## What's an Apify Actor?

Actors are a software tools running on the Apify platform, for all kinds of web data extraction and automation use cases.
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.
Actors are written with capital "A".

## 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.
The best way to integrate Actors is as follows.

In JavaScript/TypeScript projects, use official [JavaScript/TypeScript client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js.md):

```bash
npm install apify-client
```

In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python.md):

```bash
pip install apify-client
```

In shell scripts, use [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md):

````bash
# MacOS / Linux
curl -fsSL https://apify.com/install-cli.sh | bash
# Windows
irm https://apify.com/install-cli.ps1 | iex
```bash

In AI frameworks, you might use the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/mcp.md).

If your project is in a different language, use the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md).

For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below.

For more details, see Apify documentation as [Markdown index](https://docs.apify.com/llms.txt) and [Markdown full-text](https://docs.apify.com/llms-full.txt).


# README

## SkipTrace People Lookup

Look up people by name (optionally narrowed by city/state) against
[radaris.com](https://radaris.com) and export matching public profile
records — known addresses, relatives, alternate name spellings, and
geo-coordinates — as a structured Apify dataset.

Powered by radaris.com. The scraper returns public name-based people
records with addresses and relatives. **Phone / email reverse lookup is
not supported** — radaris indexes people by name only.

The scraper is lightweight, HTTP-only (`curl_cffi` + BeautifulSoup), and
does not require cookies, login, or a browser runtime. Pair it with
Apify's built-in schedules to run recurring skip-trace enrichments
against your own lead lists.

### Input

| Field | Type | Required | Description |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| `fullName` | string | yes | Full name to look up, e.g. `John Smith`. |
| `city` | string | no | City to narrow the search, e.g. `Dallas`. |
| `state` | string | no | US state abbreviation, e.g. `CA`, `TX`, `NY`. |
| `phone` | string | no | Accepted for compatibility but unused — radaris does not support phone reverse-lookup. |
| `email` | string | no | Accepted for compatibility but unused — radaris does not support email reverse-lookup. |
| `maxItems` | integer | no | Max person records to return (default `3`, max `500`). |

`fullName` is required. If it is blank — even when a phone or email is
provided — the actor emits an `invalid_input` sentinel row instead of
failing the run.

#### Example input

```json
{
    "fullName": "John Smith",
    "state": "CA",
    "maxItems": 3
}
````

### Output

Each matched person is pushed as a single row with the following
fields. Only populated fields are included — no `null` values.

| Field | Type | Description |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `type` | string | Always `skip_trace_person` for person rows. |
| `id` | string | Stable radaris identifier (e.g. `John-Smith`). |
| `url` | string | Canonical radaris.com profile URL. |
| `fullName` | string | Matched person's full name. |
| `firstName` | string | Given name. |
| `lastName` | string | Family name. |
| `age` | integer | Age if radaris exposes it. |
| `addresses` | object\[] | Known locations (`{street, city, state, zip, country}`). |
| `relatives` | object\[] | Family members and known associates (`{name, relation?, url?}`). |
| `alternateNames` | string\[] | Alternate name spellings / known aliases. |
| `latitude` | number | Geo-coordinate latitude of the primary home location. |
| `longitude` | number | Geo-coordinate longitude of the primary home location. |
| `scrapedAt` | string | ISO-8601 UTC timestamp of scrape. |

#### Example output

```json
{
    "type": "skip_trace_person",
    "id": "John-Smith",
    "url": "https://radaris.com/p/John/Smith/",
    "fullName": "John Smith",
    "firstName": "John",
    "lastName": "Smith",
    "addresses": [
        {"city": "Bossier City", "state": "LA", "country": "USA"}
    ],
    "alternateNames": ["John R Smith", "Jonathan Smith"],
    "relatives": [
        {"name": "Tracy L Smith"},
        {"name": "Monica M Smith"}
    ],
    "latitude": 32.5159852,
    "longitude": -93.7321228,
    "scrapedAt": "2026-04-20T12:34:56Z"
}
```

### How It Works

1. Reads the input and splits `fullName` into first + last name.
2. Fetches `https://radaris.com/p/<First>/<Last>/` (optionally narrowed
   by `?ql=<state>&city=<city>`) with a chrome131 TLS fingerprint.
3. Parses every `<script type="application/ld+json">` block on the page
   and collects every `@type: Person` entry.
4. Maps each Person to the output schema above and pushes up to
   `maxItems` clean rows (no nulls) into the run dataset.

### Error Records

The actor never throws; every failure mode is recorded as a sentinel
row on the dataset so downstream tooling can decide how to react.

| `reason` | When it is emitted |
| --- | --- |
| `invalid_input` | `fullName` was missing, or only `phone`/`email` was supplied (radaris doesn't support reverse-lookup). |
| `upstream_error` | radaris.com returned a non-200 response or the HTTP request failed. |
| `empty_result` | The page loaded but contained no `Person` LD+JSON records. |

Sentinel shape:

```json
{
    "type": "skip_trace_blocked",
    "reason": "upstream_error",
    "message": "radaris.com request failed (status=503, ...).",
    "url": "https://radaris.com/p/John/Smith/?ql=CA",
    "scrapedAt": "2026-04-20T12:34:56Z"
}
```

### FAQ

**Does this scraper require cookies or login?**
No. It performs a plain HTTP GET against radaris.com's public profile
pages.

**Do I need a proxy?**
No. The actor runs fine from Apify's default datacenter IPs — radaris
does not block datacenter ranges.

**Can I look up phone numbers or email addresses?**
No. radaris.com indexes people by name only. Supplying `phone` or
`email` without a `fullName` returns an `invalid_input` sentinel.

**Why do I sometimes get only one result for a common name?**
radaris aggregates all profiles with the same first + last name on a
single `/p/<First>/<Last>/` page. Use `state` / `city` to disambiguate
when multiple people share a name.

**What is `maxItems` for?**
It caps the number of person rows written to the dataset. The default
is `3`, which is a good fit for lead-enrichment workflows where you
only want the top match(es).

# Actor input Schema

## `fullName` (type: `string`):

The full name of the person to look up (e.g. 'John Smith'). Combine with city/state for best results.

## `city` (type: `string`):

Narrow the search by city (e.g. 'Dallas'). Optional.

## `state` (type: `string`):

US state abbreviation to narrow the search (e.g. 'CA', 'TX', 'NY'). Optional.

## `phone` (type: `string`):

Phone number to reverse-lookup (e.g. '(214) 349-3972'). Optional alternative to name search.

## `email` (type: `string`):

Email address to reverse-lookup (e.g. 'jane@example.com'). Optional alternative to name search.

## `maxItems` (type: `integer`):

Maximum number of matching people profiles to return. Defaults to 3.

## `proxyConfiguration` (type: `object`):

radaris.com blocks datacenter IPs. RESIDENTIAL US proxy is hardcoded; do not disable.
