Website Contact Scraper for Emails and Phones

Turn website URLs into public emails, phone numbers and social links with source evidence. Website Contact Scraper collects published contact details from company, publisher and organization websites, then groups them into one record per unique input for CRM enrichment, supplier research and media outreach.

Start with a website domain or an exact contact-page URL. No code or selectors are needed. Review the sources, then export JSON, CSV or Excel, or retrieve the results through the Apify API.

Pricing is $8 per 1,000 saved website contact results, plus $0.00005 per run. Multiple contacts in one result still count as one result. See Pricing for what is charged and what has no result fee.

Why use this website contact scraper?

• Review contacts at their source. Emails, phones, social profiles and messaging contacts include sourceUrls so you can check their context.
• Keep each website lookup together. Contacts from selected pages are merged into one record, with repeated contacts deduplicated within that lookup.
• Choose a focused search. Read only your supplied contact page, or discover relevant contact, about, imprint and office pages within your page allowance.
• Collect more than email. Extract phone and fax numbers, supported social profiles, messaging contacts and contact-form links. Recognized phones can include international formatting and extensions.
• Understand empty and partial results. Website-level statuses explain what happened, while available contacts are retained.

This is a public website contact extractor. It does not guess email addresses, verify inbox delivery or confirm contact ownership.

How to extract contacts from a website

1. Open Input and enter one website URL or domain per line.
2. Keep Maximum pages per website at 5 for contact discovery, or choose 1 to read only the supplied page.
3. Leave Phone country hint on Automatic detection unless you know the country needed to interpret local numbers.
4. Select Start and open the run's Dataset to review contacts and website statuses.
5. Check the source links, then download your data or use it in an integration.

An exact URL starts at that page, not the website homepage. Try one website first to check the results and budget before submitting a larger batch.

Input parameters

Parameter	Default	Description
websites	Required	An array of website URL or domain strings. Paths are preserved. Identical strings are deduplicated after trimming whitespace; different URLs on the same website remain separate inputs.
maxPagesPerWebsite	5	A whole number from 1 to 10, including the starting page. Use 1 for an exact page or keep 5 to discover related contact pages. Failed additional-page attempts use the allowance too. This limits pages, not contacts.
defaultPhoneCountry	Automatic detection	An optional phone-number country hint, selected from the dropdown or supplied as a supported two-letter code such as US, GB or CN. Omit it or use "" for automatic detection. It applies to every website in the run and does not filter websites by country.

Blank entries are ignored; at least one nonblank website is required. Quoted page counts, decimals, booleans and a null country hint are not supported. If the Actor receives an input it cannot use, such as an unsupported phone-country code, it completes successfully with invalidInput Dataset notices and errorCode: "INVALID_INPUT_PARAMETERS". The message explains how to correct the input. No websites are requested and no result fees are charged. Empty input never runs a demonstration website.

Some inputs that do not match the input schema can be rejected by Apify before a run starts. Such requests do not create a run or Dataset. For an input notice returned by a started run, the separate Actor start fee can still apply.

Individual malformed website strings receive invalidInput rows while valid websites continue. Use HTTP(S) URLs or domains with valid hostnames and ports; encode spaces as %20. FTP is not supported.

Keep automatic phone-country detection for mixed-country batches. Choose a hint only when you know the context of local numbers; it is not a location filter or proof of a company's address.

Output fields and example

The Dataset contains one row per unique input, not one row per email or phone. A websiteContact row holds contact arrays, including empty arrays when nothing of that type was found. A websiteStatus row contains status information without unnecessary contact fields.

Field	Description
recordType	websiteContact for a retrieved-page result; websiteStatus for a status-only result, such as an invalid website or an unsaved result after a budget limit.
status	Per-website outcome. See the status table below.
inputUrl	Original trimmed input, included when it differs from websiteUrl or no final URL is available.
websiteUrl	Final starting-page URL after redirects, when available.
domain	Registrable website domain used for grouping, such as usp.br.
title	Page title, preferring the starting page. This is not a verified company name.
emails	Objects containing value and sourceUrls.
phones	Objects containing published value and sourceUrls, with e164, extension or type: "fax" only when applicable.
socialLinks	Objects containing platform, normalized profile url and sourceUrls.
messagingLinks	Objects containing platform and sourceUrls, with a published url and/or an explicitly labeled WhatsApp value and recognized e164 when available. No messaging URL is invented from a number.
contactFormUrls	Contact-form pages or published embedded-form URLs. These are possible contact methods, not verified sales forms.
errorCode	Optional machine-readable reason, such as INVALID_INPUT or MAX_CHARGE_REACHED. Generated by the Actor for programmatic handling.
message	Optional human-readable explanation or guidance. It can describe an empty or partial result, not only an error.
scrapedAt	UTC extraction time in ISO 8601 format.

The default table focuses on status, emails, phones, social links, messaging links, contact forms and website URLs. Download JSON for the full contact objects and their source URLs.

Real website contact output

This input corresponds to the real cloud result below. The example uses three selected pages; the default page allowance is five.

What do errorCode and message mean?

These are Actor-generated status fields, not contact details taken from the website. Successful, complete results normally omit them.

• errorCode helps software distinguish situations. INVALID_INPUT means a website string is malformed or unsupported; INVALID_INPUT_PARAMETERS means input settings need correction and no lookups were started; PARTIAL_PAGE_FAILURE means some selected pages were unavailable; and MAX_CHARGE_REACHED means the remaining budget cannot cover another result.
• message explains the situation for the person reading the results. A noContactsFound row can have a message without an error code. A partial row can contain useful contacts alongside its explanation.

Check status first. For unexpected results, use the run's Run summary and page diagnostics output and include the run ID when requesting support.

Supported social and messaging links

The Actor recognizes supported profile, company, channel, community and messaging links published on the selected pages, including these platforms:

Group	Supported platforms
Social networks and communities	Facebook, Instagram, X/Twitter, LinkedIn, Threads, Bluesky, Snapchat, Reddit, Pinterest, Mastodon
Video and livestreaming	YouTube, TikTok, Twitch, Vimeo, Dailymotion, Rumble, Kick
Chinese-language platforms	Weibo, Douyin, Xiaohongshu/RED, Kuaishou, Bilibili, Zhihu, Toutiao, Qzone
Russia and CIS	VK, OK, Dzen, Rutube
Regional blogs and communities	Pixiv, Naver Blog, Naver Cafe, ShareChat, Moj
Professional and creator pages	GitHub, GitLab, Behance, Dribbble, Flickr, Quora, Medium, Tumblr, Patreon, Substack
Audio and creator link pages	Spotify, SoundCloud, Linktree, Beacons
Messaging contacts and invitations	WhatsApp, Telegram, Discord, Messenger, Signal, LINE, KakaoTalk, Viber, WeChat, WeCom, QQ, Slack, Zalo, Threema

Individual posts, videos and share links are not profile results. This is not an account-search or social-profile-details service. URL coverage varies; not every regional, custom-domain or shortened link is supported. Messaging invitations may expire or require approval.

Website statuses and troubleshooting

Status	Meaning
complete	At least one supported contact or form candidate was found and no selected-page errors were recorded. This does not mean every contact on the entire website was found.
partial	Some selected pages could not be accessed completely. Available extracted contacts are retained.
noContactsFound	Selected pages were retrieved without recorded errors, but no supported contacts or form candidates were found.
invalidInput	A website string or input setting needs correction. Check errorCode and message. Input-setting notices complete the run successfully without starting website lookups.
requestBlocked	Access to the starting page was restricted.
unavailable	The starting page could not be accessed or is not a supported website page. Check errorCode and message.
chargeLimitReached	The spending limit does not allow another paid result. This input has no saved contact result and no result fee was charged for it.

Handled website-level problems produce Dataset rows rather than silently disappearing. The run completes successfully even if every lookup returns an unavailable notice. A successful run means inputs were handled, not that every website yielded contacts: check each row's status, errorCode and message. Unsuccessful lookup notices have no result fee; the Actor start fee can still apply. Input-setting problems handled by the Actor also return successful runs with clear Dataset notices. Known input websites each receive a notice; when no website list can be read, one general input notice is returned. Unexpected application errors or a platform timeout can still prevent a run from completing.

complete describes the selected pages, not full-site coverage. Empty arrays do not prove that contacts are absent elsewhere. Processing time varies with the website and page allowance.

API and automation

Use the website contact scraper through the Apify API from Python, JavaScript or an HTTP step in n8n, Make or Zapier. Apify also provides scheduling, integrations and monitoring tools for recurring workflows.

Start a run with an Apify token:

curl -X POST \
  "https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/arjun_code~website-contact-scraper/runs" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $APIFY_TOKEN" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"websites":["https://www.fea.usp.br/contato"],"maxPagesPerWebsite":3,"defaultPhoneCountry":""}'

The start response contains the run ID. Wait for that run to finish, then use its defaultDatasetId to fetch the results:

curl \
  "https://api.apify.com/v2/datasets/DATASET_ID/items?format=json" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $APIFY_TOKEN"

Replace DATASET_ID with the run's actual Dataset ID and keep tokens private. Download JSON to preserve nested contact objects and source URLs, or export CSV or Excel from Console. For one spreadsheet row per contact, flatten the arrays in your downstream workflow.

Pricing

Pay per saved website contact result, not per email, phone, page or request. You do not need to purchase 1,000 results at once.

Event	Price
Website contact result (website-contact-result)	$0.008 each, or $8 per 1,000 results
Actor start (apify-actor-start)	$0.00005 per run at the supported 512 MB memory setting

Standard Actor runs do not add platform usage charges to these event prices. Check the Pricing tab for the active rates before starting a run.

What counts as a paid result?

A saved website result is charged once when it contains at least one public email, phone number, social profile or messaging contact. Many contacts in that result still count as one paid result. partial results are charged on the same basis when at least one of these contact types was saved.

Invalid, blocked, unavailable, empty and spending-limit status rows have no result fee. A result containing only contact-form links also has no result fee. The separate start fee can still apply when a run starts but returns no paid results.

Identical trimmed inputs are deduplicated. Different URLs on the same domain are separate lookups and can produce separate paid results.

How much does website contact scraping cost?

A run saving 10 paid website results costs $0.08005: 10 × $0.008 + $0.00005 for one start. A run saving 100 paid results costs $0.80005. Extra contacts within those results do not increase the result fee.

The minimum selectable run budget is $0.01, not a minimum charge. When the remaining budget cannot cover another paid result, further lookups stop and unsaved inputs receive chargeLimitReached rows without result fees. Available saved results remain in the Dataset. Requests already in progress may have consumed resources before cancellation.

FAQ

Can I scrape only a contact page?

Yes. Enter its exact URL and set maxPagesPerWebsite to 1. The input path is preserved, and no additional website pages are selected.

Can I use it as a website email finder?

Yes. Public emails, phones and social contacts can be returned together. This is not an email-guessing or deliverability-verification service.

Why is a published phone number missing or not in international format?

Some local numbers need the correct country context. Keep automatic detection for mixed-country batches, or choose defaultPhoneCountry when you know the region. A published number may appear in value without e164. Recognized extensions and explicit fax markers are included when available.

Does the phone-country hint filter websites by country?

No. It helps interpret local phone numbers across the run. It does not search for websites, translate pages or verify an organization's location.

Does it process every page on a website?

No. It reads the supplied page and selected relevant links within maxPagesPerWebsite. More pages can reveal additional contacts but may take longer. For large batches, check the run timeout and spending limit and split inputs when needed.

Why is my result partial or empty?

Some pages may be unavailable, restricted or missing supported contacts. Review the status and sources. Increasing the page allowance can help when details are on another contact page, but it does not guarantee more contacts or access to restricted pages.

Can it read contacts hidden in images, QR codes or login-only pages?

Not comprehensively. Image-only contacts, QR codes and sign-in-only pages may not produce results. Bare WeChat or QQ IDs without supported contact links, and app-only contact methods, are not comprehensively covered.

Limitations and responsible use

Coverage is limited to the selected public pages and supported contact types. The Actor does not send emails, call numbers, submit forms, score leads or perform outreach. Access to every website and full-site completeness are not guaranteed.

A contact may belong to a department, employee, group company or external service provider. Source links and phone formatting do not verify ownership or reachability. Published details can be outdated, and false positives remain possible; review the sources before use.

Respect website terms and applicable privacy and communication requirements. Publicly available contact information is not consent to unsolicited messages. This is an independent extraction tool, not an endorsement by the websites or social platforms it recognizes.

Support

Open an issue on this Actor's Apify page with the run ID, affected website, input settings and the contact or status you want reviewed. Include relevant source URLs and the page information from the run summary when available. Do not post API keys, cookies, passwords or private contact information.
