TruePeopleSearch — People Search Scraper

Find anyone in the US by name, phone, or address and get one clean, structured record per person — full (unmasked) phone numbers, emails, current and past addresses with geo-coordinates, relatives, associates, aliases, age, and even property details (beds, baths, sqft, value, year built). Built for lawful skip tracing, debt recovery, process serving, and B2B contact enrichment.

Powered by TruePeopleSearch public-records data. The site is protected by Cloudflare — this Actor clears it for you, so the data that a browser struggles to reach comes straight out in your dataset.

How it works

✨ Why use this scraper?

• Full phone numbers. Every phone on the profile, in the familiar (NPA) NXX-XXXX format — no "unlock" wall.
• Four lookup modes in one Actor. Search by name, reverse-phone, reverse-address, or email — mix them in a single run.
• Whole-person records. Each row carries name + name parts, aliases, age + birth month, every phone and email, current + past addresses (with latitude/longitude), relatives, and associates — each relative/associate with their own profile URL.
• Property intelligence. Where TruePeopleSearch publishes it, the current-address property is parsed into structured fields: bedrooms, bathrooms, square feet, ownership (owner/renter), estimated value, equity, year built, and HOA.
• Cloudflare handled. The site sits behind Cloudflare; the Actor escalates to an unblocker automatically so you don't manage fingerprints or captchas.
• Bulk-ready. Drop in a list of names, phones, or addresses (or a CSV URL) and get one row per matched person, billed per record.
• CSV + CRM built in. Feed a CSV URL of lookups, POST each result straight to Zapier / Make / GoHighLevel, flatten to Email-1 / Phone-1 columns, or preview the exact output for free with demo mode.
• Resume cursor. Paste resumeCursor from a capped run to continue without re-billing people you already received.

📥 Supported inputs

Input	Example	Returns
Name	John Smith, Irving, TX	People matching the name (optional city/state/ZIP narrows it)
Phone (reverse)	(972) 917-9873	The likely owner of the number + their record
Address (reverse)	935 Turtle Cv, Irving, TX 75060	People associated with the address
Email (reverse)	jane@example.com	People tied to that email
Direct URL	https://www.truepeoplesearch.com/find/person/p4246290nl4r29r2l8n6	A profile URL scraped verbatim; search URLs also supported

Not supported: non-US records, and any content behind a TruePeopleSearch login. This Actor reads only public pages.

Coming from another skip-trace actor?

Complaint we keep seeing on the category leader	What this actor does
Charged for “Person Not Found” / 404s	Billing is apify-default-dataset-item — a row has to land in the dataset
One name per run	Pass names[] / phones[] / emails[] — one run, many lookups
Detail page 502s, empty dataset	Listing-card fallback still writes the name, age, city, and relatives
Re-paying for page 1 of a huge name search	Paste resumeCursor from the previous run

🔄 How it works

1. Each name / phone / address query is turned into a TruePeopleSearch search URL (/results, /resultphone, /resultaddress).
2. The search page is fetched (Cloudflare cleared) and every matched person's profile link is collected; result pages are paginated with ?page=N.
3. Each /find/person/{id} profile page is fetched in parallel (sliding-window concurrency, capped at maxItems).
4. The profile's JSON-LD is parsed for name, aliases, full phones, emails, current address + geo, relatives and associates; past addresses and property details are read from the page.
5. One row per person is pushed to the dataset (and optionally POSTed to your webhook).

⚙️ Input parameters

Field	Type	Description
names	array	Full names to look up. Append a location after a comma to narrow, e.g. "Jane Doe, Irving, TX" or "John Smith, 75060".
phones	array	US phone numbers in any format — (972) 917-9873, 972-917-9873, +1 972 917 9873.
addresses	array	Street addresses with city/state/ZIP, e.g. "935 Turtle Cv, Irving, TX 75060".
emails	array	Email addresses for reverse lookup, e.g. "jane@example.com".
flattenedOutput	boolean	Add Email-1 / Phone-1 / Person Link columns for Sheets / CRM exports.
resumeCursor	string	Continue a previous run without re-billing delivered people.
maxItemsPerSearch	integer	Cap per lookup. Defaults to 5 when you pass more than one search.

csvUrl	string	Link to a raw CSV whose header names Name / Phone / Address columns. Each row's cells become lookups.
webhookUrl	string	Each person record is POSTed here as JSON as it's found. Best-effort; a failed webhook never fails the run.
demoMode	boolean	Return a single sample record with no lookup and no charge, to preview the output shape.
maxItems	integer	Hard cap on person records pushed across all lookups. Default 100. You are billed per record.

📊 Output overview

The dataset holds one row per matched person. Multi-value fields (phones, emails, past addresses, relatives, associates, aliases) are arrays; age, property.* numeric fields, and geo-coordinates are typed numbers; scrapedAt is an ISO-8601 timestamp. No padding rows — you pay only for real person records.

❓ FAQ

Does TruePeopleSearch block scrapers? Yes — it runs behind Cloudflare. This Actor tries a fast direct fetch first and automatically escalates to an unblocker that clears the challenge, so you don't manage proxies, fingerprints, or captchas. Expect a few seconds per profile page.

Are the phone numbers really unmasked? Yes. Every phone published on the profile is returned in full, in (NPA) NXX-XXXX format.

Can I search without a location? For names, the location (city, state, or ZIP after a comma) is optional but recommended — a bare common name returns many matches and burns more of your maxItems. Phone and address lookups are already specific.

Why did some lookups return fewer rows than maxItems? Common names in large states have many matches; uncommon names may return few or none. Profiles that 404 (removed or moved) are skipped and not billed.

Is the data free to use commercially? TruePeopleSearch aggregates public records. You are responsible for complying with its Terms of Service and applicable law (FCRA, CCPA, GDPR) — see the Disclaimer. This data must not be used for FCRA-regulated decisions (credit, employment, housing, insurance).
