📇 Contact Details Scraper

Extract emails, phone numbers, and social-media profiles from any website — at scale, automatically. Give it one or many start URLs and it crawls each site (including subpages and iframes), collecting every publicly available contact detail it can find and saving results to a clean, exportable dataset.

Built for sales prospecting, lead generation, market research, and keeping your CRM fresh — using only publicly available data.

🌟 Why Choose Us?

• 🧠 Smart crawling — automatically prioritizes contact / about / team / support pages.
• 🛡️ Self-healing proxy ladder — starts direct, then escalates to datacenter → residential only when a site blocks it, so you pay for proxies only when needed.
• 🧭 Auto browser fallback — fast HTTP first; renders JavaScript-heavy pages with a real Chromium browser when required.
• 🧬 Merge mode — consolidate every contact found across a whole site into one tidy row.
• 📞 Phone validation — E.164-aware validation separates real phone numbers from timestamps, IDs and dates (kept in a separate "uncertain" column).
• 💾 Live results — rows are saved as soon as each site finishes, so a long run never loses progress.

💰 Pricing

This Actor uses the Pay-per-event model. The primary billable event is contact-record — one charge per result row saved to the dataset. Platform usage (compute, proxies) is billed by Apify as usual. Configure exact prices in the Console Monetization wizard.

❓ FAQ

Does it work on JavaScript-heavy sites? Yes — it auto-renders pages with Chromium when the raw HTML looks incomplete, or you can force it with useBrowser.

Why are some numbers under phonesUncertain? They look phone-shaped but lack a valid country code (often timestamps or IDs). They are kept separately so real phones stay clean.

Do I need a proxy? No. It runs direct by default and only escalates to datacenter → residential proxies if a site blocks it.
