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/docs.md): ```bash npm install apify-client ``` In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.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/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 Scraper **Turn a list of domains into a clean contact database — emails, phones, and social profiles.** Feed this Actor a list of company websites and it returns structured contact details for each: **business email addresses, phone numbers, and social-media profile links** (LinkedIn, X/Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, TikTok, GitHub). Built for **sales prospecting, lead generation, and market research**. ### What it does - 📧 **Emails** — from `mailto:` links, page text, and even **Cloudflare-obfuscated** addresses. - 📞 **Phone numbers** — from `tel:` links and page content. - 🔗 **Social profiles** — canonical links to the company's social accounts. - 📄 **Smart page coverage** — scans the homepage plus common `/contact`, `/about`, `/impressum` pages. - ⚡ **HTTP-only & fast** — no headless browser, so it's cheap and quick even for large lists. ### Input | Field | Type | Description | |-------|------|-------------| | `startUrls` | array | Domains or URLs to scrape. | | `url` | string | Convenience field for a single domain. | | `scanContactPages` | boolean | Also scan `/contact`, `/about`, etc. Default `true`. | | `maxPagesPerSite` | integer | Max pages fetched per domain (1–9). Default `4`. | #### Example input ```json { "startUrls": ["apify.com", "https://crawlee.dev"], "scanContactPages": true, "maxPagesPerSite": 4 } ```` ### Output One record per domain: ```json { "domain": "apify.com", "url": "https://apify.com", "emails": ["hello@apify.com"], "phones": ["+420123456789"], "socials": { "linkedin": "https://linkedin.com/company/apify", "twitter": "https://twitter.com/apify" }, "pagesScanned": 4, "hasContact": true } ``` Export as **JSON, CSV, Excel**, or pull via the Apify API into your CRM. ### Pricing Billed **per domain where at least one contact detail is found** (`contact-found` event). Domains that yield no contacts are effectively free — you only pay for real leads. ### Responsible use - Identifies itself with a clear User-Agent and only fetches publicly available pages. - Intended for **B2B business-contact discovery**. You are responsible for complying with applicable laws (GDPR, CAN-SPAM, etc.) and each site's Terms of Service when using the extracted data. # Actor input Schema ## `startUrls` (type: `array`): List of company websites or domains to extract contact details from. The Actor scans the homepage and common contact pages of each. ## `url` (type: `string`): Optional convenience field for a single domain. Use 'startUrls' for multiple. ## `scanContactPages` (type: `boolean`): In addition to the homepage, also fetch common pages like /contact, /about, /impressum where contact details usually live. ## `maxPagesPerSite` (type: `integer`): Upper bound on the number of pages fetched per domain (homepage counts as one). Keeps runs fast and cheap. ## Actor input object example ```json { "startUrls": [ "example.com", "https://another-company.com" ], "scanContactPages": true, "maxPagesPerSite": 4 } ``` # Actor output Schema ## `results` (type: `string`): No description # API You can run this Actor programmatically using our API. Below are code examples in JavaScript, Python, and CLI, as well as the OpenAPI specification and MCP server setup. ## JavaScript example ```javascript import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client'; // Initialize the ApifyClient with your Apify API token // Replace the '' with your token const client = new ApifyClient({ token: '', }); // Prepare Actor input const input = { "startUrls": [ "https://apify.com" ] }; // Run the Actor and wait for it to finish const run = await client.actor("cool_ya/website-contact-scraper").call(input); // Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if any) console.log('Results from dataset'); console.log(`💾 Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/${run.defaultDatasetId}`); const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems(); items.forEach((item) => { console.dir(item); }); // 📚 Want to learn more 📖?
