🔍 FBI Crime Data Scraper - US State Crime Statistics

🚀 Export annual US crime statistics by state in seconds. Pull violent crime, murder, rape, robbery, aggravated assault, property crime, burglary, larceny, and motor vehicle theft counts for all 50 states and territories across any year range from 1985 to 2022. No API key, no registration.

The FBI Crime Data Scraper pulls structured crime statistics from the FBI Crime Data Explorer (CDE), the official public portal for Uniform Crime Reporting (UCR) data. It returns 13 fields per record including violent crime totals, nine individual offense categories, and metadata timestamps. The underlying data is published by the FBI's UCR Program and compiled from law enforcement agencies across the United States.

The dataset covers all 50 states plus DC and US territories across 38 years of reporting, giving analysts, researchers, policy teams, and journalists a clean, queryable alternative to raw FBI tables. This Actor makes that data downloadable as CSV, Excel, JSON, or XML in under a minute.

📋 What the FBI Crime Data Scraper does

Five data collection workflows in a single run:

• 🗺️ All-states export. Every state and territory across your selected year range.
• 🏛️ State filter. Restrict to one state using its two-letter abbreviation (CA, TX, NY, etc.).
• 📅 Year range. Collect any span from 1985 to 2022.
• 📊 Nine offense types. Violent crime total, murder, rape, robbery, aggravated assault, property crime total, burglary, larceny-theft, and motor vehicle theft.
• 💾 Annual aggregates. Monthly FBI data summed to clean annual counts per state.

💡 Why it matters: the FBI publishes crime data as multi-tab Excel files and interactive charts. Turning those into a structured dataset requires parsing dozens of pages, writing state-by-state scrapers, and handling the FBI's format changes across decades. This Actor delivers the same data in clean JSON in under a minute.
