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 ## FastPeopleSearch — People Search Scraper Scrape US people data from [FastPeopleSearch](https://www.fastpeoplesearch.com) — 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 routes every request through Bright Data Web Unlocker, which clears the challenge server-side and returns clean HTML. --- ### What it collects Each person record contains: | Field | Description | |---|---| | `fullName` | Full name as listed | | `age` | Age (integer) | | `currentAddress` | Current street address | | `pastAddresses` | Prior addresses (array of strings) | | `phones` | Phone numbers (array) | | `relatives` | Relatives listed on the profile (array) | | `associates` | Associates listed on the profile (array) | | `profileUrl` | Direct URL to the FastPeopleSearch profile page | | `source` | Always `"fastpeoplesearch"` | | `scrapedAt` | ISO-8601 timestamp | --- ### Search modes Set `searchMode` to one of three values: #### `name` — Search by name Find people by first and last name. Optionally narrow by US state or city + state. ```json { "searchMode": "name", "firstName": "John", "lastName": "Smith", "state": "NY", "maxItems": 10 } ```` #### `phone` — Reverse phone lookup Enter a phone number to retrieve the associated person record. ```json { "searchMode": "phone", "phone": "5551234567", "maxItems": 1 } ``` #### `address` — Reverse address lookup Enter a street address (with city and state) to find residents. ```json { "searchMode": "address", "address": "123 Main St", "city": "Brooklyn", "state": "NY", "maxItems": 5 } ``` *** ### Input parameters | Parameter | Type | Required | Description | |---|---|---|---| | `searchMode` | select | Yes | `name`, `phone`, or `address` | | `firstName` | string | For name mode | First name of the person | | `lastName` | string | For name mode | Last name of the person | | `city` | string | No | City (optional for name, required for address) | | `state` | select | No | US state abbreviation (e.g., `NY`, `CA`) | | `phone` | string | For phone mode | Digits only, e.g., `5551234567` | | `address` | string | For address mode | Street address, e.g., `123 Main St` | | `maxItems` | integer | Yes | Maximum number of person records to return. Default: 10 | *** ### Notes - **Bright Data Web Unlocker**: Every request bills a Bright Data unblocking unit. This 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 *** ### OrbTop People Data Scrapers Looking for more US people-data sources?
