Skip tracing: Extract phones & emails from TruePeopleSearch with Zyte API

TruePeopleSearch Scraper for Skip Tracers

Enrich any list of people with verified contact info using this workflow. This n8n automation scrapes TruePeopleSearch using Zyte's extraction API to safely bypass bot protection and extract detailed profiles. It’s built for data brokers, skip tracers, and real estate professionals who need clean contact data (phone, email, address) from names alone — even when the main profile is empty.

If the original profile lacks a phone number, the workflow intelligently scrapes one of their listed relatives instead — giving you the best possible chance of finding a valid number.

What this workflow does

- Pulls lead data (first name, last name, and custom search URL) from a Google Sheet - Sends the TruePeopleSearch search URL to Zyte’s Scraping API to retrieve search results HTML - Parses the first matching profile link from the results (by full name > first name > last name) - Visits that profile page and extracts: - Full Name - Age / Date of Birth - Primary Phone Number - Other Phone Numbers - Email Addresses - Current Address - If no phone numbers are found: - Detects a relative's profile link - Scrapes the relative’s profile for fallback contact data - Writes all scraped information (or empty fields) back into the same row in Google Sheets
