Website Contact Scraper: Emails, Phones & Social Links

Paste a list of company websites and get one clean row per site: email addresses, phone numbers in international format, social media links, company name and postal address when the site states one.

For each website the Actor opens the home page and the pages most likely to hold contact details (Contact, About, Team, Impressum, Support, Locations, and the same words in other languages). It reads plain HTML like a search engine does. No login, no browser.

Use this Actor when you want to

• Build a lead list from a list of company domains you already have, for example from a directory, a trade show list or another scraper's output.
• Fill in the contact columns of a spreadsheet or CRM that only has website addresses.
• Find the right contact page and social profiles of many companies at once.
• Feed contact data into your own tools through the API, a schedule or an integration.

How to use it

1. Paste the websites into Websites, one per line. apify.com, www.apify.com and https://apify.com/contact all work. A page deeper than the home page is read first, and the home page is read too.
2. Optionally set the country for phone numbers and how many pages to read per site.
3. Run. Download the results as JSON, CSV or Excel, or call the Actor from the API.

Example: contact details for three companies

{
    "websites": ["apify.com", "www.sparkfun.com", "https://www.oxfam.org.uk"],
    "maxPagesPerSite": 5
}

Example: only websites with an email, German phone format for numbers without a country code

{
    "websites": ["example-one.de", "example-two.de"],
    "requireEmail": true,
    "defaultCountry": "DE"
}

Output

One website looks like this (made-up values, not a real company):

{
    "url": "https://www.exampleco.com/",
    "domain": "exampleco.com",
    "status": "contacts_found",
    "companyName": "Exampleco",
    "email": "hello@exampleco.com",
    "emails": ["hello@exampleco.com", "jane.doe@exampleco.com", "press@exampleco.com"],
    "phone": "+442079460958",
    "phones": ["+442079460958", "+447911123456"],
    "phoneDetails": [
        { "number": "+442079460958", "international": "+44 20 7946 0958", "country": "GB", "type": "fixed_line" },
        { "number": "+447911123456", "international": "+44 7911 123456", "country": "GB", "type": "mobile" }
    ],
    "linkedin": "https://www.linkedin.com/company/exampleco",
    "facebook": "https://www.facebook.com/exampleco",
    "instagram": "https://www.instagram.com/exampleco",
    "twitter": "https://x.com/exampleco",
    "youtube": null,
    "tiktok": null,
    "pinterest": null,
    "github": null,
    "whatsapp": null,
    "telegram": null,
    "address": "1 Example Street, London, EC1A 1AA, United Kingdom",
    "contactPageUrl": "https://www.exampleco.com/contact",
    "pagesScanned": 4,
    "scannedAt": "2026-10-29T12:00:00.000Z"
}

• email and phone are the first (best) entry of emails and phones, handy for CSV exports. Addresses on the website's own domain come first, and general addresses (info@, contact@, hello@, sales@) come before people's addresses, which come before departments such as press@, legal@ or webmaster@. Addresses on other domains (sponsors, agencies, consultants listed on a page) are only returned when the website shows none of its own.
• phones holds numbers in international format without spaces. phoneDetails adds the country and the line type (mobile, fixed_line, toll_free and so on) when it can be told.
• Each social field holds the profile linked most often from the site, or null.
• status is contacts_found for every billed row. With "Also return websites where nothing was found" on, the other rows carry no_contacts, http_error, unreachable, unreadable or blocked_by_robots, plus an error text.
• At most 25 emails and 15 phone numbers are returned per website.

What it finds

Emails from mailto: links, visible text, structured data on the page, addresses written as name [at] company [dot] com, addresses hidden with HTML entities and addresses protected by Cloudflare's email protection. It ignores placeholders (you@example.com), file names that look like emails (logo@2x.png), no-reply addresses and the noise inside scripts. With "Drop emails at domains that cannot receive mail" on (default), it also removes addresses whose domain does not exist or has no mail server. That check cannot tell whether the mailbox itself exists.

Phone numbers from tel: links, WhatsApp links, structured data and visible text. A number is kept only if it is a valid number for its country. Numbers labelled as fax are skipped, and so are dates, opening hours and other digits that merely look like a number. In visible text, a number written without a country code counts only when a word like Tel, Phone, Call or Mobile comes right before it. It is read with your default country, or with the country guessed from the website's address, or from the address on the page. If no country is known, only numbers that start with + or 00 are read.

Social links to LinkedIn, Facebook, Instagram, X (Twitter), YouTube, TikTok, Pinterest, GitHub, WhatsApp and Telegram. Share buttons and links to single posts are ignored.

Good to know

• No JavaScript: pages that build their contact details with JavaScript after loading show nothing to a plain HTML read, so those sites return no result. Contact forms without an address are not leads.
• Blocked sites: some websites refuse requests from data centers. They show up as http_error (also for "Just a moment..." style bot-check pages) or unreachable in the results (with "Also return websites where nothing was found" on) and in the run summary (key SUMMARY), and cost nothing. An Apify Proxy in the Proxy setting can help; its traffic is billed to your account.
• Pages that are gone: if a web address deeper than the home page (an old link from a directory, say) returns an error, or robots.txt closes that one page, the Actor reads the home page of the same website instead.
• Slow websites: a website that does not answer within about 20 seconds is tried once more with a different kind of connection and then skipped. No website holds up the run for more than about 90 seconds, so one dead website never delays the others. If a website does not open as you typed it, the Actor also tries it with and without www. and over http.
• robots.txt: followed by default. A site that asks automated tools to stay away, or whose robots.txt answers with a server error, returns blocked_by_robots. A robots.txt that cannot be read at all (no answer within a few seconds, no connection) counts as no restrictions.
• One row per website: websites are matched by host name, so acme.com and www.acme.com are one site. Sub-domains such as shop.acme.com are separate sites.
• Speed: set mostly by how fast the websites answer. In one test, 44 company websites (up to 5 pages each) took 28 seconds with 20 read at a time. Raise "Websites read at the same time" (up to 50) to go faster, lower it if many websites time out.
• Long lists: the Actor stops starting new websites a little before the run's time limit, keeps everything found so far and says in the run summary (key SUMMARY) how many websites were left. Raise Timeout in the run options for very long lists.
• Only the site's own pages: the Actor follows links within the same website and nowhere else. It never searches the web for a company.

Pricing

You pay per lead (see the pricing box on this page). A lead is a website where at least one email address or phone number was found. Websites where nothing was found, websites that could not be read and websites skipped by "Only keep websites with an email address" are not billed. If you set a maximum cost per run in the run options, the Actor stops when that limit is reached and says so in the run summary.

Using the data responsibly

The Actor returns only what each website publishes publicly. Business contact details are still personal data when they name a person. Laws such as the GDPR and ePrivacy rules in Europe, CAN-SPAM in the US, the PDPA in Malaysia and Singapore and similar rules elsewhere decide who you may email or call, and what you must tell them. You are responsible for following them, and for the terms of the websites you scan. Do not use the results for spam.

This Actor is not affiliated with or endorsed by any website it reads or by any social network it recognises. Names are used only to say which links are recognised.
