Website Contact Extractor: Emails, Phones, Socials & Imprint

Give this Actor a list of company websites and it returns the public contact details of every site as one clean record: email addresses, phone numbers (normalized to E.164), social media profile links (LinkedIn, Facebook, Instagram, X/Twitter, YouTube, TikTok, Pinterest, GitHub, Xing), the contact pages it found, and, for German, Austrian and Swiss websites, the imprint (Impressum) data: legal company name, managing directors, VAT ID, commercial register number and court, and postal address.

It is built for sales and marketing teams, recruiters, agencies, researchers and anyone who needs a fast website contact scraper or email finder for a list of domains. It works with plain HTTP requests only (no headless browser), so runs are quick and cheap.

You pay only for websites where contacts were found. Websites with no email, phone or social profile are still returned with a status, at no charge.

The Actor respects robots.txt on every website it visits.

What data you get

One dataset item per website.

Field	Type	Description
inputUrl	string	The website exactly as you entered it
domain	string	Domain without www.
finalUrl	string	URL of the homepage after redirects
emails	string[]	Unique email addresses, lowercase. Addresses on the website's own domain come first
phones	object[]	Unique phone numbers as { "e164": "+4930123456", "raw": "030 123456" }
socials	object	Profile URLs per network: linkedin, facebook, instagram, twitter, youtube, tiktok, pinterest, github, xing (each an array)
contactPages	string[]	Contact, about, imprint, legal, team and support pages that were found and read
imprint	object or null	companyName, managingDirectors[], vatId, registerNumber, registerCourt, address. null when no imprint was found
pagesScraped	number	Homepage plus extra pages that were read
status	string	ok, no-contacts, unreachable, blocked or robots-disallowed
error	string or null	Reason when the status is not ok or no-contacts
scrapedAt	string	ISO timestamp

Status values

• ok: at least one email, phone or social profile was found (charged).
• no-contacts: the website was read but nothing usable was found (free). imprint may still be filled.
• unreachable: the domain does not resolve, times out, or the homepage returned an error (free).
• blocked: the website answered with HTTP 403 or a bot-protection challenge page. The Actor does not try to get around protection (free).
• robots-disallowed: the website's robots.txt does not allow crawling the homepage (free).

How extraction works

• Emails are read from mailto: links, visible text, JSON-LD data and common obfuscations (name [at] domain [dot] com, (at), AT/DOT, HTML entities, Cloudflare email protection). Image file names such as logo@2x.png, placeholders such as name@example.com and error-tracking IDs are filtered out. Addresses that only appear in the imprint and belong to someone else (for example a web agency credit) are dropped.
• Phones come from tel: links first, plus numbers in the text that carry a phone label (Tel, Telefon, Phone, Mobil, Hotline) or an international prefix. Numbers labelled Fax are ignored. Numbers are validated with libphonenumber. Numbers without an international prefix are parsed with your defaultCountry, then with the country of the website's domain ending (for example .de).
• Social links are classified as real profiles. Share buttons, posts, intents and login links are ignored.
• Contact pages are found through links on the homepage whose address or text matches words like contact, kontakt, about, ueber-uns, impressum, imprint, legal, team, support, mentions-legales, aviso-legal, note-legali or contacto. If no imprint or contact page is linked, the Actor tries /impressum, /kontakt and /contact.
• Imprint data is read from the Impressum or legal notice page. The parser is conservative: a field is null or empty rather than guessed.

How to use

1. Open the Actor and add your websites to Websites. Full URLs and bare domains both work.
2. Set Max extra pages per website (default 5). Use 0 for the homepage only.
3. Set Default country for phone numbers to the country of most of your leads (for example DE, GB, US).
4. Click Start. Download the results as JSON, CSV, Excel or via the API.

Use the website contact extractor from your code (API)

Every run can be started over the Apify API, so you can enrich lead lists, CRM records or spreadsheets with emails and phone numbers automatically.

Node.js with the apify-client package:

import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client';

const client = new ApifyClient({ token: 'YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN' });
const run = await client.actor('fetchsmith-labs/website-contact-extractor').call({
    startUrls: ['hetzner.com', 'https://www.python.org'],
    maxPagesPerSite: 5,
    defaultCountry: 'DE',
});
const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems();
for (const site of items) console.log(site.domain, site.status, site.emails, site.phones.map((p) => p.e164));

Python with the apify-client package:

from apify_client import ApifyClient

client = ApifyClient("YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN")
run = client.actor("fetchsmith-labs/website-contact-extractor").call(run_input={
    "startUrls": ["hetzner.com", "https://www.python.org"],
    "defaultCountry": "DE",
})
for item in client.dataset(run["defaultDatasetId"]).iterate_items():
    if item["status"] == "ok":
        print(item["domain"], item["emails"], item["imprint"])

cURL, synchronous run that returns the dataset items directly:

curl -X POST "https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/fetchsmith-labs~website-contact-extractor/run-sync-get-dataset-items?token=YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"startUrls": ["hetzner.com"], "maxPagesPerSite": 3, "defaultCountry": "DE"}'

Results can also go straight to Google Sheets, HubSpot, Make, Zapier, n8n or a webhook through the Apify integrations on the Actor page. A typical workflow: collect company domains with a lead source (for example the Local Business Leads Actor from Fetchsmith Labs), then pass the website values to this Actor as startUrls.

Pricing

Pay per event:

Event	Price	Charged when
website-with-contacts	$0.004	A website returned at least one email, phone number or social profile

You pay only for websites where we found contacts. Websites with status no-contacts, unreachable, blocked or robots-disallowed are free.

Example: 1,000 websites where contacts are found on all of them cost $4.00. If contacts are found on 600 of the 1,000, you pay for 600 websites, which is $2.40.

You can set a maximum spend per run in the Apify run options. The Actor stops cleanly when that limit is reached.

Use cases

• Build B2B lead lists from a list of company domains
• Enrich a CRM with emails, phone numbers and social profiles
• Collect DACH company data (legal name, managing directors, VAT ID, HRB number) from the Impressum for compliance and KYB-style checks
• Find the right contact page and imprint for outreach or recruiting
• Monitor whether your own sites publish a complete imprint and contact data

FAQ

Does it use a browser? No. It reads server-rendered HTML over HTTP, which keeps runs fast and cheap. Websites that build their whole page with JavaScript and ship no contact data in the HTML can return no-contacts.

Is this legal? The Actor only reads information that websites publish openly, respects robots.txt, does not log in and does not bypass bot protection. You are responsible for how you use the data, including compliance with data protection law (for example GDPR and anti-spam rules) when contacting people.

What happens on protected websites? If a site answers with HTTP 403 or a challenge page, the item gets status blocked and is not charged. If the homepage is disallowed in robots.txt, the status is robots-disallowed.

How many pages are read per website? The homepage plus up to maxPagesPerSite extra pages (default 5, maximum 15). Each request has a 15 second timeout and redirects are followed. Non-HTML files are skipped.

Why are some imprint fields empty? Imprints are free text. The parser only reports values it is confident about, so a field is null instead of a wrong guess.

Do I need a proxy? Most websites work without one. Turn on Apify Proxy in the input if you want requests from a specific country.

Are x.com links returned for Twitter? Yes. Profiles on twitter.com and x.com are listed under twitter as https://x.com/<handle>.

Can I export the results to CSV or Excel? Yes. Open the run's Storage tab and download the dataset as CSV, Excel, JSON, XML or HTML. Nested fields such as emails and socials are flattened into columns in CSV and Excel.

How many websites can I process in one run? There is no fixed limit. Runs of a few thousand domains work fine with the default memory; raise maxConcurrency for faster runs and lower maxPagesPerSite to save time when you only need the homepage.
