Contact Info Scraper

What does Contact Info Scraper do?

Contact Info Scraper crawls any website and extracts all available contact information in a single run. It finds email addresses, phone numbers, physical addresses, and social media profile links (LinkedIn, Twitter/X, Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, GitHub) by intelligently crawling multiple pages on each domain. The actor automatically prioritizes contact-heavy pages like /contact, /about, /team, /impressum, and /support to maximize results with minimal page crawls.

Give it a list of website URLs and it returns one structured result per domain with every contact detail it finds, deduped and sorted. It is ideal for lead generation, sales prospecting, competitor research, or building business contact databases at scale.

Features

• Multi-signal extraction — Emails, phone numbers, physical addresses, and social media profiles in one run
• Smart crawling — Automatically prioritizes contact, about, team, and support pages before general internal links
• Six social platforms — Detects LinkedIn, Twitter/X, Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, and GitHub profiles
• Batch processing — Scrape contact info from dozens or hundreds of websites simultaneously
• Per-domain deduplication — All results are deduplicated per domain so you get clean, unique data
• Configurable extraction — Toggle each extraction type on or off (emails, phones, socials, addresses)
• Adjustable crawl depth — Control how many pages per domain to crawl (1-100)
• Contact page detection — Reports the URL of the contact or about page if one was found
• Polite crawling — Configurable request delay and concurrency to respect target servers
• Proxy support — Built-in Apify proxy support for accessing any website reliably

Proxy Requirements

This actor crawls arbitrary websites, some of which may block datacenter IP addresses or require geo-specific access. Proxy usage is optional but recommended for reliable results across diverse target sites.

• Paid Apify plan users: The default datacenter proxy configuration works for most websites. Switch to residential proxy in the input settings if you encounter blocks on specific sites.
• Free plan users: The actor works without proxy for many websites. If you experience access issues, provide your own proxy URL in the Proxy Configuration input field.
• Proxy is most important when scraping sites with Cloudflare protection, aggressive bot detection, or geo-restricted content.

FAQ

How many websites can I scrape in one run?

There is no hard limit on the number of URLs you can provide. The actor processes them in parallel based on your maxConcurrency setting. For large batches (100+ domains), consider increasing the timeout in your run configuration.

What if a website has no contact information?

The actor returns a result for every input URL regardless. If no contact data is found, the emails, phones, and addresses arrays will be empty and socialProfiles values will be null. Check the contactPageUrl field — if it is null, the site may not have a standard contact page.

Does it extract emails from JavaScript-rendered pages?

The actor uses Cheerio (server-side HTML parsing), which does not execute JavaScript. Emails embedded directly in HTML, mailto: links, and common obfuscation patterns are extracted. For heavily JavaScript-dependent sites, emails rendered only by client-side scripts may be missed.

How does priority page crawling work?

Before following general internal links, the actor automatically queues requests for common contact page paths (/contact, /about, /team, /impressum, /support) on each domain. These pages are crawled first because they are most likely to contain contact information, reducing the number of pages needed to find results.

Can I scrape only emails without phone numbers?

Yes. Set extractPhones, extractSocials, and extractAddresses to false and only extractEmails to true. The actor will still crawl the same pages but only extract and return email addresses.
