Interpol Red Notices Scraper
Scrape Interpol Red Notices by name, nationality, age, or free text, up to a million per run. Each notice comes with the full identity, charges, and warrant details as published. No login or API key. Export to CSV, JSON, Excel, or XML.
Interpol's public Red Notice search is built for manual lookups, one page at a time. This Actor reads the same public database directly, applies your filters as it goes, and returns every matching notice in one flat row. You can pull a single suspect or build a full dataset of notices by country, age range, or free text.
| Who uses it | What they scrape Interpol for |
|---|---|
| Compliance officers | Screen customers and counterparties against active Red Notices |
| Journalists | Track which countries are requesting extradition and for what charges |
| Researchers | Build datasets of fugitives by nationality, age, or alleged offence |
| Law enforcement analysts | Monitor new Red Notices for persons of interest |
What it does
This Actor collects Interpol Red Notices by name, nationality, gender, age range, or free text, and returns each notice as one flat row.
- ๐ Filtered search: forename, surname, nationality, gender, age range, and free text, all combinable.
- ๐ Flat row output: each notice is one record with identity, charges, and warrant details.
- โก Bulk collection: set maxItems up to 1,000,000 to pull the whole filtered set.
- ๐ Country codes: use ISO 2-letter codes like FR, US, RU to target nationalities.
Results export to CSV, JSON, Excel, or XML, or straight from the API.

๐ Build a fugitive dataset.

Then prompt it in plain language to run the scraper and read back the results.
Troubleshooting
Why am I getting no results?
Check your filters. A combination like a rare surname and a specific nationality may return zero notices. Try removing one filter or using free text with a broader term.
Why is the run slow?
The Actor reads pages sequentially. If you set maxItems very high, it will take longer. Reduce maxItems or narrow your filters to speed it up.
Why are some fields empty in the output?
Interpol does not publish every field for every notice. If a field is missing on the website, it will be empty in your dataset.
Can I search by a specific charge?
Use the free text field with a keyword like 'murder' or 'fraud'. The search matches text in the charges and warrant details.
