Is there any API for spokeo ? I wanted to get results in json or xml format and I tried finding an api for it but couldn't. Has anyone tried scraping spokeo with or without the api ? I'm sure we can scrape in a general way but I dont know how to proceed when search results come up with more than one location area. Thanks

According to Spokeo's terms of use, scrapers are explicitly prohibited, as are any "derivative works" - even if all such works do is frame content from their site.

If you publish this in a publicly available application, be prepared for some flak for it.

I think an easier answer would be to work with the FullContact Person API
