Technical Details

Data Extraction Method

The scraper uses a combination of JSON-LD structured data and HTML element selectors to extract person information:

• Name, phone, email, address: Extracted from JSON-LD Person schema in <script type="application/ld+json"> blocks
• Age: Regex on article.current-bg HTML element (age is not included in JSON-LD)
• Spouse and family: Parsed from JSON-LD spouse and relatedTo arrays of nested Person objects
• Email bypass: JSON-LD stores emails in plaintext, bypassing Cloudflare's XOR email obfuscation in HTML
• US geo-targeting: Uses geoCode=us parameter for residential proxy routing

Element Selectors Used

• Person data: JSON-LD @type: "Person" in <script type="application/ld+json">
• Age: article.current-bg text content with regex Age\s+(\d+)
• Address: JSON-LD contentLocation.address object
• Phone/Email: JSON-LD telephone and email arrays
• Family: JSON-LD relatedTo and spouse arrays

Proxy Configuration

The script uses US-based residential proxies (geoCode=us + super=true) which are essential for accessing SearchPeopleFree. The site enforces dual-layer protection (DataDome + Cloudflare) and strict US geoblocking.

Common Errors

• 403 or blocked: Both DataDome and Cloudflare are rejecting the request; requires super=true with US residential proxies
• Empty person object: Profile may not exist or JSON-LD schema may be missing on that page
• Missing age: The article.current-bg element may not be present on all profiles
• No email returned: Not all profiles have email addresses listed
• Family list empty: Some profiles don't include family connections in the JSON-LD data

Output Format

The script outputs 10 structured fields directly to console:

• Full name, exact age
• Current address with city, state, and ZIP code
• Primary phone number and email address
• Spouse name
• Family members (up to 5)

Privacy & Legal Considerations

• Only access publicly available information
• Respect privacy and data protection laws
• Use responsibly and ethically
• Do not use for harassment or stalking
• Comply with local regulations regarding personal data
