Personator Search Quickstart#
Introduction#
Welcome to the Personator Search Cloud API. This service is designed to enable the user to perform extremely flexible searches to Melissa’s consumer database. The Personator Search Cloud API allows for restoring missing information from your data which are typically not correctable.
The Personator Search Cloud API leverages a combination of a multitude of premium data sources, including consumer data, credit data, demographic data, government data, telco data, and several others. Through these combined sources, we are able to compile a database of billions of records containing current and historical data for an individual’s addresses, phone numbers, and emails.
Here are some example search capabilities of the service:
An individual’s Current Address
An individual’s Previous Address
An individual’s Phone Numbers
An individual’s Email Addresses
Individuals living at an address
Individuals tied to a phone number
Date of Birth and/or Date of Death
Name matches for a given area
Appended missing address line
Fuzzy Names/Nickname handling
This service is not intended for skip tracing or name-only searches.
