Domain Contact Scraper

Extract emails, phone numbers, WhatsApp links, and social media profiles from any website — with structured, domain-level output.

Looking for a reliable website contact details scraper?

This Apify Actor intelligently crawls websites to extract:

• 📧 Email addresses
• 📞 Phone numbers
• 💬 WhatsApp links
• 🔗 Social media profiles (LinkedIn, Facebook, Instagram, Twitter/X, and more)

Unlike generic email extractors that dump raw page data, this Actor performs priority-first crawling and returns one clean, consolidated result per domain, including crawl metadata for full transparency.

Built for developers, agencies, and automation pipelines that need predictable and structured contact discovery.

🔍 What This Contact Scraper Does

For each start URL:

1. Prioritizes high-value pages (contact, about, legal, multilingual equivalents)
2. Crawls within a controlled scope (hostname, domain, origin, or all links)
3. Extracts contact details
4. Aggregates all results in memory
5. Outputs exactly one structured result per domain

No fragmented per-page records. No messy datasets.

📦 Output Structure

Advanced Configuration

{
    "maxPagesPerStartUrl": 8,
    "maxDepth": 1,
    "enqueueStrategy": "same-hostname",
    "earlyStopMode": "balanced",
    "proxyConfigurationOptions": {
        "useApifyProxy": true
    },
    "startUrls": [{ "url": "https://apify.com" }]
}

Key Options Explained

• maxPagesPerStartUrl Limits pages visited per domain.

• maxDepth Controls how deep links are followed.

• enqueueStrategy Defines crawl scope:

  • same-hostname (default)
  • same-domain (includes subdomains)
  • same-origin
  • all

• earlyStopMode (optional)

  • off (default)
  • balanced
  • aggressive

Balanced and aggressive modes allow the crawl to stop once sufficient direct contact signals are discovered or when exploration becomes stale.

• proxyConfigurationOptions Optional proxy settings for improved reach.

🧠 Intelligent Priority-First Crawling

This is not a simple depth-first or breadth-first scraper.

The Actor:

• Scores links before enqueuing
• Prioritizes high-value contact pages
• Supports multilingual detection (contact, kontakt, contacto, contato, impressum, about, etc.)
• Uses adaptive early-stop logic (optional)

This results in faster, more disciplined contact discovery.
