Website Contact Scraper Apify Actor

A production-ready website contact scraper designed to crawl websites recursively, extract contact information, and output structured data. Perfect for B2B lead generation, CRM enrichment, and automated outreach campaigns.

This Actor extracts:

• Email addresses (filtered to remove static assets like image/font files)
• Phone numbers (standardized and filtered for false positives)
• Social Media links (LinkedIn, Facebook, Instagram, Twitter/X, YouTube, TikTok, GitHub, Pinterest, and Medium profiles)
• Physical Addresses (using heuristic text checks and <address> tag parsers)

Features

• ⚡ Extremely Fast: Built with Crawlee's CheerioCrawler to parse raw HTML directly without the overhead of a headless browser.
• 🎯 Targeted Crawling: Prioritizes contact, about, team, and help pages if crawlShortcutLinksOnly is enabled to save crawl budget.
• ⚙️ Configurable Limits: Set max pages per domain and maximum depth to prevent runaway runs on large sites.
• 🔄 Consolidated Output: Automatically aggregates and de-duplicates contact information collected across multiple pages of the same domain into a single clean JSON record.
• 🛡️ Proxy Support: Fully integrated with Apify Proxy or custom proxies to bypass rate limits and geoblocks.
