API - People Search (api_ppl)
Many other online data companies only use internal data or send you elsewhere. The Searchbug Advanced Person Search API utilizes sophisticated algorithms from various data partners to find the most up to date and complete contact records for people in US. We like to think of it as a mini Skip Trace report.
The results are gathered from the best possible databases and often include a full name and "aka" aliases, both current and previous addresses, all known phone numbers and their types (wireless or landline), date of birth, date of death if deceased, relative names and DOB, as well personal bankruptcies, liens and judgements. While not all information is available for all records, this API is the gold standard of Contact Information APIs.
Accounts with Restricted Access Add-on can also search by and see SSN and Driver's license info in the results. More info.
Person ID obtained from People Search can be used to access Background Report with even more details (evictions, criminal records, personal lien, judgment and bankruptcy filings, licenses, etc.).
Supported search input options:
- First and Last Name (middle name is optional) + DOB

API - Property Records (api_prop)
Looking to find property owner information? Our property data API is ideal for businesses needing the current contact information, such as the name and phone number of the current owner of a specific property. This is especially helpful when researching rental property to find the actual owner.
The Searchbug Property Records API includes important details to identify owners or landlords if they are also the property owner rather than the property residents or occupants. This is especially handy when researching rental properties so you can contact the actual decision-maker. It is also fantastic for researching multi-unit and commercial properties and parcels with an address.
This Property Records API is also known as a Real Estate API since it provides comprehensive information to real estate professionals, such as owner name, property address, size, type, elevation, assessed value, and much more.

HOW DO I GET ACCESS TO APIs?
How To Videos
To use an API you will need a Searchbug account. Sign up now.
The cost of each API is based on either a Query or a Hit (match) and the cost is deducted from the established Prepaid account balance. Review each API for the associated cost, and, if the charge is per Hit (when information is found) or per Query.
APIs require a Prepaid account. Prepaid accounts are automatically recharged when your account is low on funds to avoid service interruption. You can select any prepaid amount from $10 to $1,000. If you are just testing the system, we suggest starting with a $10 prepaid account. Your credit card will only be charged $10 and you can implement testing. When you finish testing, we suggest you increase your prepaid amount to match your anticipated volume to avoid multiple small charges.
Why it Is important to have the proper prepaid account amount selected: If you keep your prepaid account at $10 and anticipate using more than $10 in service every few days, your card will be charged multiple times in a short period. Multiple small charges to the same vendor in a short period can often trigger your credit card company to decline charges as suspicious activity which will cause your service to be interrupted.
We suggest you select a prepaid amount that will cover a least one week of search volume. Note that Prepaid amounts never expire. Should you decide to stop using the service, you can simply request the account balance of unused funds be credited back to your card.
For qualified customers, we offer an option to test data quality of our APIs with a limited number of live queries and to start integration activities. Once you complete your testing, you will be able to upgrade to a full account by adding a valid payment method. Start using SearchBug APIs by creating Test API Account. After you submit your request, please contact us by phone (800-990-2939) or chat to finalize your test account.
If you need access to SSN and Tracing APIs, create an account and then apply for Restricted Access.
