Reverse Skip Trace API, June 2026

Look up persons and their property addresses by phone number or email. Available now.

Written by Charles Parra

Release Date: June 2026

We are excited to announce the launch of our new Reverse Skip Trace API endpoints, now available for all BatchData API customers. This powerful new feature allows you to identify persons and their associated property addresses by searching with phone numbers or email addresses.

What's New

The Reverse Skip Trace API provides the opposite functionality of our traditional skip trace service. Instead of starting with a property address to find contact information, you can now start with contact information to find people and their properties. This opens up new possibilities for customer identification, lead qualification, and data enrichment workflows.

The API supports both synchronous and asynchronous processing modes to handle workloads of any size efficiently.

Use Cases

  • Lead Qualification: Verify and enrich leads by identifying property ownership from contact information

  • Customer Identification: Match phone numbers or emails to property owners for verification

  • Data Enrichment: Append property information to existing contact records

  • Reverse Lookups: Identify who owns properties based on phone or email contacts

  • Portfolio Analysis: Connect contact information to property portfolios

Inputs Accepted

The Reverse Skip Trace API accepts the following inputs:

  • Phone number only: Search by phone to identify persons and their properties

  • Email address only: Search by email to identify persons and their properties

  • Both phone and email: Combine both inputs for increased match accuracy

Each request can process up to 100 search items in batch mode.

Pricing

Reverse Skip Trace uses a per-match billing model - you're only charged for successful matches, not for searches that return no results.

Both Pay-As-You-Go (PAYG) and subscription tiers are available. For current pricing and tier details, please visit our pricing page:
