Searchbug People Search APIs: Differences Between Advanced Person, Enhanced People, People Trace

We offer three distinct APIs that cater to varying requirements: Advanced Person Search, Enhanced People Search, and People Trace APIs. 

1. Advanced Person Search API: Streamlined Verification - The Advanced Person Search API makes identity verification simple. It’s designed to verify identities without handling sensitive Social Security Number (SSN) information. This means there is no need for the Restricted Access Add-On (RA), meaning even standard users have access to this API and its treasure-trove of accurate data.

It is perfect for businesses or individuals who need quick and reliable identity checks and contact information without the complexities and responsibilities that come with managing sensitive data.

2. Enhanced People Search API: Comprehensive Searches Including SSN - The Enhanced People Search API provides a more in-depth verification process, including the ability to search by or for SSNs. This means users must have the Restricted Access add-on (RA) and take on the additional responsibility of managing federally regulated data.

3. People Trace API: Advanced Tracking with Multiple Data Sources - The People Trace API is the most robust option for tracking down hard-to-find individuals, as it utilizes a multitude of data feeds for enhanced tracking. Like the Enhanced People Search API, it allows SSN searches and requires RA to use this search type.

If you're still unsure which one to pick, you can read our blog Searchbug People Search APIs: Differences Between Advanced Person, Enhanced People, People Trace or watch the video below.
