📊 Dataset View (Overview)

The default overview focuses on lead-enrichment fields:

Domain (rootDomain)

Emails (emails)

LinkedIn (socials.linkedin)

Instagram (socials.instagram)

Source URL (url)

This makes it easy to validate lead quality inside Apify before exporting.

🔥 Pro Tips (maximize leads & reduce cost)

1. Use depth 1 for best coverage

Most sites hide emails/socials on Contact/About pages. maxDepth = 1 usually yields the best results without large crawl cost.

2. Increase quality with filters downstream

For outreach pipelines:

Keep only domains with at least 1 email OR a LinkedIn profile

Use title/description for lightweight qualification

Deduplicate by rootDomain

3. Batch large lists safely

For thousands of websites:

Run in batches (e.g., 200–1000 domains per run)

Keep maxRequestsPerCrawl aligned with your batch size

🧯 Troubleshooting

No emails found

Some websites:

use contact forms only

obfuscate emails with JS

block crawlers

Try:

keep maxDepth = 1

enable proxies

verify the site is accessible without geo restrictions

Social links missing

Some sites do not link socials directly from page HTML (they may load dynamically). This Actor extracts what is present in the markup and linked pages.

Blocked / rate-limited

Datacenter proxies are usually enough

If you still see blocks, use more sessions or switch proxy group if available

❓ FAQ

Is this a website contact API alternative?

Yes. Most sites have no public contact API, so this Actor reads emails, phones and social links straight from the page HTML — a practical no-API alternative for pulling contact data at scale.

How do I export website contacts to CSV or JSON?

Run the Actor on your domain list, then use Apify's dataset export to download results as CSV or JSON. Each row already includes emails, social profiles and the source URL, ready for outreach or CRM import.

Can I scrape emails from websites in bulk without login?

Yes. There is no login or API key required. Add a batch of Start URLs (e.g. 200–1000 domains) and the Actor extracts contact details from each homepage plus its Contact/About pages.

🗺 Roadmap

Planned enhancements:

advanced email de-obfuscation (common JS patterns)

phone number extraction per locale (E.164 normalization)

per-domain summary output (single merged record per domain)

optional additional socials (TikTok, GitHub)

Support & Feedback

Open an issue with:

sample site URLs

which fields you need (emails, phones, socials)

expected output format (per-page vs per-domain)

We can tune extraction rules for specific verticals if needed.

🔗 Related Actor — Verify the emails you extract

Once this Actor pulls emails, run them through Bulk Email Verifier to drop invalid, catch-all and risky addresses before any outreach. Typical workflow:

1. Website Contact Scraper (this Actor) → extract emails, phones & socials from any domain list
2. Bulk Email Verifier → validate deliverability so you keep only clean, sendable leads
