## Pricing

from $16.00 / 1,000 websites with emails

This Actor is paid per event. You are not charged for the Apify platform usage, but only a fixed price for specific events.
Since this Actor supports Apify Store discounts, the price gets lower the higher subscription plan you have.

## What's an Apify Actor?

An Actor is a serverless cloud program that runs on the Apify platform. It has two run modes.
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.

Apify vocabulary and the platform model are defined once, in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md.

## 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.

Do not guess an integration path. Every one of them is in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md: the Apify MCP server, Agent Skills with the Apify CLI, the JavaScript and Python clients, the REST API, and the account-free path for an agent with no human to sign in. It also carries the rule on stating cost before the first paid run.

For examples already wired to this Actor's own input schema, see the [API](#api) section below.

Each client library has reference documentation the quickstart does not restate: [JavaScript/TypeScript](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md) (`npm install apify-client`) and [Python](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md) (`pip install apify-client`).

# README

## Email Finder: Website Email & Phone Extractor

Give it a list of company websites. It returns the contact emails and phone numbers each site
publishes, and the page where each email was found. Useful for lead lists, local-business
outreach, supplier directories and CRM enrichment.

### What it does

For every website it:

1. Loads the homepage plus `/contact`, `/contact-us` and `/about`.
2. Follows the site's own links (3 at most, same domain) whose address or text mentions
   **contact, about, team, impressum or support** (turn off with `followContactLinks: false`).
3. Collects emails from `mailto:` links, visible text and embedded page data.
4. Removes junk: image/asset names, tracking addresses (Sentry, Wix), placeholder emails, and
   emails on other domains unless the site's own contact page links to them.
5. Collects `tel:` phone numbers and drops truncated ones (a US/Canada number needs 10 digits,
   an international `+` number needs 8).

No login, no browser, no proxy. Plain page fetches, so runs are fast and cheap.

### Input

```json
{
  "urls": ["https://www.stumptowncoffee.com", "katzsdelicatessen.com"],
  "followContactLinks": true,
  "maxContactLinks": 3
}
```

Every field has a default, so an empty input `{}` runs a one-site example.

### Output

One item per website:

```json
{
  "url": "https://www.stumptowncoffee.com",
  "domain": "stumptowncoffee.com",
  "found": true,
  "emails": ["info@stumptowncoffee.com"],
  "emailSources": { "info@stumptowncoffee.com": "https://www.stumptowncoffee.com/" },
  "phones": [],
  "followedLinks": ["https://www.stumptowncoffee.com/pages/contact"],
  "statuses": { "/": 200, "/contact": 404, "/contact-us": 404, "/about": 200 }
}
```

Download as JSON, CSV or Excel from the run's dataset.

### Use it from code, n8n, Make or an AI agent

- **API:** `POST https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/eliai~website-email-phone-finder/run-sync-get-dataset-items?token=YOUR_TOKEN`
  with the input above as the JSON body returns the rows directly.
- **No-code:** the Apify integrations for n8n, Make and Zapier run it as one step and hand the rows
  to your CRM or sheet.
- **AI agents:** Apify's MCP server (`https://mcp.apify.com`) exposes this Actor as a tool, so an
  agent can look up a company's contact email mid-task.

### Pricing

**$0.02 per website with emails.** A website where no email is found costs nothing, and a site
with five emails costs the same as a site with one.

### Limits

- Sites that block data-center traffic (HTTP 403 on every page) return no emails. `statuses`
  shows this per page so you can tell a block from a site with no public email.
- Only emails the website publishes are returned. It does not guess addresses or look them up in
  third-party databases.
- Pages that build their content entirely in the browser after load may show fewer results.

### FAQ

**Does it verify the emails?** No, it reports what the site publishes. Pair it with an email
validator if you need deliverability checks.

**Can I pass bare domains?** Yes. `example.com` is treated as `https://example.com`.

# Actor input Schema

## `urls` (type: `array`):

Company or small-business websites to scan for contact emails and phone numbers. A bare domain like stumptowncoffee.com works too.

## `followContactLinks` (type: `boolean`):

Also open up to N same-site links from the homepage whose address or text mentions contact, about, team, impressum or support.

## `maxContactLinks` (type: `integer`):

How many contact-like links to follow per website (0-10).

## Actor input object example

```json
{
  "urls": [
    "https://www.stumptowncoffee.com",
    "https://www.katzsdelicatessen.com"
  ],
  "followContactLinks": true,
  "maxContactLinks": 3
}
```

# Actor output Schema

## `results` (type: `string`):

One item per website: emails, phones, where each email was found.

## `resultsCsv` (type: `string`):

The same items as a spreadsheet-ready CSV.

# 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 '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>' with your token
const client = new ApifyClient({
    token: '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>',
});

// Prepare Actor input
const input = {
    "urls": [
        "https://www.stumptowncoffee.com",
        "https://www.katzsdelicatessen.com"
    ]
};

// Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
const run = await client.actor("eliai/website-email-phone-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);
});

## Python example

```python
from apify_client import ApifyClient

# Initialize the ApifyClient with your Apify API token
# Replace '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>' with your token.
client = ApifyClient("<YOUR_API_TOKEN>")

# Prepare the Actor input
run_input = { "urls": [
        "https://www.stumptowncoffee.com",
        "https://www.katzsdelicatessen.com",
    ] }

# Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
run = client.actor("eliai/website-email-phone-finder").call(run_input=run_input)

# Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if there are any)
print(f"💾 Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/{run.default_dataset_id}")
for item in client.dataset(run.default_dataset_id).iterate_items():
    print(item)

## CLI example

```bash
echo '{
  "urls": [
    "https://www.stumptowncoffee.com",
    "https://www.katzsdelicatessen.com"
  ]
}' |
apify call eliai/website-email-phone-finder --silent --output-dataset

```

## MCP server setup

```json
{
    "mcpServers": {
        "apify": {
            "type": "http",
            "url": "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=fetch-actor-details,eliai/website-email-phone-finder"
        }
    }
}
```

The hosted server signs you in with OAuth on first connect, so no API token belongs in this config. Clients without OAuth support can send an `Authorization: Bearer <APIFY_API_TOKEN>` header instead, using a token from API & Integrations in Apify Console (https://console.apify.com/settings/integrations).
