FBI Wanted API
Overview
The FBI Wanted API provides access to the official FBI Most Wanted list, including details on fugitives, missing persons, and sought individuals. No authentication is required, making it simple to integrate into applications. You can search and filter the list programmatically to build awareness tools or data projects.
Beginner Tip
Use the ?page= and ?pageSize= query parameters to paginate through results, as the full list contains many entries. Each person record includes photos, descriptions, and reward information.
