Pricing

This Actor is free to use — you only pay for Apify platform compute time.

A ScrapFly API key is required (separate cost). Each person search uses approximately 2 ScrapFly API credits (one for the search page, one for the detail page).

New Apify accounts receive $5 in free credits — enough for hundreds of contact lookups.

Technical notes

• No browser needed: This Actor uses HTTP requests + Cheerio parsing — no Puppeteer or Playwright overhead
• ScrapFly required: TruePeopleSearch blocks direct requests. ScrapFly provides anti-bot bypass and US residential proxies
• Rate limiting: Keep maxConcurrency at 3 or lower for best success rates. Higher values may trigger blocks
• Name matching: The Actor uses smart matching that handles middle names, initials, and name variations. If no exact match is found, it returns the first result from the address
• Retry logic: Failed requests are retried up to 3 times with exponential backoff
• US only: TruePeopleSearch contains records for US residents only
