ZabaSearch People Search Scraper

Scrape US people data from ZabaSearch by name and optional state, or by phone number. Returns full name, age, current and past addresses, and phone numbers.

ZabaSearch is a long-established free US people-search database. This actor uses Bright Data Web Unlocker to bypass Cloudflare protection and return clean HTML data.

Features

  • Name search: Search by first name + last name with optional US state filter
  • Phone search: Look up a person by their 10-digit US phone number
  • Structured output: Full name, age, addresses (current + past), and phone numbers per result
  • maxItems control: Limit the number of records returned per run
  • Free source data: ZabaSearch is ad-supported with no paywall

Input

Field Type Description
searchMode string name (default) or phone
firstName string First name (required for name mode)
lastName string Last name (required for name mode)
state string US state filter (optional for name mode, e.g. "California")
phone string 10-digit US phone number (required for phone mode)
maxItems integer Maximum number of records to return (default: 10)

Example: Name search

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

Example: Phone search

{
  "searchMode": "phone",
  "phone": "5551234567",
  "maxItems": 5
}

}

Notes

  • Lighter field set: ZabaSearch does not list email addresses. If you need emails, consider a broader people-search actor.
  • State filter: Using a state narrows results significantly for common names and is recommended.
  • Per-run cost: This actor uses Bright Data Web Unlocker (billed per request). Each name/phone search is one billed request. Keep maxItems proportionate to your budget.
  • 5-min tester: Bright Data solves Cloudflare in ~5–100 s. For the built-in Apify tester, use maxItems: 1 to stay within the time limit.

Use cases

  • Address verification and skip-tracing for common US names
  • Locating people who recently moved (new address discovery)
  • Cross-referencing phone numbers with identity data
  • Lead enrichment for US-only contact lists
