agency, and results are not "consumer reports" under the Fair Credit Reporting Act (15 U.S.C. § 1681 et seq.). Do not use this data, in whole or in part, to decide anyone's eligibility for credit, insurance, employment, housing or tenancy, or for any other purpose covered by the FCRA.
- **Calls and texts (TCPA).** Many returned numbers are wireless. Under the Telephone Consumer Protection Act (47 U.S.C. § 227), calls made with an autodialer or a prerecorded or artificial voice, and marketing texts, to wireless numbers generally require the recipient's prior express consent, and telemarketing requires prior express written consent. "Dialer-ready" columns are a file format, not consent. Obtaining consent is your responsibility.
- **Do-Not-Call.** Before any telemarketing, scrub every number against the National Do Not Call Registry and applicable state DNC lists, and honor opt-out requests. Some states, such as Florida and Oklahoma, have stricter "mini-TCPA" laws.
- **Email (CAN-SPAM).** Commercial emails must identify you as the sender, include a valid physical postal address and offer a working opt-out that you honor within 10 business days.
- **Accuracy.** Records come from public and third-party sources and may be outdated or wrong. Verify before acting. Results are provided as-is.
- **Your responsibility.** You are solely responsible for complying with all federal, state and local laws that apply to how you use this data. This section is general information, not legal advice.
