🔎 What is People Skip Trace?
People Skip Trace finds US people by name, address, phone number or email and returns their phone numbers (mobile, landline or VoIP, with the carrier), emails, age, current and past addresses, relatives and associates, and the property record of their home — the data real-estate investors, wholesalers, collection agencies and CRMs use to reach an owner or a lead.
Paste a list of names, addresses, phone numbers or emails (or a CSV file), click Start, and download one row per person in JSON, CSV or Excel. It reads the free people-search sites FastPeopleSearch and CyberBackgroundChecks: one person with a full report in about 40 seconds, about 13 people a minute when a search returns many people.
📋 What data can you extract with People Skip Trace?
One row per person, 81 fields:
| Category | What you get |
|---|---|
| 👤 Person | full name, first, middle and last name, other names used, age, month and year of birth, deceased or not and when |
| 🏠 Current address | street, city, state, ZIP code, county, living there since, map coordinates |
| 📞 Phone numbers | every number with its line type (mobile, landline, VoIP), carrier and date first reported, the main number first — the first 5 also in their own columns |
| ✉️ Emails | every email shown for the person — the first 5 also in their own columns; optionally checked with their email provider (valid, invalid, accept-all or unknown) |
| 🕰️ Address history | past addresses with their county and the month they were recorded |
| 👪 Relatives and associates | names, ages, month of birth and the page of each; possible spouse and marital status |
| 🏡 Property of the home | estimated value and equity, last sale amount and date, bedrooms, bathrooms, living and lot area, year built, owner-occupied or absentee owner |
| 💼 Work and education | employer and job title, schools and degrees, companies the person is linked to and the role held |
| 🔎 Search and match | the search it answers, your own id, the name looked for, whether the name matches and a match score |
Every field, with an example, is listed in the Output section below.
Phone numbers, emails, address history, ages of relatives, property, work and education come from the person's full report, sold apart: tick Full person report (off by default) to get them. Without it, each person comes with what the search result lists: name, age, city, relatives' names and past cities (plus the phone numbers an email search lists), never emails.
✅ Why use People Skip Trace?
- 📞 Every phone number, typed: mobile, landline or VoIP, carrier and date first reported — not just the first number.
- 🏡 More than contacts: the value, equity, last sale and occupancy of the person's home, their employer, schools and linked companies, their relatives and associates with ages.
- 🎯 The right person first: give the owner's name after an address (
| Janette Suarez) and that person is returned first, even when they do not live there but are listed as a relative of the residents; first name and last name are both checked, nicknames tolerated. - 📥 Your lists as they are: the same list format as the most used skip trace Actor of the Store, a list of objects for your CRM, or a CSV / Google Sheets link.
- 🔁 Never pay twice: tick Only new people and each later run skips the people already delivered.
- 🔌 API, scheduling, integrations (Make, Zapier, n8n, Google Sheets…) and JSON/CSV/Excel export via the Apify platform.

💰 How much does it cost to skip trace people?
This Actor uses pay per event pricing. Platform usage (compute, proxy) is included in the price.
Price per 1,000, by Apify plan (Platinum and Diamond pay the Gold price):
| What you pay for | Free | Bronze | Silver | Gold |
|---|---|---|---|---|
🔎 Each search run (people-search) — a name, an address, a phone or an email, whether it finds someone or not | $6.36 | $2.30 | $2.26 | $2.23 |
| 👤 Each person saved | $6.09 | $2.20 | $2.17 | $2.13 |
📞 Each full report read (full-report: phones, emails, address history, relatives, property — off by default) | $5.55 | $2.00 | $1.97 | $1.94 |
📄 Each extra page of results (results-page: more people per search than a page holds, about 10) | $6.36 | $2.30 | $2.26 | $2.23 |
🧹 Each person a filter drops before its report (filter-check) | $0.35 | $0.35 | $0.35 | $0.35 |
🧹 Each person a filter drops after reading its report (detail-filter-check, on top of the report) | $0.20 | $0.20 | $0.20 | $0.20 |
▶️ Each run start (apify-actor-start) | $0.0009 per GB of run memory ($0.0009 at the default 512 MB, $0.0018 at 2 GB, the most a run can take) |
With the defaults (1 person per search, full report off), a search that finds its person costs $4.36 per 1,000 on Gold ($4.43 Silver, $4.5 Bronze, $12.45 Free), $6.3 with the full report ($6.4 Silver, $6.5 Bronze, $18 Free), and a search that finds nobody costs $2.23 per 1,000 on Gold. Example on Gold, with the full report: a list of 1,000 owners where 800 are found ≈ $5.49 (1,000 searches $2.23 + 800 people with their report $3.26 + $0.0009). Filtering never costs more than taking everything: a person you keep costs its normal price. With your own proxies (proxyUrls), searches, full reports and extra pages are not charged: you pay per person, per person a filter drops, and the run start only.
⚙️ Input
From a CRM or an automation, one object per search (your id comes back as inputId):
From a spreadsheet, and only the people not delivered before:
| Field | Notes |
|---|---|
name | One person per line, name then city and state: Janette Suarez; Miami, FL, or the state only: Janette Suarez; FL. A ZIP code may follow the state. Up to 1,000 lines per list. |
street_citystatezip | One address per line: 641 NW 59th Ave; Miami, FL 33126. Returns the people linked to the address, newest first. Add a vertical bar and a full name at the end of the line to put that person first (the owner, for example). |
phone_number | Reverse phone lookup, one US number per line, any format: (786) 523-6332, 7865236332, +1 786 523 6332. |
email | Reverse email lookup, one email per line: jane.doe@gmail.com. |
people | A JSON list of objects with any of firstName, lastName, street, city, state, zip, phone, email and your own id (returned as inputId): one search per object, by address when a street is given, else by phone, else by email, else by name. |
csvUrl | Link to a CSV file with a header row (Google Sheets: …/export?format=csv, or the sheet's own link shared as "Anyone with the link"), max 5 MB. Recognised columns: name or first name and last name, street or address, city, state, zip, phone, email, id. |
startUrls | FastPeopleSearch search pages or person pages (https://www.fastpeoplesearch.com/juan-cortes_id_G-400600387843451335), and CyberBackgroundChecks email pages. A person page IS the full report: it is read in full and charged as one, even with Full person report off. |
maxItems | Stop after this many people for the whole run (0 = unlimited). All lists, people, CSV rows and URLs together make up to 5,000 searches per run. |
maxItemsPerQuery | People saved for EACH search: 1 = the best match only; raise it to get every resident of an address or every namesake; 0 = no per-search cap. |
extractDetails | Full person report: every phone, email, past address, relatives and associates with ages, property, work (default off, charged per report). Off = what the search result lists, never emails. |
verifyEmails | Check that emails exist (default off): each of the first 5 emails is checked with its email provider, no email is ever sent. Priced separately, only for a valid or invalid answer. Needs the full report (extractDetails): ignored when it is off. |
requireNameMatch | With a name to look for, save only the people whose first and last names match it. |
requirePhone, requireEmail | Only the people with at least one phone number, or one email. Both need the full report (extractDetails): they are ignored when it is off. |
minAge, maxAge | Age range, for example 18 to 65; people whose age is not known are kept. |
excludeKeywords | Drop the people whose name contains one of these words: LLC, Trust. |
onlyNew, stateKey, resetState | Monitoring: only the people never delivered under this memory key (miami-owners); resetState forgets the memory. |
| Advanced | proxyConfiguration (keep the default, included in the price; your own proxies are used when you give them; the residential proxy is not available), maxConcurrency, maxRequestsPerMinute, minRequestIntervalMs, maxRequestRetries, debugLog. |
📦 Output
One real row with Full person report on, shortened (lists cut to their first entries) and with the personal values masked (X). Without the report, the fields it fills stay empty (null or []): the row keeps the name, age, city, state, relatives' names and past cities of the search result.
You can download the dataset in various formats such as JSON, HTML, CSV or Excel.

💡 Tips
How to get the owner of an address
Put the owner's name after the address: 641 NW 59th Ave; Miami, FL 33126 | Janette Suarez. The person whose first AND last names match comes first — and when the owner does not live there (a rented house), the owner is often listed as a relative of the residents: that person is found and returned too (without Full person report, with their name and page only: tick it for their phones, emails and address). Tick Only people whose name matches to get nothing rather than a resident when the owner cannot be found. Without a name, an address returns its residents, newest first.
How to reduce costs
Keep Max people per search at 1 when you want one person per search, and use Only new people for lists you run again (a person already delivered is never read nor charged twice). Filters drop a person before it is saved: a person dropped on the search result (name, age, words, name match) costs only the filter fee ($0.35 per 1,000); one dropped for lack of a phone or an email costs its full report and $0.20 per 1,000 — still less than a person you keep. Full person report is off by default: turn it on only when you need the phones and emails — it adds the full-report fee to each person.
Several searches in one run
Fill any mix of Names, Addresses, Phone numbers, Emails (up to 1,000 lines per list), People (structured), a CSV file URL and Start URLs: up to 5,000 searches per run. A line that cannot be searched (an address without its state, a 7-digit phone number) is skipped with a warning in the log — one bad line does not stop the run. The same address (or phone, or email) given twice with two different names — two owners of one house — is searched once, for the first name, and the second line is listed as skipped: raise Max people per search to get the other people of that search too. A person found by several searches is saved — and charged — once, with the first search that found them.
Monitoring: only the new people
Tick Only new people (onlyNew) and schedule the Actor on the same list. The first run returns everything; each later run skips the people already delivered: they are not saved nor charged, and their report is not even opened (the search itself is still run and charged). The memory lives in a named key-value store of your account (people-skip-trace-scraper-seen, up to 150,000 people per key) and is only updated with people that really reached the dataset, so a failed run never hides anyone. Give each schedule its own stateKey, and tick resetState once to start over.
🔌 Integrations and API
Call the Actor via the Apify API, the JavaScript or Python clients, or connect it with integrations and webhooks (Make, Zapier, n8n, Google Sheets, Slack, Airtable, HubSpot…). The dataset can be fetched as JSON or CSV from any tool; inputId brings your own record id back with each person.
🤖 Use with AI agents (MCP)
AI agents (Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor…) can find and run this Actor through the Apify MCP server, billed to their Apify account like any run. It returns one item per person found. Actor id: nice_dev/people-skip-trace-scraper; MCP server with this Actor only: https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=fetch-actor-details,nice_dev/people-skip-trace-scraper.
Smallest input, for a cheap first call (the search result only: name, age, city, relatives):
For phone numbers and emails, add the full report:
Key output fields: fullName, age, city, state, relatives, nameMatch; with the full report, currentAddress, bestPhone, phones, emails.
Cost on Gold: $2.23 per 1,000 searches, $2.13 per 1,000 people and $1.94 per 1,000 full reports (Free plan: $6.36, $6.09, $5.55), plus $0.0009 per run (see the pricing section above). Cap each call with maxItems and, through the API, with the run option maxTotalChargeUsd.
❓ FAQ
Is it legal to skip trace people with this Actor?
The Actor only reads what FastPeopleSearch and CyberBackgroundChecks show publicly to any anonymous visitor: public records. It logs in to nothing and needs no account. The results are personal data: store and use them only with a legitimate reason, under the privacy laws that apply to you (GDPR, CCPA and the other US state laws). You are responsible for using the data in compliance with the sites' Terms of Use and applicable law, in particular:
- FCRA: this is not a consumer reporting agency. Never use the results to decide on credit, employment, tenant screening, insurance or any other purpose covered by the Fair Credit Reporting Act.
- TCPA and Do Not Call: calling or texting a mobile number with an autodialer or a prerecorded message needs the person's consent; check the numbers against the National Do Not Call Registry before any marketing call. The Actor does not flag them.
- Data broker laws: reselling data about people you have no direct relationship with can require a registration (California, Vermont, Texas, Oregon).
- Daniel's Law (New Jersey) and similar laws: remove the people who ask for it (judges, law enforcement officers…) within the legal delay.
This Actor is not affiliated with FastPeopleSearch or CyberBackgroundChecks.
Am I charged for a search that finds nobody?
Yes, the search fee only (people-search): the sites are read to find out that nobody matches. No person, no report and no row are charged. The SEARCH_STATS record of the run lists every search with the number of people it saved (0 = nobody found).
Does it need a login or an account on the sites?
No. Nothing to set up either: leave Proxy configuration as it is, it is included in the price.
Is the data safe to open in Excel or to show on a web page?
Phone numbers start with ( or + (every e164 number does, +1…) and a few names or addresses start with a digit: Excel and Google Sheets may read a CSV cell that begins with +, -, = or @ as a formula, and turn a ZIP code such as 02111 into a number without its leading zero. The Actor leaves the values as they are, so that the JSON and the API give the real value: when you open a CSV, import the phone and ZIP columns as text. On a web page, every link (url, currentAddressUrl, the links of relatives, associates and the spouse) is an http:// or https:// URL, or empty — never javascript:, never a quote (an apostrophe is written %27, the same page); escape every other field like any text written by a stranger.
Why are the phone numbers and emails empty?
Full person report is off by default: without it, a person comes with what the search result lists (name, age, city, relatives' names, past cities), never emails. Tick it ("extractDetails": true) for every phone number and email; Only people with a phone number, Only people with an email and Check that emails exist need it too, and the run log says so when they are ticked without it.
Can it check that the emails still work?
Yes, with Check that emails exist (off by default, priced separately) and Full person report on. Each of the first 5 emails of a report is checked with its email provider; no email is ever sent. valid means the provider confirms the mailbox exists on that day (not that someone reads it): Gmail and the other providers that answer. invalid means the domain takes no email at all, or the provider says the mailbox does not exist. Some large providers (Yahoo, AOL, Outlook, Comcast) do not say, or accept any address: their emails come back unknown or accept-all, and those answers are free — you pay only for valid and invalid. Phone numbers are not checked: the sites say nothing about a line being active.
Known limitations
- Each phone number comes with the date it was first reported, not the last one; the sites say nothing about a number being disconnected, on the Do Not Call list or tied to a litigator.
- A deceased person is still returned (an address search lists past residents too): filter on
isDeceased. - An email or a phone number shared by several people (a family) returns all of them when Max people per search is above 1; with 1, the first one listed, unless you add the name you want after the line.
- Names are matched on first and last names with common nicknames (Bill / William); a very rare nickname is not recognised.
onlyNewremembers people, not their details: a person whose phone numbers changed is not returned again.- Two runs sharing the same
stateKeyat the same time may both return the same new person.
A run that reaches its timeout stops itself about 45 seconds before it: no new page is asked, the people it read are saved and, with onlyNew, remembered, and the run ends Succeeded with "Stopped before the run's timeout". At about 13 people a minute with the full report, a one-hour timeout holds roughly 750 people: resurrect the run to go on from there, or give a big list a longer timeout (Run options).
A run the platform stops without warning (out of memory)
- Resurrect it: it goes on from where it stood at most a minute before the stop, and the people already saved are skipped: none is delivered or charged twice, and
maxItemsstill counts them. A person found in the last minute before the stop and not yet written may be missing: run that line again. - With
onlyNew, the memory is saved once a minute: resurrect the stopped run and the people it had saved meanwhile join the memory; leave it stopped for good, and the next run may return up to a minute of them once more.
Something doesn't work?
The last line of the log counts the people saved, filtered out and no longer on the site, and the requests that failed after every retry. Those requests are listed, with the reason, in the FAILED_REQUESTS record of the run's key-value store. The SEARCH_STATS record lists every search with the number of people it saved (0 = nobody found) and the lines that were skipped, with the reason. A run that saved nothing and had failed requests fails, and its last message gives the cause.
If the sites change their pages, you are told instead of paying for blank rows. If the first 20 people read all lack their city (read on the results page) or — with the full report — their relatives or their phones, the run saves nothing more, stops and fails, and its last message names the missing field: at most those first people are charged. A shorter run is checked at its end, from 5 people: it fails the same way, with the people it saved. A results page that announces people none of whom can be read fails its search instead of passing for "nobody found".
