apivault-skip-trace

A thin Python client for authorized name, address, phone and email lookups through the hosted Skip Trace Actor.

Lawful use only. This is not a consumer-reporting service. Do not use returned data for credit, employment, housing, insurance, tenant screening or other FCRA-regulated decisions. Verify important information independently.

Install

pip install apivault-skip-trace

Quick start

from apivault_skip_trace import SkipTrace

client = SkipTrace("your_apify_token")

rows = client.search_name(
    "Jane Example",
    location="Springfield, IL",
    max_results=3,
    output_preset="contacts",
)

print("rows returned:", len(rows))

The sample is fictional. Replace it only with information you are authorized to process.

Lookup methods

client.search_name("Jane Example", location="Springfield, IL")
client.search_address("123 Example Ave", "Springfield, IL 62704")
client.search_phone("(202) 555-0182")
client.search_email("jane@example.com")

Each method supports a small max_results limit and an output_preset of contacts, flat, or full. Contacts is recommended for review queues; Full includes the complete public result when available.

Pricing

• $6.50 per 1,000 delivered matched-person records;
• unmatched queries have no result charge;
• the small Actor Start charge and Apify platform usage may still apply;
• no subscription or monthly minimum.

Start with 1–3 results and review match quality before increasing the limit.

Review-first use case

Read the maintained contact-enrichment playbook. Keep a manual approval step before CRM import or outreach.
