## What's an Apify Actor?

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

## 📧 Email Scraper

Extract email addresses from any website — automatically, at scale.

This actor crawls websites page by page and pulls every email address it can find: from `mailto:` links, visible text, meta tags, HTML attributes, and inline JavaScript. Give it a list of URLs and it returns a clean, deduplicated dataset of emails ready to export.

---

### 🚀 What it does

Starting from your list of URLs, the actor:

1. Visits each website and scans the page for email addresses
2. Follows internal links to crawl deeper (up to your configured limit)
3. Deduplicates emails so you never see the same address twice
4. Records exactly which page each email was found on
5. Saves everything to a structured dataset you can export as CSV, JSON, or XLSX

It automatically skips social media platforms, review sites, and other domains that never contain useful contact emails (Amazon, LinkedIn, Yelp, etc.) — saving you time and credits.

---

### 📥 Input

| Field | Type | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| `startUrls` | Array | — | **Required.** The websites to scrape |
| `maxPagesPerSite` | Integer | `10` | How many pages to crawl per domain |
| `maxConcurrency` | Integer | `5` | Parallel requests (higher = faster, more resource use) |
| `skipDomains` | Array | *(see below)* | Domain keywords to skip entirely |
| `proxyConfiguration` | Object | disabled | Use Apify Proxy to avoid blocks |

**Domains skipped by default:**
`amazon`, `yelp`, `facebook`, `instagram`, `reddit`, `twitter`, `linkedin`, `youtube`, `tiktok`, `pinterest`, `snapchat`, `google`, `apple`, `microsoft`, `wikipedia`, `tripadvisor`, `bbb`, `yellowpages`, `maps`, `bing`, `yahoo`, `trustpilot`, `glassdoor`, `indeed`

You can override this list entirely in the input if needed.

---

### 📤 Output

Each email found is saved as a row in the dataset:

```json
{
  "sourceUrl":   "https://acme.com",
  "rootDomain":  "acme.com",
  "email":       "hello@acme.com",
  "foundOnPage": "https://acme.com/contact",
  "scrapedAt":   "2025-06-01T09:15:00.000Z"
}
````

Export the full results from the Apify Console in **CSV**, **JSON**, **XLSX**, or **XML** with one click.

***

### 💡 Example input

```json
{
  "startUrls": [
    { "url": "https://company-a.com" },
    { "url": "https://company-b.io" },
    { "url": "https://agency-c.co.uk" }
  ],
  "maxPagesPerSite": 20,
  "maxConcurrency": 5,
  "proxyConfiguration": { "useApifyProxy": true }
}
```

***

### 🔍 Where emails are extracted from

The actor scans all of the following on every page:

- `mailto:` links (most reliable source)
- All visible text content
- Meta tag `content` attributes
- HTML `data-*` attributes and form field values
- Inline `<script>` blocks (emails stored in JS variables)

False positives (placeholder emails like `user@example.com`, image filenames, etc.) are automatically filtered out.

***

### ⚙️ Tips for best results

- **Set `maxPagesPerSite` to 20–50** for thorough coverage of larger sites. Contact, About, and Team pages are crawled automatically.
- **Enable Apify Proxy** if you're scraping sites with bot protection.
- **Lower `maxConcurrency`** if you're hitting rate limits on sensitive domains.
- The actor respects site structure and only follows **internal links** — it won't wander off to third-party domains.

***

### 🛠️ Local development

```bash
npm install

## Create input file
mkdir -p storage/key_value_stores/default
echo '{"startUrls":[{"url":"https://yoursite.com"}],"maxPagesPerSite":5}' \
  > storage/key_value_stores/default/INPUT.json

npm start
```

const client = new ApifyClient({
    token: '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>',
});

// Prepare Actor input
const input = {
    "startUrls": [
        {
            "url": "https://example.com"
        }
    ],
    "proxyConfiguration": {

    }
};

// Run the Actor and wait for it to finish

// 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) => {
