What This Actor Does
The FBI Data Scraper retrieves structured data from the FBI's two live public API endpoints:
- Wanted Persons: FBI's wanted list including fugitives, missing persons, terrorists, and other persons of interest. Includes physical descriptions, reward amounts, field office assignments, and profile images.
- Stolen Art Crimes: Records from the FBI's National Stolen Art File (NSAF) — stolen paintings, sculptures, prints, jewelry, numismatic items, and other collectibles.
Use Cases
- Investigative research: Track FBI fugitives, missing persons, and persons of interest
- Art crime monitoring: Monitor stolen artwork and collectibles from the FBI's national database
- Law enforcement data: Access official FBI wanted persons data for research
- Journalism: Access official FBI data for reporting on crime and missing persons
- Security research: Analyze FBI wanted persons by classification, field office, or status

FAQ
Why can't I filter wanted persons by crime type? The FBI's public API does not support filtering by crime type. You can filter by field office, status, or person classification.
How many wanted persons are in the database? The FBI currently has over 1,000 active wanted persons listed.
How many stolen art crimes are in the database? The NSAF contains over 4,700 stolen art and collectibles records.
Is an API key required?
No. The FBI's public API (api.fbi.gov) requires no authentication.
What happened to the crime statistics (UCR) data?
The FBI's old crime statistics API (api.usa.gov/crime/fbi/sapi) was shut down. Crime statistics are no longer available via a public API — the FBI now provides annual data downloads only through CDE.
How current is the data? The FBI updates wanted persons and art crime records in near-real-time.
