Email & Social Lead Finder

Crawl any list of websites and pull out the contact signals that matter for lead generation: email addresses, phone numbers, social media profiles and page metadata — one clean row per page.

Point it at a company's homepage or contact page, let it follow same-domain links a hop or two deep, and export the results as JSON, CSV or Excel.

What it does

• Fetches each start URL with a fast HTTP crawler (no browser overhead).
• Follows same-domain links up to a configurable depth.
• Extracts:
  • Emails — from visible text, mailto: links, and common obfuscations (name [at] domain (dot) com).
  • Phones — from tel: links and text, normalised to digits with an optional leading + (7–15 digits, E.164-friendly).
  • Social profiles — Facebook, Instagram, X/Twitter, LinkedIn, YouTube, TikTok, Pinterest, GitHub, Telegram, WhatsApp, Medium, Threads, Discord. Share/intent widgets are filtered out.
  • Metadata — title, description, Open Graph tags, canonical URL, language.
• Respects robots.txt (toggleable) and rate limits (maxRequestsPerMinute, maxConcurrency).
