## 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

## Website Contact Scraper (email, phone, socials)

Turn a plain list of website URLs into outreach-ready contact records. For each site it fetches
the homepage plus a handful of discovered contact/about/team pages, and pulls out email
addresses, phone numbers and social profile links (Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, X/Twitter,
YouTube, TikTok). Feed it a lead list from any source, or pair it with a local business finder,
to turn raw domains into contacts a sales or marketing team can actually reach.

### What you get

One record per input website: `emails`, `phones`, `socials` (one canonical profile URL per
network, or `null`), `pagesScanned`, `finalUrl`, and `success`/`error`. A record is pushed for
every input, including sites that fail to load, so buyers always get one row per input.

### Honest limits

- **Public pages only.** It reads the homepage and up to `maxExtraPages` same-domain pages whose
  link text or URL looks like contact, about, impressum, team, support or kontakt. It does not
  crawl the whole site.
- **No JS rendering.** Sites that only render contact info via client-side JavaScript (no plain
  HTML fallback) will yield less. Most business and marketing sites work fine.
- **No guessing.** It never fabricates or permutes emails (no `first.last@domain.com` guessing).
  It only reports what's actually published in the fetched pages.
- Phone number matching is deliberately conservative — it favors missing an odd format over
  reporting junk.

### Pricing

Pay per event: **$5 per 1,000 websites successfully processed** ($0.005 each). Failed fetches
are free.

### Example input

```json
{ "websites": ["apify.com", "allbirds.com"], "maxExtraPages": 3 }
```

# Actor input Schema

## `websites` (type: `array`):

List of websites to scan for contact details. Domain or full URL, with or without scheme (e.g. "apify.com" or "https://apify.com").

## `maxExtraPages` (type: `integer`):

How many additional same-domain pages to fetch beyond the homepage, chosen from links whose URL or text looks like contact, about, impressum, team, support or kontakt.

## Actor input object example

```json
{
  "websites": [
    "apify.com",
    "allbirds.com"
  ],
  "maxExtraPages": 3
}
```

# Actor output Schema

## `contacts` (type: `string`):

Dataset with one record per input website: emails, phones, social links, and success status.

# 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 = {
    "websites": [
        "apify.com",
        "allbirds.com"
    ]
};

// Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
const run = await client.actor("goodnight-dreams/website-contact-scraper").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 = { "websites": [
        "apify.com",
        "allbirds.com",
    ] }

# Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
run = client.actor("goodnight-dreams/website-contact-scraper").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 '{
  "websites": [
    "apify.com",
    "allbirds.com"
  ]
}' |
apify call goodnight-dreams/website-contact-scraper --silent --output-dataset

```

## MCP server setup

```json
{
    "mcpServers": {
        "apify": {
            "type": "http",
            "url": "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=fetch-actor-details,goodnight-dreams/website-contact-scraper"
        }
    }
}
```

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).
