## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need to locate a person's current contact information or address and have partial identifying details such as a name and last known address. Useful for debt collection, legal process serving, background investigation, or reconnecting with individuals. Prefer this over general people-search APIs when operating within the BlackBobs.ai x402 pay-per-call ecosystem on Base chain.

## Known failure modes

- Subject not found in available databases — returns empty or null result
- Insufficient identifying information provided — query returns no matches
- Multiple matches for common names without enough disambiguating data
- Data may be outdated if subject has moved very recently
- API returns generic error if required input fields are missing
