🔍 Radaris People Scraper — SkipTrace & People Lookup

Find anyone in the US by name. Extract structured public records — addresses, phone numbers, relatives, employment, education, and aliases — directly from Radaris.com using clean JSON-LD parsing. No browser required. No login. No cookies.

What This Actor Does

This actor performs name-based people lookups against radaris.com — one of the largest US public records aggregators. It returns rich, structured profiles ready for your CRM, spreadsheet, or automation pipeline.

Input a first name, last name, and optional US state — get back clean, structured records in seconds.

Why This Actor vs. The Competition

Most Radaris scrapers on Apify extract only name and address. This actor goes further.

Bottom line: if you need more than just a name and a city, this is the actor to use.

Output Fields

Each scraped profile is a clean JSON object:

{
"id":"123456789",
"fullName":"Michael Anderson",
"firstName":"Michael",
"lastName":"Anderson",
"birthDate":"1978",
"jobTitle":"Software Engineer",
"workCompany":"Acme Corp",
"education":"Indiana University",
"phones":["+13175550192"],
"addresses":[
"1234 Maple St, Indianapolis, IN, 46201"
],
"relatives":[
"Sandra K Anderson",
"James T Anderson"
],
"aliases":[
"Mike Anderson",
"M Anderson"
]
}

Input

{
"firstName":"Michael",
"lastName":"Anderson",
"state":"IN",
"maxItems":3,
"proxyConfiguration":{
"useApifyProxy":true,
"apifyProxyGroups":["RESIDENTIAL"],
"apifyProxyCountry":"US"
}
}

Note: Using Apify US Residential Proxies (RESIDENTIAL group, country US) is strongly recommended to avoid 403 blocks from Radaris. Datacenter IPs may be throttled.

How It Works

1. Builds the Radaris search URL from the input first and last name, optionally appending a ?ql=STATE filter.
2. Fetches the page with a Chrome-impersonated TLS fingerprint via curl_cffi — no browser, no Playwright overhead.
3. Parses all <script type="application/ld+json"> blocks on the search results page to find encoded profile links (data-elink).
4. Decodes the Base64-encoded profile URLs and visits each one individually.
5. Extracts the Person JSON-LD entity from each profile page — this is the richest structured data Radaris provides.
6. Cleans and normalizes every field: splits names, parses addresses, deduplicates phones, extracts employer and education.
7. Pushes results to the Apify default dataset.

Error Handling

The actor handles all error modes gracefully and logs everything.

Use Cases

• Real estate skip tracing — find landlord contact info, property owner phones and addresses
• Lead enrichment — append employment and contact data to your prospect lists
• Genealogy & research — identify relatives and known associates
• CRM hygiene — verify and update outdated contact records
• Background checks — aggregate public record data for due diligence

Proxy Recommendation

Radaris actively limits access from datacenter IPs. For reliable results:

"proxyConfiguration":{
"useApifyProxy":true,
"apifyProxyGroups":["RESIDENTIAL"],
"apifyProxyCountry":"US"
}

Using non-US or datacenter proxies will likely result in 403 Forbidden responses and empty results.

FAQ

Do I need cookies or a login? No. The actor performs plain HTTP GET requests against public Radaris profile pages.

Why do I get 403 errors? Radaris blocks some datacenter IPs. Switch to US Residential proxies.

Can I look up someone by phone number? Not with this actor — Radaris only supports name-based search. For reverse phone lookup, see other actors in the store.

Can I scrape more than 3 results? Yes — set maxItems to any number. Be mindful of proxy usage costs for large batches.

Why does the actor sometimes find fewer results than expected? Radaris aggregates profiles per name. Narrow your search with a state filter to improve precision on common names.

What does the numeric id field represent? It's the stable numeric identifier in the Radaris profile URL (e.g., https://radaris.com/p/John/Smith/123456789). It can be used to reconstruct the canonical profile URL.
