Skip Trace API - Property Owner Phone, Email and Address

Turn a list of US property addresses into the owner's phone numbers and email addresses, or search 150M+ property records for the owners worth calling in the first place.

What this actor does

• Skip trace by address. Paste property addresses, get the owner's name, every phone number with its type and carrier, and every email address. Up to three people per property.
• Reverse skip trace. Start from a phone number or an email address and get the person plus the property addresses they are on. Filter to property owners only.
• Search the property database. Filter by location, owner name, street address, listing status and last sale date, then narrow with the provider's own named lists: absentee owner, high equity, vacant, preforeclosure, tax default, cash buyer, tired landlord, inherited, free and clear and thirty more.
• Compliance flags on every number. Each phone carries its do-not-call and litigator status, and every row also carries a ready-to-dial list with those numbers already removed.
• Full records, not just the table. Each row keeps the provider's complete record alongside the flattened columns, so nothing your plan returns is thrown away.
• Pay per result. You are charged for rows that carry a real record. Addresses the provider matches nobody to are free.

Bring your own key

This actor calls the provider with your own API token. Paste it into the API token field, or set it as the DATA_API_KEY secret. Nothing runs on anyone else's credentials, and a run without a token ends cleanly with an explanation rather than failing.

FAQ

What is skip tracing?

Skip tracing is looking up the current contact details of a property owner from the property address. This actor sends each address to a US property and contact database and returns the owner's name, phone numbers with their type and carrier, and email addresses, along with whether each number is on the do-not-call registry or belongs to a known TCPA litigator.

Which addresses can be skip traced?

Any US property address with a street plus either a five digit ZIP code or both a city and a two letter state. 1011 Rosegold St, Franklin Square, NY 11010 and 25866 W Globe Ave, 85326 both work. An address with too little to match on is returned as a rejected row with the reason, and is not charged for.

How do I find motivated sellers?

Use search mode with the named lists. preforeclosure, notice-of-default, tax-default, inherited, tired-landlord, vacant and absentee-owner are the ones investors use most. Combine up to three that must all match, or up to three where any one may match, then turn on "Add owner contacts to search results" to get phone numbers in the same run.

Do I get do-not-call and litigator flags?

Yes. Every phone number carries dnc and tcpa booleans, the best-phone columns repeat them, and each row also has a callablePhones column with the restricted numbers already stripped out. You can also have the provider drop restricted numbers before they are returned by turning off "Include restricted phone numbers".

Can I look up a person from a phone number?

Yes, that is reverse skip trace mode. Give a ten digit US phone number or an email address and the actor returns the matching people, their known addresses, their other phone numbers and emails, and whether each person owns the property at their top ranked address. Turn on "Property owners only" to keep just the owners.

What does it cost?

Pricing is pay per result: 0.014 USD per property record from a search and 0.02 USD per person returned by a skip trace, with Apify platform usage included. Rows the provider found nothing for are not charged. You also need your own account with the data provider, which bills separately for the records it returns.

Does the actor fail if my key is wrong?

No. A missing token, a rejected token, an empty balance or an empty input all end the run cleanly with a message saying what to change. Only a real outage or a bug fails the run.

How many addresses can I send at once?

As many as you like. The provider accepts 100 per request, so the actor batches longer lists automatically and paces the requests. Use the maximum rows setting to cap what a run collects and charges for.
