📧 Smart Email Discovery

The Actor searches for contact emails across the most useful parts of a website:

• Visible page content
• Header and footer sections
• Contact / Impressum / Imprint sections
• mailto: links
• JSON-LD structured data
• Website metadata and attributes
• Embedded page data
• Inline scripts and hydration state
• Common encoded and obfuscated email formats
• Cloudflare email-protection tokens

🛡️ Built-in Filtering

The scraper reduces irrelevant results including:

• ❌ Invalid email addresses
• ❌ Duplicate emails
• ❌ Placeholder addresses
• ❌ noreply / automated addresses
• ❌ CDN and asset domain emails
• ❌ Framework and library artifacts
• ❌ Analytics and tracking addresses
• ❌ Common third-party infrastructure emails
• ❌ Unrelated external-domain emails

The goal is useful business contacts instead of raw email noise.

🌐 Official Social Profiles

The Actor searches links, metadata, structured data, and embedded page state to identify official social profiles.

It filters common low-value social URLs such as:

• Share links
• Posts, reels, and stories
• Videos and clips
• Search and explore pages
• Login and settings pages
• Help, developer, and legal pages

The best matching canonical profile for each supported platform is returned.

---

📄 Contact Page Discovery

The Actor automatically identifies and prioritizes high-value contact pages such as:

/contact
/contact-us
/contactus
/kontakt
/impressum
/imprint
/get-in-touch
/reach-us
/about
/about-us
/support
/help

It does not crawl entire websites.

By default, 1 additional contact page is checked per domain beyond the homepage. This covers the majority of websites efficiently.

You can increase this up to 3 using maxContactPages if needed.

❓ FAQ

Does it crawl the entire website?

No. It fetches the homepage and optionally up to 1–3 high-value contact pages per domain. No full site crawl.

Can I do homepage-only scraping?

Yes. Set maxContactPages to 0:

{ "maxContactPages": 0 }

How fast is it?

Very fast. 1000 URLs typically complete in under 2 minutes at default concurrency using the pure HTTP engine.

Does it return duplicate emails?

No. All emails are deduplicated before output.

Does it work on JavaScript-heavy sites?

Yes, for embedded data. The Actor extracts emails and socials from inline scripts, hydration state (__NEXT_DATA__, __NUXT__, etc.), and JSON-LD without needing a browser.

Does it handle Cloudflare-protected emails?

Yes. It decodes Cloudflare email-protection tokens automatically.

Are social links filtered?

Yes. Only canonical profile URLs are returned — not posts, shares, reels, or other low-value social URLs.
