Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
What is the People Search API used for?
The People Search API helps businesses, investigators, and legal professionals verify identities, find contact details, and enrich their databases with accurate information. It’s often used for lead generation, background verification, KYC processes, and customer record enhancement.
What are the "Find" APIs used for?
The Find Name and Address, Find Phone Number, and Find Email APIs are used for many of the same purposes as the People Search API. The main difference is the quality and source of the data. As such, these APIs are generally used more for general marketing purposes.
How to find a name from a phone number?
Our People Search API and Find Name and Address API allow users to search by phone number to identify the owner’s name and address. It’s ideal for businesses needing to validate customer data or track down missing information.
Is this API suitable for KYC compliance?
Yes! The People Search API is often used in KYC processes to confirm customer details before onboarding. Financial institutions, insurance companies, and compliance teams rely on this API to meet regulatory requirements.
How do I pay for API services?
All of our APIs work off of a prepaid balance. First, you load your account with a predetermined amount of funds between $10 and $5000. With each API call, the system will slowly chip away at your prepaid balance. When the prepaid balance gets low, the system automatically replenishes your balance with the predetermined amount.
To add a prepaid balance, log into your account and click your name at the top > select 'Your Account' from the dropdown menu > under the 'Billing Details' section click 'SWITCH PLAN'.
How does the API pricing work?
When a query is successful (called a "hit"), charges apply. There is no charge if there is no information found on a query. The cost per hit decreases as your monthly volume increases, making it cost-effective for businesses handling high search volumes.
Can I test the API before purchasing?
Yes! We offer free API testing for qualified users. Register for a no-obligation Sandbox API Test Account, and you’ll receive a limited number of live queries to evaluate the quality of our data before fully integrating.
How often is the data updated?
Searchbug utilizes sophisticated algorithms to search a multitude of data sources to ensure the contact data quality is always fresh, accurate, up-to-date, and never stale.
