💰 US Unclaimed Property Scraper

Search the official unclaimed property databases of Pennsylvania, Massachusetts and West Virginia by owner or business name and get every property the state lists: owner, co-owner, last known address, the business that reported it, property type and amount, exactly as the state's own search shows them. Many names and states in one run, export to JSON, CSV or Excel. No login needed. $3.40 per 1,000 properties, platform usage included.

✨ Why use US Unclaimed Property Scraper?

  • 🏛️ Official sources — reads the states' own public claim-search pages (searchandclaimpa.gov, findmassmoney.gov, wvunclaimedproperty.gov), the same results anyone can look up there.
  • 📋 Every listed property — all matches of a search come back in one go, with exact name matches first, then similar names, as on the state's page.
  • 🔎 Many searches at once — a list of last or business names, across several states, with optional city and ZIP filters, a first name to bring matching owners to the top, plus property ID lookups.
  • 🧾 Clean rows — one row per listed owner of a property, the same columns the state shows, plus which search found it.
  • 🤖 No login, no setup — the state's bot check is handled for you.

🎯 Use cases

  • 🙋 Check your own name (and old addresses) or your family's for money waiting to be claimed.
  • 🏢 Businesses and nonprofits checking for forgotten refunds, uncashed checks and deposits reported under their name.
  • ⚖️ Estate executors, attorneys and accountants checking a list of names for an estate or client file.
  • 🔁 Repeat checks — schedule the same names monthly to catch newly reported property.
  • 📊 Research on the kinds of property and holders that end up unclaimed.

🚀 How to use

  1. Enter one or more last or business names (e.g. Zelinsky, or a company name).
  2. Pick the states to search (Pennsylvania is selected by default).
  3. Optionally narrow the name searches by city or ZIP code, add a first name to list matching owners first, or look up property IDs.
  4. Set Max properties if you only want the first results, then click Start.
  5. Download the results as JSON, CSV or Excel, or read them through the API.

Not every state shows every column: Massachusetts shows no amount; West Virginia shows only the owner name, city, state and property ID. Columns a state does not show are null.

  "ownerName": "DOE JANE",
  "coOwnerName": null,
  "holderName": "EXAMPLE INSURANCE COMPANY",
  "address": "123 MAIN ST",
  "city": "HARRISBURG",
  "state": "PA",

❓ FAQ

Is it legal? The data comes from the states' own public unclaimed property searches, which anyone can use without an account. Use the results responsibly and in line with the laws that apply to you, including any rules for paid property-finder services in your state.

Do I need a login or proxy? No. The actor opens each state's public search page in a hosted browser and handles its bot check.

How many results do I get? Every property the state's search returns for your name and filters, up to the states' own limit of 1,000 per search. Use maxItems to stop earlier.

Why do I get similar names? The states' searches list exact name matches first and then similar names, and the actor keeps that order. Add a city or ZIP code to narrow it down, or a first name to bring matching owners to the top.

Why is a field empty? Some states do not show every column (see Output), and some records have no city or ZIP code.

Can I claim property here? No. Use the searchUrl link: claims are filed on the state's own site.

Can I schedule it or use the API? Yes, like any actor on Scrape.ly: schedules, API, webhooks and integrations.

⚠️ Limits

  • Covers Pennsylvania, Massachusetts and West Virginia only.
  • The states' search returns at most 1,000 properties per search (a very common name such as Smith reaches it). The run says which searches reached it; add a city or ZIP code to those searches to see the rest.
  • A name search needs at least 2 letters; the states do not offer wildcard or list-all searches.
  • Results are whatever the state's search returns at run time; property that was already claimed or is not yet reported is not listed.
  • Searches run one after another, usually 5–15 seconds each; a search whose bot check stalls is retried in a new browser, which can add up to a minute.
