FastPeopleSearch — People Search Scraper

Scrape US people data from FastPeopleSearch — phone numbers, current and past addresses, age, relatives, and associates. Supports name search, reverse phone lookup, and reverse address lookup.

FastPeopleSearch is free to browse but hardened behind Cloudflare managed challenges. Standard scraping approaches get HTTP 403. This actor routes every request through Bright Data Web Unlocker, which clears the challenge server-side and returns clean HTML.


What it collects

Each person record contains:

Field Description
fullName Full name as listed
age Age (integer)
currentAddress Current street address
pastAddresses Prior addresses (array of strings)
phones Phone numbers (array)
relatives Relatives listed on the profile (array)
associates Associates listed on the profile (array)
profileUrl Direct URL to the FastPeopleSearch profile page
source Always "fastpeoplesearch"
scrapedAt ISO-8601 timestamp

Search modes

Set searchMode to one of three values:

name — Search by name

Find people by first and last name. Optionally narrow by US state or city + state.

{
  "searchMode": "name",
  "firstName": "John",
  "lastName": "Smith",
  "state": "NY",
  "maxItems": 10
}

phone — Reverse phone lookup

Enter a phone number to retrieve the associated person record.

{
  "searchMode": "phone",
  "phone": "5551234567",
  "maxItems": 1
}

address — Reverse address lookup

Enter a street address (with city and state) to find residents.

{
  "searchMode": "address",
  "address": "123 Main St",
  "city": "Brooklyn",
  "state": "NY",
  "maxItems": 5
}

Notes

  • Bright Data Web Unlocker: Every request bills a Bright Data unblocking unit. This is what makes the site accessible; it also means per-request cost is higher than a plain HTTP scraper. The price coefficient reflects this.
  • Rate of retrieval: Each BD request takes 30–100 seconds for CF-hardened pages. Expect longer run times than typical scrapers.
  • Public records only: FastPeopleSearch aggregates publicly available US records. The data reflects what the source publishes.
  • maxItems: Applies to person records returned (detail pages scraped). Set low for quick lookups, higher for broad name searches.

Use cases

  • Lead generation and prospecting — find contact info for a named individual
  • Address verification — confirm or enrich a known address record
  • Reverse phone triage — identify who's behind an unknown number
  • Genealogy and people research — find relatives and location history
