🚨 FBI Most Wanted List Scraper

🚀 Export the FBI public wanted persons database in seconds. Filter the Ten Most Wanted, ECAP child alerts, kidnappings, fugitives, and victims by field office, status, or free-text keyword. No API key, no registration, no manual page scraping.

The FBI Most Wanted List Scraper wraps the official FBI public wanted persons API (api.fbi.gov/wanted/v1/list) and returns one row per person with 47 fields, including name, aliases, charges, reward, status, ethnicity, hair and eyes, scars and marks, last-seen location, field office, and image URLs. The underlying feed is published by the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the principal federal investigative agency of the United States Department of Justice.

Coverage includes every public poster category. Ten Most Wanted Fugitives, the ECAP (Endangered Child Alert Program), Kidnappings and Missing Persons, Seeking Information, ViCAP Unidentified Persons, and Most Wanted Terrorists. Status filters include captured, recovered, located, surrendered, and deceased. This Actor returns structured records ready to download as CSV, Excel, JSON, or XML.

📋 What the FBI Wanted Scraper does

One unified extraction workflow across the full public wanted catalog:

• 🚨 Top Ten Most Wanted. The headline fugitive list with rewards up to $5,000,000.
• 👶 ECAP alerts. Endangered Child Alert Program posters seeking the public's help identifying unknown adults connected to child sexual exploitation.
• 🔍 Kidnappings and Missing Persons. Active cases including AMBER-eligible disappearances and Indian Country missing persons.
• 🕵️ Seeking Information. Bank robbers, hijackers, and persons of interest the FBI is actively pursuing.
• 🧬 ViCAP Unidentified Persons. Cold-case Jane / John Doe records with facial reconstructions.
• 🌐 Most Wanted Terrorists. Federal indictments related to terrorism.

Filter by keyword (matches title, description, aliases, charges), poster category, person role (Main suspect or Victim), FBI field office slug (atlanta, chicago, losangeles, miami, newyork, billings, etc.), and case status. Pagination is automatic across the full result set.

💡 Why it matters: the FBI feed is the gold standard for U.S. wanted-persons data, but the public website surfaces only one poster at a time. This Actor returns the entire dataset in a single run, deduplicated and normalized, so you can build dashboards, OSINT pipelines, or compliance checks without scraping HTML pages.
