Website Contact Extractor - Emails & Phones

Give it a list of websites and get back the emails, phone numbers and social profiles published on each one. The Actor crawls the home page and the pages where contact details usually live (contact, about, team, legal, imprint, support) on the same domain, extracts every contact it finds, validates the email domains via DNS and returns one clean, deduplicated record per website.

You pay only for websites where at least one contact was found. No browser, no proxies, no CAPTCHA tricks: plain HTTP requests, fast and cheap.

What you get

One Dataset item per website with:

• emails: each with mxValid (the domain can receive mail), the source (mailto link or visible text) and the page where it was found.
• phones: each with the source (tel link or visible text) and the page. Numbers are normalized to digits with the international prefix when present.
• socials: first profile link found per network: Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, Twitter/X, YouTube, TikTok, Pinterest, Threads, WhatsApp, Telegram, GitHub. Share buttons and video links are ignored.
• title, description, finalUrl, pagesCrawled, pages, failedPages, skippedByRobots.

Websites that cannot be fetched are returned with an error field and are not charged.

How to use it

1. Open the Input tab.
2. Paste the website URLs in Website URLs, one per line (the home page is enough).
3. Optionally change Max pages per website (10 by default, up to 30) and Validate email domains.
4. Click Start. Read the results in the Output tab or export them as JSON, CSV or Excel for your CRM.
5. Run it from your code or an AI agent with the API call below, or schedule it to re-check your list and get EMAIL_ADDED, PHONE_ADDED and SOCIAL_CHANGED events when a company publishes new contact details.

Pricing

You pay per website with results, nothing else:

• Contacts found ($0.003): one website where at least one email, phone or social profile was found, with everything included.
• Contacts changed ($0.005): only in scheduled runs, when a website's contacts changed since the previous run.
• Actor start ($0.00005): Apify's standard start fee.

Websites with no contacts and websites that fail are free. 1,000 websites with contacts cost $3. Comparable Actors charge $0.01 to $0.02 per email.

FAQ

It found nothing on a site that clearly has a contact page. Some sites render their content only with JavaScript or hide emails behind forms or images; a plain HTTP crawler cannot read those. Check pagesCrawled: if it is 1, the site may block crawlers or list no internal links.

Why are some emails flagged mxValid: false? Their domain has no mail server, so messages would bounce. Typical for placeholder or outdated addresses.

Does it respect robots.txt? Yes. Pages disallowed for all crawlers are skipped and counted in skippedByRobots.

Can I monitor a list of companies? Yes. Schedule the Actor; every run compares each website with the previous snapshot and emits events for new or removed emails, phones and social profiles.

Is anything bypassed? No. The Actor reads public pages with plain requests, never requests private or internal addresses and never evades anti-bot systems.
