Website Contact Finder — Extract Emails, Phones & Social Links in Bulk

What does Website Contact Finder do?

Website Contact Finder crawls a list of websites and extracts email addresses, phone numbers, and social media profile links from every page — returning one clean contact record per website, ready for CRM import or outreach campaigns.

Provide any list of company URLs and the actor automatically prioritizes contact, about, and team pages for the fastest results. It filters out false positives (image-embedded emails, example domains, noreply addresses), handles multiple formats of phone numbers, and detects profiles on LinkedIn, Twitter/X, Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, GitHub, and TikTok.

No browser required — fast pure HTTP crawling keeps costs low and runs fast.

How much does it cost to find website contacts?

This Actor uses pay-per-event pricing — you pay only for what you scan. No monthly subscription. All platform costs are included.

Event	Free	Bronze ($29/mo)	Silver ($199/mo)	Gold ($999/mo)
Start fee (once per run)	$0.005	$0.005	$0.005	$0.005
Per website scanned	$0.005	$0.005	$0.004	$0.003

Real-world cost examples:

Websites scanned	Cost (Free tier)
1 website	~$0.010
10 websites	~$0.055
100 websites	~$0.505
500 websites	~$2.505

The per-site cost is flat regardless of crawl depth — scanning 20 pages per site costs the same as scanning 5 pages. You control depth via maxPagesPerSite without changing your bill.

On the free $5 credit that every new Apify account gets, you can scan approximately 990 websites.

Sites with no public contact info return emails: [] and phones: [] — never silent failures.

Tips for best results

• 📋 Scan the full list at once — provide all URLs in one run to minimize start fees and get results in one dataset
• 📄 Start with 15–20 pages per site — contact info is usually on the homepage, footer, contact page, or about page
• 🔌 Leave proxy off by default — most sites work without it; enable only if you see timeouts or empty results
• 🔗 Check contactPageUrl — if no email is found, the contact page may use a form instead of a mailto link
• 🤝 Combine with Google Maps Lead Finder — find local businesses → get their websites → scan for emails in one workflow
• 🧹 Filter empty results — some sites deliberately hide emails; plan for ~20–30% of sites returning no email (common for enterprise sites)
• 🌐 Try the full domain root — always use https://company.com rather than a deep subpage; the crawler discovers contact pages automatically

Using the Apify API

Run Website Contact Finder programmatically from your code using the Apify API.

Node.js:

import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client';

const client = new ApifyClient({ token: 'YOUR_API_TOKEN' });

const run = await client.actor('automation-lab/website-contact-finder').call({
    urls: [
        'https://example.com',
        'https://anothercompany.com',
        'https://thirdsite.io',
    ],
    maxPagesPerSite: 20,
});

const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems();
items.forEach(item => {
    console.log(`${item.websiteUrl}: ${item.emails.join(', ') || 'no email found'}`);
});

Python:

from apify_client import ApifyClient

client = ApifyClient('YOUR_API_TOKEN')

run = client.actor('automation-lab/website-contact-finder').call(run_input={

        'https://anothercompany.com',
        'https://thirdsite.io',
    ],
    'maxPagesPerSite': 20,
})

for item in client.dataset(run['defaultDatasetId']).iterate_items():
    emails = ', '.join(item['emails']) if item['emails'] else 'no email found'
    print(f"{item['websiteUrl']}: {emails}")

Is it legal to scrape website contact information?

Website Contact Finder only accesses publicly available web pages — contact information intentionally published by website owners for visitors to find. It does not bypass login walls, CAPTCHAs, or access controls.

Automated collection of public contact data is standard practice in sales prospecting and business research. That said, you should review applicable laws in your jurisdiction and the target website's terms of service. For data containing personal information (individual email addresses), ensure compliance with GDPR, CCPA, and similar privacy regulations — particularly around how you store, use, and retain the data. Read more about the legality of web scraping.

FAQ

What types of emails does it find? Emails from mailto: links and plain text on pages. The actor filters out false positives: image-embedded addresses, addresses at example.com or test.com, noreply@ addresses, and addresses that look like file extensions.

Does it find phone numbers? Yes. It extracts numbers from tel: links and text patterns on pages. It supports US format (e.g., (555) 123-4567), international format (e.g., +44 20 7946 0958), and common variations.

Which social platforms does it detect? LinkedIn, Twitter/X, Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, GitHub, and TikTok. It looks for both full profile URLs and embeds in share buttons or footer links.

How many pages should I crawl per site? 10–20 pages covers most small and medium business websites. Increase to 50+ for large enterprise sites or e-commerce stores with distributed contact info across regional pages.

Do I need a proxy? Usually no. The actor uses HTTP requests without a proxy by default, and most public websites don't block them. Enable proxy only if you see timeout errors or empty results — residential proxies work best for stubborn sites.

Does it need a browser? No. Fast HTTP requests only — no Chromium or Playwright overhead. This keeps cost and run time low.

The actor found no emails on a site I know has contact info. Why? The most common reason is that the email is displayed as an image (to prevent bots) or rendered by JavaScript. Since this actor uses HTTP-only requests (no browser), it cannot extract emails that are only visible after JavaScript execution. Some sites also exclusively use contact forms without ever publishing a mailto: link. Check the contactPageUrl field — it likely points to a form-based contact page.

Can I scrape multiple websites in one run? Yes — bulk processing is built in. Add all URLs to the urls array and the actor scans each one and returns a separate contact record per site.

Should I enable the proxy? Leave it off by default. Only enable if the target website blocks your requests (you'll see timeout errors or 403 responses in the logs). Residential proxies work best for sites with strict bot detection.

How does pricing work for bulk runs? You pay $0.005 per website scanned plus a $0.005 flat start fee per run. 100 websites in one run costs $0.505. The per-page crawl depth is free — increasing maxPagesPerSite does not increase your bill.
