Actors are a software tools running on the Apify platform, for all kinds of web data extraction and automation use cases. 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.md): ```bash npm install apify-client ``` In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python.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/platform/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 ## Website Contact Scraper | Best Email, Phone & LinkedIn Find the best contact on a company website instead of getting a noisy dump of every email-shaped string on the page. ### What it does better - Returns source URLs for every contact. - Scores every result with a confidence label. - Returns best-contact summary fields like `best_contact_value`, `best_personal_email`, and `best_contact_form`. - Adds site-level guidance like `why_best_contact`, `recommended_next_step`, `backup_contact_values`, and `site_contact_coverage`. - Writes a ready-to-skim `CONTACT_BRIEF.md` run artifact with the best path and fallback for each site. - Flags whether a contact was directly found or inferred from page text. - Recovers common email obfuscation patterns such as `[at]` and `[dot]`. - Pulls emails from common contact attributes such as `data-email` and `aria-label`. - Detects direct contact forms and company social profiles. - Uses stronger junk filtering to cut down on assets, tracking links, and no-reply mailboxes. - Adds light role hints like `sales`, `support`, `press`, `finance`, or `careers` when the page context makes it obvious. ### Input - `startUrls`: website URLs to inspect - `maxPagesPerSite`: cap for how many internal pages to inspect per site - `maxContactsPerSite`: cap for how many output rows to return per site - `includeSocialProfiles`: include LinkedIn, Facebook, X, Instagram, YouTube, and TikTok profile links - `includeContactForms`: detect and return contact form URLs - `checkCommonContactPaths`: probe likely contact pages such as `/contact`, `/about`, `/team`, and `/support` - `requestTimeoutSecs`: request timeout per page ### Output The default dataset is flat and CSV-friendly. Each row represents one deduped contact or, if nothing was found, a single status row for that site. Key fields: - `best_contact_type` - `best_contact_value` - `best_contact_confidence_label` - `best_email` - `best_personal_email` - `best_generic_email` - `best_phone` - `best_linkedin` - `best_contact_form` - `contact_type` - `contact_value` - `email_kind` - `mx_valid` - `source_page_url` - `source_urls` - `source_snippet` - `why_best_contact` - `recommended_next_step` - `backup_contact_values` - `site_contact_coverage` ### Best fit - lead generation - agency prospecting - account research - website QA for contact accessibility - enrichment pipelines that need more trustable contact sources # Actor input Schema ## `startUrls` (type: `array`): One website URL per line. The Actor stays on the same site and looks for contact details on the homepage plus the most relevant internal pages. ## `maxPagesPerSite` (type: `integer`): Hard cap for how many pages to inspect on each website. ## `maxContactsPerSite` (type: `integer`): Limits how many output rows are returned per site after deduping and ranking. ## `includeSocialProfiles` (type: `boolean`): Extract company social profile links like LinkedIn, Facebook, X, Instagram, YouTube, and TikTok. ## `includeContactForms` (type: `boolean`): Detect contact forms and return the page or form action URL when available. ## `checkCommonContactPaths` (type: `boolean`): Try likely internal paths such as /contact, /about, /team, /leadership, and /support even if they are not linked from the homepage. ## `requestTimeoutSecs` (type: `integer`): Maximum time to wait for an individual page before skipping it. ## `debugMode` (type: `boolean`): Keep extra debug details in the Actor log and output notes. ## Actor input object example ```json { "startUrls": [ { "url": "https://example.com" } ], "maxPagesPerSite": 12, "maxContactsPerSite": 25, "includeSocialProfiles": true, "includeContactForms": true, "checkCommonContactPaths": true, "requestTimeoutSecs": 20, "debugMode": false } ```` # 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 = { "startUrls": [ { "url": "https://example.com" } ] }; // Run the Actor and wait for it to finish const run = await client.actor("happyfhantum/verified-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); }); // 📚 Want to learn more 📖?
