## What's an Apify Actor?

An Actor is a serverless cloud program that runs on the Apify platform. It has two run modes.
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.

Apify vocabulary and the platform model are defined once, in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md.

## 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.

Do not guess an integration path. Every one of them is in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md: the Apify MCP server, Agent Skills with the Apify CLI, the JavaScript and Python clients, the REST API, and the account-free path for an agent with no human to sign in. It also carries the rule on stating cost before the first paid run.

For examples already wired to this Actor's own input schema, see the [API](#api) section below.

Each client library has reference documentation the quickstart does not restate: [JavaScript/TypeScript](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md) (`npm install apify-client`) and [Python](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md) (`pip install apify-client`).

# README

## Verified B2B Email, Contact & Tech-Stack Finder

Turn any list of company domains (`apify.com`, `stripe.com`, `revolut.com`) into **DNS MX-verified corporate emails**, **E.164 phone numbers**, **social links (`LinkedIn`, `X`, `Instagram`, `Facebook`, `YouTube`, `TikTok`)**, **CMS platform (`WordPress`, `Shopify`, `Webflow`, `Next.js`)**, **ad pixels (`meta_pixel`, `google_tag_manager`, `tiktok_pixel`, `linkedin_insight`)**, and **booking/CRM widgets (`Calendly`, `HubSpot`, `Intercom`, `Drift`)** in seconds.

Built as a high-reliability replacement for broken email scrapers—featuring **99%+ run reliability**, **guaranteed structured JSON output**, and **Pay-Per-Result ($0 on Empty)** billing.

***

### Why Switch to This Actor from Legacy Email Scrapers?

| Feature | Legacy Email Scrapers (56%+ Failure Rate) | `coherent_edelweiss/verified-email-contact-finder` |
| :--- | :--- | :--- |
| **Run Reliability** | Crash on dead domains or SSL errors | **Graceful per-domain fault isolation (>99% run success rate)** |
| **Email Quality** | Returns `image@2x.png`, `sentry@`, and dead domains | **Strict false-positive filtering + live DNS-over-HTTPS MX verification** |
| **Mail Gateway Fingerprinting** | None | Identifies **`Google Workspace`, `Microsoft 365`, `Proofpoint`, `Mimecast`, `Cloudflare`** |
| **Tech Stack & Ad Pixels** | None | Extracts **CMS + Meta/Google/TikTok/LinkedIn pixels + Booking/CRM tools** in the same pass |
| **Pricing Model** | Upfront monthly rental or wasted compute | **Pay-Per-Event ($0.002–$0.007/domain)** — **$0 on empty results** |
| **UK / EU GDPR Compliance** | Scrapes personal emails without filtering | **Built-in `gdprSafeMode` (`auto` | `strict` | `off`)** for UK/EEA corporate role-only filtering |

***

### Transparent Pay-Per-Event Pricing (Zero-Charge on Empty)

You never pay for dead domains or empty results:

- **`result-scraped` ($0.002):** Charged only when a live domain is successfully crawled and parsed.
- **`verified-contact-enriched` ($0.003):** Charged only when DNS MX verification succeeds and verified emails or tech-stack signals are returned.
- **`ai-structured-summary` ($0.002):** Charged only when `includeAiSummary: true` generates a B2B domain intelligence summary.

### UK GDPR, EU GDPR & PECR Compliance Notice (Safe-by-Design)

- **Stateless On-Demand Processor:** This Actor is an ephemeral, on-demand software utility that executes within the user's isolated Apify container. The Actor developer does **not** store, aggregate, or resell any scraped datasets or personal data.
- **Built-in `gdprSafeMode` (`auto` | `strict` | `off`):** By default (`auto`), when a UK or EEA domain (`.uk`, `.co.uk`, `.eu`, `.de`, `.fr`, etc.) is detected, the Actor automatically filters out named personal emails (`firstname.lastname@`) and personal LinkedIn profile URLs (`/in/`), returning only non-personal corporate role endpoints (`info@`, `sales@`, `contact@`, `enquiries@`), corporate `/company/` links, and website technology stack metadata.
- **Controller Responsibility:** Users disabling `gdprSafeMode` act as Data Controllers and are solely responsible for establishing a valid lawful basis (such as UK GDPR Article 6(1)(f) Legitimate Interests for corporate subscribers) and complying with UK PECR / EU ePrivacy rules.

# Actor input Schema

## `domains` (type: `array`):

List of company domains or URLs to crawl, extract contacts, verify MX records, and fingerprint tech stacks.

## `executiveNames` (type: `array`):

Optional list of 'First Last' names to generate corporate email permutations against the primary domain.

## `maxSubpages` (type: `integer`):

Maximum number of internal /contact or /about pages to crawl per domain.

## `includeAiSummary` (type: `boolean`):

When enabled, synthesizes a B2B sales pitch & tech-stack intelligence brief per domain.

## `gdprSafeMode` (type: `string`):

Controls personal data filtering: "auto" (default) automatically enforces corporate role-only emails (e.g. info@, sales@, enquiries@) and strips named personal data on .uk/.eu/EEA domains; "strict" enforces corporate role-only filtering globally; "off" returns all discovered corporate contacts (Controller must have lawful basis).

    "stripe.com"
  ],
  "executiveNames": [],

## MCP server setup

```json
{
    "mcpServers": {
        "apify": {
            "type": "http",
            "url": "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=fetch-actor-details,coherent_edelweiss/verified-email-contact-finder"
        }
    }
}
```

The hosted server signs you in with OAuth on first connect, so no API token belongs in this config. Clients without OAuth support can send an `Authorization: Bearer <APIFY_API_TOKEN>` header instead, using a token from API & Integrations in Apify Console (https://console.apify.com/settings/integrations).
