SkipTrace People Lookup

Look up people by name (optionally narrowed by city/state) against radaris.com and export matching public profile records — known addresses, relatives, alternate name spellings, and geo-coordinates — as a structured Apify dataset.

Powered by radaris.com. The scraper returns public name-based people records with addresses and relatives. Phone / email reverse lookup is not supported — radaris indexes people by name only.

The scraper is lightweight, HTTP-only (curl_cffi + BeautifulSoup), and does not require cookies, login, or a browser runtime. Pair it with Apify's built-in schedules to run recurring skip-trace enrichments against your own lead lists.

Input

fullName is required. If it is blank — even when a phone or email is provided — the actor emits an invalid_input sentinel row instead of failing the run.

Example input

{
"fullName":"John Smith",
"state":"CA",
"maxItems":3
}

Output

Each matched person is pushed as a single row with the following fields. Only populated fields are included — no null values.

Example output

{
"type":"skip_trace_person",
"id":"John-Smith",
"url":"https://radaris.com/p/John/Smith/",
"fullName":"John Smith",
"firstName":"John",
"lastName":"Smith",
"addresses":[
{"city":"Bossier City","state":"LA","country":"USA"}
],
"alternateNames":["John R Smith","Jonathan Smith"],
"relatives":[
{"name":"Tracy L Smith"},
{"name":"Monica M Smith"}
],
"latitude":32.5159852,
"longitude":-93.7321228,

How It Works

1. Reads the input and splits fullName into first + last name.
2. Fetches https://radaris.com/p/<First>/<Last>/ (optionally narrowed by ?ql=<state>&city=<city>) with a chrome131 TLS fingerprint.
3. Parses every <script type="application/ld+json"> block on the page and collects every @type: Person entry.
4. Maps each Person to the output schema above and pushes up to maxItems clean rows (no nulls) into the run dataset.

Error Records

The actor never throws; every failure mode is recorded as a sentinel row on the dataset so downstream tooling can decide how to react.

Sentinel shape:

{
"type":"skip_trace_blocked",
"reason":"upstream_error",
"message":"radaris.com request failed (status=503, ...).",
"url":"https://radaris.com/p/John/Smith/?ql=CA",
"scrapedAt":"2026-04-20T12:34:56Z"
}

FAQ

Does this scraper require cookies or login? No. It performs a plain HTTP GET against radaris.com's public profile pages.

Do I need a proxy? No. The actor runs fine from Apify's default datacenter IPs — radaris does not block datacenter ranges.

Can I look up phone numbers or email addresses? No. radaris.com indexes people by name only. Supplying phone or email without a fullName returns an invalid_input sentinel.

Why do I sometimes get only one result for a common name? radaris aggregates all profiles with the same first + last name on a single /p/<First>/<Last>/ page. Use state / city to disambiguate when multiple people share a name.

What is maxItems for? It caps the number of person rows written to the dataset. The default is 3, which is a good fit for lead-enrichment workflows where you only want the top match(es).
