FAQ

Is this US-only? Yes. AnyWho covers US public records only.

How many results will I get? Coverage depends on what AnyWho has indexed. Common names in major cities return multiple results; uncommon names or rural areas may return zero. maxResultsPerSearch caps the output per query.

Can I search multiple people at once? Yes. The searches field accepts a list of any length. Queries run in sequence with a configurable delay between them.

What data is this based on? Public records aggregated by AnyWho. This actor does not access private databases.

Why might a search return no results? The person may not be listed on AnyWho, or the name/state combination may be too broad or too specific. Try without city if you included one, or verify the state abbreviation.
