Website Email & Contact Extractor

Extract emails, phone numbers and social profile links from any list of websites — built for B2B lead generation, sales prospecting and CRM enrichment. Handles redirects, prioritises contact pages, decodes obfuscated and Cloudflare-protected emails, and returns one clean JSON row per website.

Why this Actor

A spreadsheet full of company domains is worth little until you know who to call and where to write. This Actor turns a raw domain list into a ready-to-import contact sheet: verified inboxes, phone numbers, and the LinkedIn/Facebook/Twitter profiles of the companies you want to reach. No proxy configuration, no API keys, no login — give it URLs, get structured contacts back.

What it does

For every website you provide, the Actor:

1. Crawls the homepage, then prioritises contact, about, team, support, impressum and legal pages (up to maxPagesPerSite pages, same domain only).
2. Extracts email addresses from plain text, mailto: links, common obfuscations (name [at] domain [dot] com) and Cloudflare-protected emails (data-cfemail decoding).
3. Extracts phone numbers from tel: links plus international (+40 …) and US ((555) 123-4567) text formats.
4. Extracts social profile links — Facebook, Twitter/X, Instagram, LinkedIn, YouTube, TikTok, GitHub — with per-platform columns for easy spreadsheet export.
5. Outputs one structured JSON item per website, with junk emails (image filenames, placeholders, no-reply) filtered out.

Input

{
  "websites": ["https://example.com", "another-site.com"],
  "maxPagesPerSite": 10,
  "includeSocialLinks": true
}

Option	Description
websites	List of website URLs or bare domains (required).
maxPagesPerSite	Max pages to crawl per site (default 10, max 50). Contact/about/team pages are visited first.
includeSocialLinks	Whether to extract social profile links (default true).

Output (one item per website)

{
  "url": "https://example.com",
  "domain": "example.com",
  "pagesCrawled": 10,
  "emails": ["hello@example.com", "sales@example.com"],
  "phones": ["+1 (555) 123-4567"],
  "contactPages": ["https://example.com/contact"],
  "linkedin": "https://linkedin.com/company/example",
  "facebook": "https://facebook.com/example",
  "socialLinks": ["https://facebook.com/example", "https://linkedin.com/company/example"]
}

Export to JSON, CSV or Excel in the Apify console, or pull the dataset with the API. One row per website — the per-platform social columns (linkedin, facebook, twitter, instagram, youtube, tiktok, github) drop straight into a CRM import template.

Use cases in detail

• B2B lead generation — turn a list of company domains (from a directory, a competitor's customer page, or a Google Sheets export) into a ready-to-import contact list.
• CRM enrichment — fill missing email/phone/social columns for accounts you already track; run it nightly on new sign-ups.
• Outreach prep — find the correct contact/impressum page and the right inbox before a cold campaign, instead of guessing info@.
• Directory & dataset building — enrich business listings, marketplace vendors or conference exhibitor lists with verified contact channels.
• Recruiting & partnerships — pull team-page and social links to reach the right person directly.

Run on a schedule or via API

Point an Apify Schedule at a fresh batch of domains each day, or trigger the Actor from your own backend and read the results straight into your CRM:

curl -X POST "https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/darknezz~website-contact-extractor/runs?token=YOUR_TOKEN" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"websites":["https://astral.sh","https://www.python.org"],"maxPagesPerSite":10}'

From Python:

from apify_client import ApifyClient

client = ApifyClient("YOUR_TOKEN")
run = client.actor("darknezz~website-contact-extractor").call(
    run_input={"websites": ["https://astral.sh", "https://www.python.org"], "maxPagesPerSite": 10},
)
for item in client.dataset(run["defaultDatasetId"]).iterate_items():
    print(item["domain"], item["emails"])

Each run's dataset exports cleanly to JSON, CSV or Excel — one row per website with per-platform social columns for spreadsheet use.

Pricing

Pay per event: you are charged once per website processed, regardless of how many pages are crawled or contacts found — so cost scales with your input list, not the site's size.

FAQ

Does it work on JavaScript-heavy sites? Contacts rendered server-side (the vast majority) are found, including Cloudflare-obfuscated emails. Contacts injected purely client-side after render are not.

How many pages per site does it crawl? Up to maxPagesPerSite (default 10, max 50), and it visits contact/about/team/support/impressum/legal pages first so the useful data is found early.

Does it need a proxy or API key? No — it crawls the sites you provide directly, no proxy or credentials required.

How do you avoid junk emails? Image filenames, placeholder addresses (example.com, yourdomain) and common no-reply inboxes are filtered out before output.

What if a site is down or times out? The item is still returned with an error field describing what happened, so a partial run never silently drops rows.

Can I crawl more than 50 pages per site? Not currently — contact data virtually always lives on the first few pages, so the cap keeps runs fast and cheap. Raise a GitHub issue if you need a higher ceiling.

Is scraping contact data legal? The Actor only reads publicly displayed information. You are responsible for complying with GDPR/CAN-SPAM when using extracted data for outreach.
