## What's an Apify Actor?

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

### What does CompanyEnrich Reverse Email Lookup do?

**CompanyEnrich Reverse Email Lookup** resolves professional profiles by email address. Enter one email or a list of emails, and the Actor returns matched profile data, current company details, credit metadata, and the full CompanyEnrich person object.

The Actor is built for users who want reverse email enrichment through Apify schedules, datasets, webhooks, integrations, and no-code automations. Users run the Actor with email inputs only.

### Why use CompanyEnrich Reverse Email Lookup?

Use this Actor for form enrichment, CRM completion, lead routing, account qualification, fraud or suspicious-domain checks, and workflows that start from a known work email address.

CompanyEnrich is an API-first B2B data platform for platforms, AI agents, RevOps teams, and GTM workflows. Reverse email lookup resolves the company from the email domain and returns the best deterministic person match when found.

### How to use CompanyEnrich Reverse Email Lookup

1. Open the Actor in Apify Console.
2. Enter one email in `email`, or add multiple emails in `emails`.
3. Click **Start**.
4. Download results from the default dataset as JSON, CSV, Excel, HTML, or through the Apify API.

### Input

| Field                | Type         | Description                                                                                |
| -------------------- | ------------ | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| `email`              | string       | One email address to resolve.                                                              |
| `emails`             | string array | Optional list of additional email addresses.                                               |
| `requestTimeoutSecs` | integer      | Maximum time to wait for each CompanyEnrich API request. Default: `30`.                    |
| `maxRetries`         | integer      | Retry count for network errors, rate limits, and transient API errors. Default: `2`.       |
| `failOnError`        | boolean      | If enabled, the run fails after pushing error rows when any lookup fails. Default: `true`. |

Example input:

```json
{
    "email": "jane@example.com",
    "emails": ["john@example.com"]
}
````

### Output

The Actor writes one item per email to the default dataset. You can download the dataset in JSON, CSV, Excel, HTML, or access it through the Apify API.

Example successful dataset item:

```json
{
    "status": "success",
    "email": "jane@example.com",
    "httpStatus": 200,
    "name": "Jane Doe",
    "position": "VP Sales",
    "seniority": "vp",
    "department": "sales",
    "linkedinUrl": "https://www.linkedin.com/in/example",
    "country": "United States",
    "currentCompanyName": "Example Inc.",
    "currentCompanyDomain": "example.com",
    "creditCost": 5,
    "person": {
        "id": 123,
        "name": "Jane Doe"
    }
}
```

Example error dataset item:

```json
{
    "status": "error",
    "email": "missing@example.com",
    "httpStatus": 404,
    "errorMessage": "CompanyEnrich API returned HTTP 404 Not Found.",
    "errorBody": {
        "title": "Not Found"
    }
}
```

The default key-value store also contains an `OUTPUT` summary record with total emails, successful lookups, failed lookups, charged events, and failed emails.

### Pricing and usage

This Actor uses Apify pay-per-event pricing. One `reverse-email-lookup` event is charged for each email lookup when pay-per-event pricing is active. The final Apify cost depends on the number of emails you submit and the price shown in Apify Console.

CompanyEnrich documents `POST /people/lookup` as costing 5 credits per successful call.

### Tips and advanced options

- Use work emails when possible. CompanyEnrich resolves the company from the email domain first.
- Duplicate emails are removed after normalization.
- Keep `failOnError` enabled if failed lookups should fail automation workflows.
- Disable `failOnError` if you prefer completed runs with error rows in the dataset.
- Use Apify schedules, webhooks, integrations, and API access to connect lookup results to downstream workflows.

### FAQ, disclaimers, and support

**Does this Actor scrape websites?**\
No. It calls the CompanyEnrich REST API and stores the API response in Apify datasets.

**Where can I get help?**\
Use the Actor Issues tab in Apify Console for bugs, field requests, or integration questions.
