FastPeopleSearch — People Search Scraper

Scrape US people data from FastPeopleSearch — phone numbers, current and past addresses, age, relatives, and associates. Supports name search, reverse phone lookup, and reverse address lookup.

FastPeopleSearch is free to browse but hardened behind Cloudflare managed challenges. Standard scraping approaches get HTTP 403. This actor clears the challenge on every request and returns clean, structured records.

Notes

• Hardened target: Every request goes through the work of clearing Cloudflare. That is what makes the site accessible; it also means per-request cost is higher than a plain HTTP scraper. The price coefficient reflects this.
• Rate of retrieval: Each BD request takes 30–100 seconds for CF-hardened pages. Expect longer run times than typical scrapers.
• Public records only: FastPeopleSearch aggregates publicly available US records. The data reflects what the source publishes.
• maxItems: Applies to person records returned (detail pages scraped). Set low for quick lookups, higher for broad name searches.

Use cases

• Lead generation and prospecting — find contact info for a named individual
• Address verification — confirm or enrich a known address record
• Reverse phone triage — identify who's behind an unknown number
• Genealogy and people research — find relatives and location history
