True People Search api

[Landon1285]

Does anyone have or use an api to gather data from truepeoplesearch.com? 

 

Some of my researchers are having issues when looking up names.

What is this website for ?

The Brothers and sisters use it to confirm householders for letter writing and telephone witnessing.

In the USA we use 'True People Search' to locate people in the congregation territory.  You can start with an address (or even a phone number) and locate the individual by name and location.  It was an immense help during the Pandemic letter writing service.

 

There are several location services, some are free and some require a subscription.  The free ones often limit the number of searches in a given period of time.  This prevents businesses from overwhelming the system with mass searches.

Ho, that's why it's blocked from here in Europe

Yup we use it but it tends to stop you after so many times you research. 

 

Using an API apparently is the solution according to truepeoplesearch.com
