Getting Started
Get started with the Whitepages API
The Whitepages API provides access to comprehensive person and property data. Whether you're verifying identities, enriching customer records, or researching properties, our API delivers the data you need.
Get Your API Key
To access the API, you'll need an API key. Sign up for a free trial at whitepages.com/pro-api.
Keep Your API Key Secret
Your API key authenticates all requests and tracks usage for billing. Never expose it in client-side code or public repositories. If your key is compromised, contact support@whitepages.com for a replacement.
Available APIs
Person Search
Look up individuals by name, phone, or address
Property Search
Get ownership and resident data for any address
Making Requests
All API requests require your API key in the X-Api-Key header:
curl 'https://api.whitepages.com/v1/person?name=John%20Smith' \
--header 'X-Api-Key: YOUR_API_KEY'Responses are returned in JSON format. Each successful request that returns data consumes one billable query.
