Radaris People Search (SkipTrace Lookup)

Radaris People Search (SkipTrace Lookup)

Radaris People Search is a lightweight skip-trace tool that looks up US people by name on radaris.com and returns clean, structured public-record data — addresses, relatives, alternate names, age, and geo-coordinates — one row per matched person. It is HTTP-only, needs no login or browser, and pairs with Apify schedules to enrich your lead lists on a recurring basis.

Enter a full name (plus an optional city or US state) and get up to 500 person records — each with known addresses, family members and associates, name aliases, approximate age, and latitude/longitude for the primary home location.

Actor: parsebird/radaris-people-search (Apify). Purpose: skip-trace / people search on radaris.com by name. Call with ApifyClient: client.actor("parsebird/radaris-people-search").call(run_input={"fullName": "John Smith", "state": "CA", "city": "", "maxItems": 3}). Inputs: fullName (string, REQUIRED — Radaris indexes by name only), city (string, optional, narrows results), state (string, optional, 2-letter abbreviation like CA/TX/NY or full name), phone (string, optional, accepted but UNUSED — no phone reverse-lookup), email (string, optional, accepted but UNUSED — no email reverse-lookup), maxItems (integer, default 3, max 500), proxyConfiguration (object, defaults to Apify residential US proxy). Output: one dataset row per person with type="skip_trace_person", id, url (radaris profile URL), fullName, firstName, lastName, age, addresses [{street?, city, state, zip?, country}], relatives [{name, relation?, url?}], alternateNames [string], latitude, longitude, scrapedAt (ISO-8601 UTC). Only populated fields are included. If fullName is blank the actor returns a single {type:"invalid_input"} row instead of failing. API docs: https://apify.com/parsebird/radaris-people-search/api.

What does Radaris People Search do?

Radaris aggregates US public records — property and address history, relatives and associates, aliases, and age — and indexes them by person name. This Radaris scraper automates that lookup:

• 🔍 Name-based search — pass any fullName (e.g. John Smith); the actor queries Radaris and parses every candidate profile it surfaces.
• 📍 City and state filters — add a city or state to push matching records to the top of the results.
• 🏠 Address history — every known location for each person, parsed into street, city, state, zip, and country.
• 👪 Relatives and associates — family members and known associates, with links to their Radaris pages when available.
• 🪪 Alternate names — alias and alternate-spelling variants Radaris has on file.
• 🗺️ Geo-coordinates — latitude and longitude for the primary home location, geocoded from the address.
• ⚡ HTTP-only and fast — no browser runtime, no cookies, no login. Runs cheaply and finishes in seconds.
• 🗓️ Automation-ready — combine with Apify scheduling, the API, and integrations (Make, Zapier, n8n, webhooks) to run recurring skip-trace enrichments against your own lists.

phone and email inputs are accepted so the actor is a drop-in for skip-trace pipelines, but Radaris has no phone or email reverse-lookup, so those values are ignored.

Input parameters

Parameter	Type	Required	Default	Description
fullName	string	Yes	—	Full name to look up, e.g. John Smith. If blank, the run returns one invalid_input row instead of failing.
city	string	No	—	City to narrow the search, e.g. Dallas. Matching records are returned first.
state	string	No	—	US state to narrow the search. Accepts a 2-letter abbreviation (CA, TX, NY) or a full state name.

maxItems	integer	No	3	Maximum person records to return (max 500). Radaris typically surfaces 20–35 candidates per name.

How to look up people on Radaris

1. Open the Input tab of Radaris People Search on Apify.
2. Enter a Full name — for example John Smith.
3. Optionally add a City and/or US state to narrow the results.
4. Set Max person records (start with the default 3 to keep the first run cheap).
5. Click Start and wait a few seconds.
6. Open the Storage / Dataset tab to view results, or export as JSON, CSV, or Excel.
7. To automate, open the Schedules tab and add a recurring run, or call the actor from the API.

Run it from the API

Python:

from apify_client import ApifyClient

client = ApifyClient("<YOUR_API_TOKEN>")

run = client.actor("parsebird/radaris-people-search").call(run_input={
    "fullName": "John Smith",
    "state": "CA",
    "maxItems": 3,
})

for person in client.dataset(run["defaultDatasetId"]).iterate_items():
    print(person["fullName"], person.get("addresses"))

JavaScript:

import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client';

const client = new ApifyClient({ token: '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>' });

const run = await client.actor('parsebird/radaris-people-search').call({
    fullName: 'John Smith',
    state: 'CA',
    maxItems: 3,
});

const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems();
console.log(items);

How much does it cost to scrape Radaris?

This actor uses pay-per-result pricing. You are charged once per person record pushed to the dataset (the invalid_input sentinel row is free), plus Apify platform usage, which is minimal because the actor is HTTP-only.

Plan tier	Price per 1,000 person records
Free	$0.99
Bronze	$0.89
Silver	$0.89
Gold	$0.79

A typical lookup returning 3 records costs well under one cent in result fees. Enriching a list of 1,000 names at 3 records each costs roughly $3 on the Free tier.

Use cases

• Skip tracing — locate current and past addresses for debt collection, process serving, or asset recovery.
• Real-estate lead enrichment — append owner addresses, relatives, and aliases to distressed-property or absentee-owner lists.
• People and background research — build a profile of known locations, associates, and name variants for a person of interest.
• Identity verification — cross-check a claimed name against public-record address history.
• Genealogy and family research — trace relatives and associates across locations.
• List hygiene — validate and de-duplicate contact lists against public records.

How it works

1. The actor splits fullName into a first and last name and builds a Radaris search request, adding your city / state filters.
2. It fetches the Radaris results page over an Apify residential US proxy, rotating the proxy session automatically on rate limits.
3. It parses each candidate profile card — name, age, address history, relatives, and aliases.
4. Records matching your city / state filter are moved to the top; the rest are kept as fallback.
5. For each returned person, the primary address is geocoded to latitude/longitude.
6. Each person is pushed as one dataset row with only its populated fields.

FAQ

Does Radaris support phone or email reverse-lookup? No. Radaris indexes people by name only. The phone and email inputs exist so the actor is a drop-in for skip-trace pipelines, but they are not used for the lookup.

Why do all rows share the same id and url? Radaris groups every person for a given name under one name page (e.g. radaris.com/p/John/Smith/). Each dataset row is a distinct candidate under that name, differentiated by age, addresses, relatives, and aliases.

How many records will I get per name? Radaris typically surfaces 20–35 candidates per name on a single page. maxItems caps how many are returned and billed; there is no deep pagination beyond what Radaris shows.

What happens if the name has no matches? The run finishes successfully with an empty dataset and a warning in the log. Try a different spelling or drop the city/state filter.

Why is a residential proxy required? Radaris rate-limits aggressively by IP. The actor defaults to Apify's residential US proxy and rotates the session on blocks. You can override proxyConfiguration, but non-residential proxies are likely to be throttled.

Are latitude and longitude always present? They are best-effort. Coordinates come from geocoding the primary address; if geocoding fails or the person has no usable address, the fields are omitted.

Can I schedule recurring runs? Yes. Use the Schedules tab to run daily, weekly, or at any interval, or trigger runs from the API, webhooks, or integrations like Make and Zapier.

Something looks wrong or broke. Open an issue on the Issues tab with your input and the run ID — feedback is welcome and helps keep the actor reliable.
