FCC Consumer Complaint Tracker: Telecom & Robocall Data

Search consumer complaints about phone, TV, internet, and radio service, including robocalls and billing disputes, straight from the FCC's official open data feed. Filter by state, issue type, and how far back to look, and get the most recent complaints first.

Here's a real record it returns:

{
"complaintId": "9126420",
"ticketCreated": "2026-09-19T04:50:38.000Z",
"issueType": "Phone",
"issue": "Billing",
"method": "Wireless (cell phone/other mobile device)",
"callerIdNumber": null,
"advertiserPhoneNumber": null,
"city": "Mountain view",
"state": "CA",
"zip": "94040",
"location": [-122.08032, 37.37879]
}

Who this is for

  • Telecom carrier compliance teams monitoring complaint volume and category trends by state.
  • Robocall and spam researchers tracking unwanted call complaint patterns over time.
  • Journalists and consumer advocates reporting on telecom service issues by region.

Input

FieldTypeDescription
statestringTwo-letter US state code, e.g. "CA". Leave blank for all states.
issueTypestringOne of Phone, TV, Internet, Radio, Accessibility, Emergency, Broadband Story, Request for Dispute Assistance. Leave blank for all types.
daysBackinteger (default 30)How far back to search.
maxResultsinteger (default 50)Cap on records returned, most recent first.
{
"state": "CA",
"issueType": "Phone",
"daysBack": 30,
"maxResults": 50
}

Output

One record per complaint: a ticket ID, when it was filed, issue type and specific issue category, contact method, the caller ID number and advertiser phone number when the complaint included them, and location (city, state, zip, coordinates).

How it works

A direct call to the FCC's own open data endpoint (Socrata), no scraping, no key, no proxy. Filters (state, issue type, date range) are applied server side via the endpoint's own query syntax, verified directly against live data rather than assumed from documentation.

Retries with exponential backoff on transient failures, the same defensive fetch pattern used across every actor in this portfolio.

Pricing note

Billed per search, not per complaint returned, one charge whether the search returns 1 complaint or up to the requested max.
