💡 Pro Tip — HTTP Request scraping tends to break when sites update their markup. If you’re scraping a major platform, check if ScraperNode covers it — it has maintained scrapers for LinkedIn, Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, and 20+ other platforms that return structured data.
Description
Who is this for
This template is for investigators, real estate professionals, recruiters, and sales teams who need to skip trace individuals — finding current addresses, phone numbers, and emails from a name, phone, or email address. It is ideal for anyone who needs to enrich a list of contacts with verified location and contact data at scale.
How it works
- You configure a list of names (or phones/emails) in the setup node.
- The workflow submits a skip trace job to the ScraperCity People Finder API and captures the run ID.
- An async polling loop checks the job status every 60 seconds until it returns SUCCEEDED.
- Once complete, the results are downloaded, parsed from CSV, and written row by row to Google Sheets.
How to set up
- Add your ScraperCity API key as an HTTP Header Auth credential named “ScraperCity API Key”.
- Open the “Configure Search Inputs” node and replace the placeholder names with your target list.
- Open the “Save Results to Google Sheets” node and set your Google Sheet document ID and sheet name.
- Click Execute to run.
Requirements
- ScraperCity account with People Finder access (app.scrapercity.com)
- Google Sheets OAuth2 credential connected to n8n
How to customize the workflow
- Switch the search input from names to phone numbers or emails by editing the JSON body in “Start People Finder Scrape”.
- Increase or decrease max_results in the request body to control how many matches are returned per person.
- Add a Filter node after CSV parsing to keep only results with a confirmed phone number or address.
