How to Search US Unclaimed Property Across Multiple States

Description and use

An automated scraper retrieves unclaimed municipal checks and vendor payments from 9 US jurisdictions via open‑data APIs, bypassing bot‑protection and delivering structured results.

Problem

Retrieving unclaimed municipal checks and vendor refunds across multiple US jurisdictions is hampered by anti‑bot defenses on state portals, forcing manual searches.

Outcome

Automated multi‑state searches yield up‑to‑date, standardized records of unclaimed property, enabling high‑value asset recovery, genealogy research, corporate audits, and investigative reporting.

Workflow

• Select mode (search or browse)
• Set state to ALL or specific code
• Enter ownerName if searching
• Set minAmountUsd/maxAmountUsd to filter values
• Choose sortBy and maxItems
• Run actor
• Export results as JSON/CSV/Excel

Evidence

The scraper aggregates these public endpoints into a single, structured multi‑state lookup tool.
