# Website Contact Finder (`crawlerbros/website-contact-finder`) Actor Crawl any website and extract emails, phone numbers, and social media profiles. Smart prioritisation of /contact, /about, /team pages. HTTP-only, no browser. - **URL**: https://apify.com/crawlerbros/website-contact-finder.md - **Developed by:** [Crawler Bros](https://apify.com/crawlerbros) (community) - **Categories:** Lead generation, SEO tools, Other - **Stats:** 1 total users, 0 monthly users, 100.0% runs succeeded, 8 bookmarks - **User rating**: 5.00 out of 5 stars ## Pricing from $1.00 / 1,000 results This Actor is paid per event and usage. You are charged both the fixed price for specific events and for Apify platform usage. Since this Actor supports Apify Store discounts, the price gets lower the higher subscription plan you have.

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 ## Website Contact Finder Crawl any website and extract **emails**, **phone numbers**, and **social media profiles** (Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, Twitter/X, YouTube, TikTok, GitHub, Pinterest). HTTP-only — no browser, no login. ### What this actor extracts - `websiteUrl` — normalised URL - `emails` — unique list (placeholder / noreply / blacklisted domains filtered) - `phones` — unique list (international-format filtered for noise) - `socialLinks` — object with the first profile URL per platform - `contactPageUrl` — direct link to the discovered contact page (if any) - `pagesCrawled` — number of pages fetched - `crawledAt` — ISO timestamp ### Input | Field | Type | Description | |---|---|---| | `urls` | string[] | Sites to scan. Required. | | `maxPagesPerSite` | integer | 1–200 (default 20). | | `maxConcurrency` | integer | 1–20 parallel page fetches (default 5). | | `requestTimeoutSecs` | integer | 5–60 per-page timeout (default 15). | | `useProxy` | boolean | Toggle Apify RESIDENTIAL proxy for sites that block datacenter IPs. Default off. | | `smartPrioritise` | boolean | Crawl `/contact`, `/about`, `/team` first. Default on. | ### How it works 1. Normalise each URL (`https://` prefix if missing). 2. Fetch the homepage via `curl_cffi` (Chrome-131 TLS fingerprint). 3. Extract `mailto:` + `tel:` + plain-text emails/phones + social-profile links. 4. Discover internal links; prioritise contact/about/team pages. 5. Continue fetching up to `maxPagesPerSite`, gathering data from each page. 6. Return one record per input URL with deduplicated results. ### Filters and quality - Emails: blacklists placeholder domains (`example.com`, `yoursite.com`, etc.), known noreply locals, and file-like extensions (`.png@x2`, `.jpg`…). - Phones: requires 7–20 digits, prefers international format. - Socials: drops platform homepages, sharer links, and intent URLs. ### FAQ **Do I need a proxy?** No — leave `useProxy=false`. Enable only for sites that serve 403 to datacenter IPs. **Does it render JavaScript?** No — pure HTTP. Extract target info from server-rendered HTML / mailto-tel links. # Actor input Schema ## `urls` (type: `array`): List of website URLs to scan for contact info. ## `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. ## Actor input object example ```json { "urls": [ "https://apify.com" ], "maxPagesPerSite": 5, "maxConcurrency": 5, "requestTimeoutSecs": 15, "useProxy": false, "smartPrioritise": true } ```` # 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 = { "urls": [ "https://apify.com" ], "maxPagesPerSite": 5 }; // Run the Actor and wait for it to finish const run = await client.actor("crawlerbros/website-contact-finder").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 📖?
