Website Intelligence Extractor

What does Website Contact Extractor do?

Website Contact Extractor is an Apify Actor that automatically collects contact details, social media profiles, and company metadata from any website. Give it one or more start URLs and it will scan the homepage, discover Contact and About pages, and merge everything into a single structured JSON record per domain.

The Actor extracts emails, phone numbers, physical addresses, social links (Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, X, YouTube, TikTok, WhatsApp, Telegram, GitHub, and more), company name, logo, favicon, and Schema.org / JSON-LD structured data. It runs on the Apify platform with fast HTTP crawling (Crawlee + Cheerio), optional proxy rotation, API access, scheduling, and integrations with CRMs and spreadsheets.

Try it in Apify Console, call it via API, or run it locally with apify run.

Why use Website Contact Extractor?

• Lead generation — Build prospect lists with verified contact channels from company websites.
• CRM enrichment — Fill missing phone, email, and social fields in your existing records.
• Sales intelligence — Research companies before outreach with structured, machine-readable data.
• Marketing automation — Feed contact and social data into email tools, ad platforms, or enrichment pipelines.
• Directory building — Aggregate business contact information at scale from multiple domains.
• One record per domain — Multiple pages (homepage, Contact, About) are merged automatically so you get the fullest picture without duplicate rows.

How to use Website Contact Extractor

3. Set Max requests per crawl to at least 3 if you want Contact and About pages crawled (recommended: 5).

5. Click Start and wait for the run to finish.
6. Download results from the Output tab as JSON, CSV, Excel, or HTML.

Pricing / Cost estimation

This Actor uses CheerioCrawler (HTTP-only, no browser), which keeps compute costs low. A typical run with 5 pages per website uses a fraction of a compute unit.

Rough estimate: scraping 100 websites with 3 pages each on Apify's free tier is usually feasible for development and small batches. For large-scale production runs, monitor compute units in the Apify Console and adjust maxRequestsPerCrawl and maxConcurrency accordingly.

Tips and advanced options

• Set maxRequestsPerCrawl ≥ 3 — Homepage alone often misses contact details; Contact and About pages carry the richest data.
• Multiple start URLs — Add many domains in one run; each produces a separate output row.
• Disable followImportantPages — Use when you only need data from the exact URLs you provide.
• Use Apify Proxy — Enable proxy for geo-restricted or rate-limited sites.
• Phone filtering — Tracking IDs (Meta Pixel, analytics) are filtered out to reduce false positives.
• Email filtering — Placeholder and system addresses (noreply@, example.com) are excluded.
• JavaScript-heavy sites — Sites that render content entirely in the browser may need a Playwright-based Actor instead.

FAQ, disclaimers, and support

Is web scraping legal? Scraping publicly available contact information is common for B2B lead generation, but you are responsible for complying with applicable laws, website Terms of Service, and privacy regulations (GDPR, CAN-SPAM, etc.) in your jurisdiction.

Known limitations

• Static HTML only — JavaScript-rendered contact widgets may not be captured.
• Address detection works best with JSON-LD, <address> tags, or Turkish/English address patterns.
• Social share links (/sharer, /intent/tweet) are ignored in favor of profile URLs.

Support — Report bugs or request features via the Issues tab in Apify Console. Custom integrations and enterprise deployments are available on request.
