You are not charged for the Apify platform usage, but only a fixed price for specific events.

Actors are a software tools running on the Apify platform, for all kinds of web data extraction and automation use cases. In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours, and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store. In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server. Actors are written with capital "A". ## How to integrate an Actor? If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects. You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready. The best way to integrate Actors is as follows. In JavaScript/TypeScript projects, use official [JavaScript/TypeScript client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js.md): ```bash npm install apify-client ``` In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python.md): ```bash pip install apify-client ``` In shell scripts, use [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): ````bash # MacOS / Linux curl -fsSL https://apify.com/install-cli.sh | bash # Windows irm https://apify.com/install-cli.ps1 | iex ```bash In AI frameworks, you might use the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/mcp.md). If your project is in a different language, use the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md). For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below. For more details, see Apify documentation as [Markdown index](https://docs.apify.com/llms.txt) and [Markdown full-text](https://docs.apify.com/llms-full.txt). # README ## Website Contact Extractor — Emails, Phones, Socials Give it a list of company domains. Get back a clean, **unmasked** contact record per site: email addresses, phone numbers, and social profile links — plus the pages each was found on. No API key. No upgrade wall. The full result is in your dataset. ### What it does For each domain you pass in, the actor: 1. **Fetches the homepage** through an Apify proxy (RESIDENTIAL by default) using browser-grade TLS, so sites serve it like a normal visitor. 2. **Discovers contact-bearing pages** — `/contact`, `/about`, `/team`, `/imprint`, `/impressum`, `/legal`, and their localized variants — and crawls a few of them. 3. **Extracts and de-duplicates** across all crawled pages: - **Emails** — from `mailto:` links and page text, including **de-obfuscated** forms like `name [at] domain [dot] com`, `info(at)company.io`, HTML-entity tricks. - **Phones** — from `tel:` links and text, normalized and validated (7–15 digits, E.164). - **Socials** — first profile URL per network: LinkedIn, X/Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, GitHub, TikTok. 4. **Verifies emails (optional)** — looks up each email domain's MX records and flags **disposable** and **role** (info@, sales@, …) addresses, so you can prioritize. One record is produced — and one charge is made — only for sites where at least one contact was found. ### Why this one Many "website email finder" actors **mask the output** behind a "this is a sample, upgrade your plan to see the rest" wall. This actor returns **everything it finds, unmasked**, in your own dataset — and adds the verification layer (MX + disposable/role flags + email de-obfuscation) that the freemium-bait tools skip. ### Input | Field | Type | Default | Description | |---|---|---|---| | `domains` | array of strings | — | Domains or URLs (e.g. `stripe.com`, `https://shopify.com`). **Required.** | | `maxPagesPerSite` | integer | `4` | Homepage + up to N-1 discovered contact pages. | | `verifyEmails` | boolean | `true` | MX-verify emails + flag disposable/role. | | `proxyConfiguration` | object | RESIDENTIAL | Apify Proxy used to reach sites. | | `maxItems` | integer | `0` | Cap total site records (0 = no limit). | #### Example input ```json { "domains": ["stripe.com", "basecamp.com", "ghost.org"], "maxPagesPerSite": 4, "verifyEmails": true, "proxyConfiguration": { "useApifyProxy": true, "apifyProxyGroups": ["RESIDENTIAL"] } } ```` ### Output One record per site that yielded contacts: ```json { "domain": "basecamp.com", "emails": ["support@basecamp.com", "press@basecamp.com"], "emailsVerified": [ { "email": "support@basecamp.com", "mxFound": true, "mxHost": "aspmx.l.google.com", "isDisposable": false, "isRoleAccount": true } ], "phones": ["+13125551234"], "socials": { "linkedin": "https://www.linkedin.com/company/basecamp", "twitter": "https://twitter.com/basecamp" }, "emailCount": 2, "phoneCount": 1, "sourcePages": ["https://basecamp.com", "https://basecamp.com/about"], "scrapedAt": "2026-06-13T12:00:00Z" } ``` ### Pricing Pay-per-result: you are charged once per site that returns at least one contact. Sites with no contacts found are **not** charged. The buyer's Apify account pays for proxy + compute. ### Notes - The actor never touches a site from a bare IP — every request is proxied. - MX verification is a $0, no-key signal. Live SMTP mailbox probing is intentionally not performed (cloud egress commonly blocks port 25); MX presence + disposable/role flags are the reliable signal that travels. # Actor input Schema ## `domains` (type: `array`): List of company domains or website URLs to extract contacts from (e.g. 'stripe.com' or 'https://www.shopify.com'). One record per site is returned. ## `maxPagesPerSite` (type: `integer`): How many pages to crawl per site: the homepage plus up to (N-1) discovered contact/about/imprint pages. Higher = more coverage, more compute. Default: 4. ## `verifyEmails` (type: `boolean`): Look up each email domain's MX records and flag disposable/role addresses. Adds an MX presence + mail-host signal per email. Default: true. ## `proxyConfiguration` (type: `object`): Apify Proxy used to reach target sites. RESIDENTIAL is recommended for reliable access. The buyer's Apify account pays for proxy + compute. ## `maxItems` (type: `integer`): Maximum total site records to output. 0 = no limit. Useful for cost control. Default: 0. ## Actor input object example ```json { "domains": [ "stripe.com", "basecamp.com", "ghost.org" ], "maxPagesPerSite": 4, "verifyEmails": true, "proxyConfiguration": { "useApifyProxy": true, "apifyProxyGroups": [ "RESIDENTIAL" ] }, "maxItems": 0 } ``` # Actor output Schema ## `results` (type: `string`): Dataset of contact records (domain, emails, emailsVerified, phones, socials, emailCount, phoneCount, sourcePages, scrapedAt). # API You can run this Actor programmatically using our API.
