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 ## ZabaSearch People Search Scraper Scrape US people data from [ZabaSearch](https://www.zabasearch.com) by name and optional state, or by phone number. Returns full name, age, current and past addresses, and phone numbers. ZabaSearch is a long-established free US people-search database. This actor uses Bright Data Web Unlocker to bypass Cloudflare protection and return clean HTML data. ### Features - **Name search**: Search by first name + last name with optional US state filter - **Phone search**: Look up a person by their 10-digit US phone number - **Structured output**: Full name, age, addresses (current + past), and phone numbers per result - **maxItems control**: Limit the number of records returned per run - **Free source data**: ZabaSearch is ad-supported with no paywall ### Input | Field | Type | Description | |-------|------|-------------| | `searchMode` | string | `name` (default) or `phone` | | `firstName` | string | First name (required for name mode) | | `lastName` | string | Last name (required for name mode) | | `state` | string | US state filter (optional for name mode, e.g. "California") | | `phone` | string | 10-digit US phone number (required for phone mode) | | `maxItems` | integer | Maximum number of records to return (default: 10) | #### Example: Name search ```json { "searchMode": "name", "firstName": "John", "lastName": "Smith", "state": "California", "maxItems": 10 } ```` #### Example: Phone search ```json { "searchMode": "phone", "phone": "5551234567", "maxItems": 5 } ``` ### Output Each result record contains: | Field | Type | Description | |-------|------|-------------| | `fullName` | string | Full name of the person | | `age` | integer | Age if listed | | `phones` | array | Phone numbers (10-digit strings) | | `currentAddress` | string | Current address | | `pastAddresses` | array | Past or additional addresses | | `profileUrl` | string | Direct link to the ZabaSearch profile | | `source` | string | Always `"zabasearch"` | | `scrapedAt` | string | ISO-8601 timestamp | #### Example output record ```json { "fullName": "John A Smith", "age": 53, "phones": ["5551234567"], "currentAddress": "123 Main St, Sacramento, CA 94201", "pastAddresses": ["456 Oak Ave, San Francisco, CA 94101"], "profileUrl": "https://www.zabasearch.com/record/abc123/", "source": "zabasearch", "scrapedAt": "2026-06-26T02:30:00.000Z" } ``` ### Notes - **Lighter field set**: ZabaSearch does not list email addresses. If you need emails, consider a broader people-search actor. - **State filter**: Using a state narrows results significantly for common names and is recommended. - **Per-run cost**: This actor uses Bright Data Web Unlocker (billed per request). Each name/phone search is one billed request. Keep `maxItems` proportionate to your budget. - **5-min tester**: Bright Data solves Cloudflare in ~5–100 s. For the built-in Apify tester, use `maxItems: 1` to stay within the time limit. ### Use cases - Address verification and skip-tracing for common US names - Locating people who recently moved (new address discovery) - Cross-referencing phone numbers with identity data - Lead enrichment for US-only contact lists # Actor input Schema ## `sp_intended_usage` (type: `string`): Please describe how you plan to use the data extracted by this crawler. ## `sp_improvement_suggestions` (type: `string`): Provide any feedback or suggestions for improvements. ## `sp_contact` (type: `string`): Provide your email address so we can get in touch with you. ## `searchMode` (type: `string`): Search by name (name) or phone number (phone). ## `firstName` (type: `string`): First name of the person to search for (required for name mode). ## `lastName` (type: `string`): Last name of the person to search for (required for name mode). ## `state` (type: `string`): US state to filter results (optional for name mode).
