The Actor is free to use, and you only pay for the Apify platform usage, which gets cheaper the higher subscription plan you have.

They run on the Apify platform to scrape websites, process data, connect APIs, and automate workflows. 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/docs.md): ```bash npm install apify-client ``` In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.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/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 ## B2B Contact Finder — Verified Email & Phone (No Paid DB) Give a person's **name + company domain** → their most likely **professional email** (MX + holehe verified) and **phone numbers**. Pure OSINT, no LinkedIn cookies, **no paid people-database**. ### Why this one - ✅ **Verification built in**: MX check + holehe (which real services the email is registered on) → a confidence score, not a blind guess. - 🆓 **No paid people-DB**: works on free layers — site scrape (decodes Cloudflare-obfuscated emails), email-pattern inference, Wayback, **GitHub commit emails**, Bluesky, French public registries. - 🇫🇷 French-tuned: phone normalization (+33), registry lookups by NAF. - 🔌 **Serper optional**: add your own key for +30-40% reach (Google dorks); everything else runs free. ### Input ```json { "fullName": "Alexandre Prot", "companyDomain": "qonto.com", "company": "Qonto" } ```` Batch: pass `people: [{ "fullName": "...", "companyDomain": "..." }, ...]`. | Field | Description | |---|---| | `fullName` + `companyDomain` | The person and their company domain (required) | | `company`, `nafCode`, `linkedinUrl` | Optional, improve reach | | `people` | Batch list (overrides single fields) | | `useWayback`, `useHolehe` | Free layers, on by default | | `serperApiKey`, `githubToken`, `reacherUrl` | Optional keys for more reach / real SMTP checks | ### Output (one row per person) `email` (best), `email_confidence`, `email_status`, `emails_all[]`, `email_pattern`, `phones_personal[]`, `phones_organization[]`, `functional_emails[]`, `sources_consulted[]`. ### Notes - Best email ranking sharpens a lot with a Serper key + holehe on (pattern inference + cross-checks). Without them you still get the candidate list + MX check. - Real SMTP deliverability needs a self-hosted **Reacher** endpoint (`reacherUrl`); otherwise status is MX/holehe-based. - Respect privacy law (GDPR) and each source's terms. # Actor input Schema ## `fullName` (type: `string`): Person's full name, e.g. "Marie Dupont". (Single-person mode.) ## `companyDomain` (type: `string`): The company's domain or website, e.g. "qonto.com". (Single-person mode.) ## `company` (type: `string`): Optional. Improves dork queries and registry lookups. ## `nafCode` (type: `string`): Optional French NAF/APE code. Unlocks French public-registry lookups (RGE, Qualiopi, ...). ## `linkedinUrl` (type: `string`): Optional. Used for username pivots (never scraped with cookies). ## `people` (type: `array`): Batch mode: a list of {"fullName":"...","companyDomain":"...","company":"..."}. Overrides the single-person fields. ## `useWayback` (type: `boolean`): Harvest emails from archived /contact pages (free). ## `useHolehe` (type: `boolean`): Check which real services an email is registered on (free, adds confidence). ## `serperApiKey` (type: `string`): Optional serper.dev key. Enables Google dorks for +30-40% reach. Without it the free layers still run. ## `githubToken` (type: `string`): Optional. Raises GitHub API rate limits for commit-email mining. ## `reacherUrl` (type: `string`): Optional self-hosted Reacher endpoint for real SMTP deliverability checks. ## `maxCostUsd` (type: `string`): Optional hard cap on paid Serper spend per run. ## Actor input object example ```json { "fullName": "Alexandre Prot", "companyDomain": "qonto.com", "useWayback": true, "useHolehe": 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 = { "fullName": "Alexandre Prot", "companyDomain": "qonto.com" }; // Run the Actor and wait for it to finish const run = await client.actor("excellence_scraping/b2b-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 📖?
