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 ## Contact Info Scraper Pro Crawl websites and extract emails, phone numbers, and social media profiles. The actor is HTTP-first and works well on server-rendered pages, static sites, and contact pages that expose data directly in HTML. ### What this actor extracts Per-domain record with: - `websiteUrl` - normalized start URL - `domain` - extracted hostname - `emails` - unique list of cleaned emails - `phones` - unique list of cleaned phone numbers - `socialLinks` - first discovered profile URL per supported platform - `contactPageUrl` - direct contact-page link when discovered - `pagesCrawled` - `crawledAt` Supported social platforms include Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, X/Twitter, YouTube, TikTok, Pinterest, GitHub, Threads, Telegram, Discord, Mastodon, WhatsApp, and Reddit. ### Input | Field | Type | Default | Description | |---|---|---|---| | `urls` | string[] | `["https://apify.com"]` | Websites to scan. Empty-input cloud runs use this default. | | `maxPagesPerSite` | integer | `20` | Max pages to crawl per domain. | | `maxConcurrency` | integer | `5` | Parallel fetches per site. | | `requestTimeoutSecs` | integer | `15` | HTTP timeout per page. | | `useProxy` | boolean | `false` | Enable Apify proxy for sites that block datacenter IPs. | | `smartPrioritise` | boolean | `true` | Visit likely contact/about/team pages first. | | `maxDepth` | integer | `2` | Maximum link depth from the start URL. | | `domainAllowlist` | array | `[]` | Pro filter: only crawl matching hosts. | | `domainBlocklist` | array | `[]` | Pro filter: skip matching hosts. | | `excludeRolePrefixes` | array | `[]` | Pro filter: drop emails whose local part starts with any of these prefixes. | | `requireFirstAndLastName` | boolean | `false` | Pro filter: keep only personal-looking dotted names such as `jane.doe@example.com`. | | `outputDedupBy` | enum | `domain` | Pro dedup mode: `domain`, `email`, or `none`. | #### Example input ```json { "urls": ["https://example.com", "https://another.com"], "maxPagesPerSite": 10, "smartPrioritise": true, "excludeRolePrefixes": ["info", "support", "hello"], "requireFirstAndLastName": true, "outputDedupBy": "email" } ```` ### Output One record per domain by default, or one record per email when `outputDedupBy=email`. ```json { "recordType": "contact_domain", "websiteUrl": "https://example.com", "domain": "example.com", "emails": ["jane.doe@example.com", "john.smith@example.com"], "phones": ["+1 (555) 867-5309"], "socialLinks": { "linkedin": "https://www.linkedin.com/company/example", "twitter": "https://x.com/example", "instagram": "https://www.instagram.com/example" }, "contactPageUrl": "https://example.com/contact", "pagesCrawled": 7, "crawledAt": "2026-04-30T14:00:00Z" } ``` Empty fields are omitted. `recordType` is `contact_domain` for per-domain output and `contact_email` for per-email output. ### Reliability notes - No browser is required for the standard flow. - The actor extracts emails from visible text, `mailto:` links, Cloudflare `data-cfemail`, and simple `[at]` / `[dot]` obfuscation. - Placeholder values from form fields are intentionally ignored. - If every discovered value is filtered out, the actor still finishes cleanly and sets a status message instead of pushing placeholder error rows. ### FAQ **Do I need a proxy?**\ Usually no. Enable `useProxy` for sites that return 403 or otherwise block cloud IPs. **Does it render JavaScript?**\ Not in the HTTP-first path. It works best on pages that expose contact data directly in HTML. **Why are some emails missing?**\ Some sites only reveal them after client-side rendering, login, or anti-bot challenges. Increasing crawl depth can help for multi-page sites, but JS-only contact data may still stay hidden. **What does `requireFirstAndLastName` do?**\ It keeps dotted personal-style addresses like `jane.doe@company.com` and drops generic role addresses such as `info@`, `hello@`, or `support@`. **What happens when emails are filtered out?**\ The actor can still emit phones, socials, and `contactPageUrl`. Fields with no data are omitted. # Actor input Schema ## `urls` (type: `array`): List of website URLs to scan for contact info. Each URL is treated as a domain root. ## `maxPagesPerSite` (type: `integer`): Maximum pages to crawl per domain (contact + about + homepage + linked pages). ## `maxConcurrency` (type: `integer`): Parallel fetches per site. ## `requestTimeoutSecs` (type: `integer`): HTTP timeout per page in seconds. ## `useProxy` (type: `boolean`): Enable Apify residential proxy when a site blocks datacenter IPs. ## `smartPrioritise` (type: `boolean`): Visit /contact, /about, /team pages first before crawling general links. ## `maxDepth` (type: `integer`): Maximum link-graph depth from a start URL. 0 = only the start URL; 1 = pages it links to. ## `domainAllowlist` (type: `array`): Only crawl pages whose host matches one of these domains (case-insensitive substring). e.g. \['example.com']. ## `domainBlocklist` (type: `array`): Skip pages whose host matches one of these domains. e.g. \['google.com','facebook.com']. ## `excludeRolePrefixes` (type: `array`): Drop emails starting with these local-parts (case-insensitive). e.g. \['info','support','noreply','admin']. ## `requireFirstAndLastName` (type: `boolean`): Only emit emails whose local-part looks like `first.last` or `firstlast` (drops generic role addresses). ## `outputDedupBy` (type: `string`): How to dedupe emitted records. `domain` (one record per domain), `email` (one record per unique email), `none` (no dedup). ## Actor input object example ```json { "urls": [ "https://apify.com" ], "maxPagesPerSite": 20, "maxConcurrency": 5, "requestTimeoutSecs": 15, "useProxy": false, "smartPrioritise": true, "maxDepth": 2, "domainAllowlist": [], "domainBlocklist": [], "excludeRolePrefixes": [], "requireFirstAndLastName": false, "outputDedupBy": "domain" } ``` # API You can run this Actor programmatically using our API.
