Fast Website Contact Extractor

Extract public contact information from one website with a small, predictable HTTP-only crawl. Each successful run writes one record to the Default Dataset.

What it extracts

• Email addresses, including mailto: links.
• Phone numbers, including tel: links.
• Public Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, X/Twitter, YouTube, TikTok, Pinterest, and Threads profile URLs.
• Same-site Contact/About-style page URLs actually found in page links.
• The exact source page URL for every email, phone number, and social link.

Duplicate contact values and duplicate page URLs are removed. The first page on which a value is found is retained as its sourceUrl.

Input

Provide exactly one absolute HTTP or HTTPS URL:

{ "url": "https://example.com/" }

The Actor is for public websites only. 1 run = 1 website; bulk URL input is not supported. URLs containing credentials are rejected.

How it works

The Actor fetches the input page using normal HTTP, discovers same-origin Contact/About-style links present in the HTML, and checks those links in discovery order. It checks a maximum of 5 HTML pages total, never intentionally crawls external domains, never guesses an unlimited list of paths, and never fetches the same scheduled URL twice.

This is HTTP-only extraction. JavaScript is not executed. It is not a full-site crawler and does not use browser automation, Playwright, Puppeteer, proxies, AI/LLM, search engines, login, paid APIs, a database, or CRM integrations. It performs no email or SMTP verification. Extracted information comes only from publicly accessible pages returned by the website.

The whole run has a 15-second timeout, including response-body reads and the additional discovered pages.

Output

{
  "url": "https://example.com/",
  "emails": [{ "value": "hello@example.com", "sourceUrl": "https://example.com/contact" }],
  "phones": [{ "value": "+1 212 555 0100", "sourceUrl": "https://example.com/contact" }],
  "socialLinks": [{ "url": "https://linkedin.com/company/example", "sourceUrl": "https://example.com/" }],
  "contactPages": ["https://example.com/contact"],
  "sourcePages": ["https://example.com/", "https://example.com/contact"],
  "pagesChecked": 2,
  "httpStatus": 200,
  "finalUrl": "https://example.com/"
}

httpStatus and finalUrl describe the top-page response. sourcePages contains successfully processed HTML pages. An empty contact result is a valid success and uses empty arrays.

Pricing

This Actor uses pay-per-event pricing: $0.00005 for each Actor Start and $0.00050 for the result event. A successful run produces one dataset record and charges the result event once. Failed runs do not produce a result record. Volume discounts are currently off.

Errors

Input or fetch failures end the run with exit code 1 and do not write incomplete success data to the Default Dataset.

Code	Meaning
INVALID_URL	Missing or invalid absolute HTTP(S) input URL, or a URL containing credentials.
HTTP_ERROR	A requested page returned a non-2xx response.
NETWORK_ERROR	DNS, connection, TLS, or another fetch failure.
TIMEOUT	The run exceeded 15 seconds.
NON_HTML	A requested response was not HTML or XHTML.

Local development

Requires Node.js 22 or later and the Apify CLI.

npm install
npm test
npm run typecheck
npm run build
apify run --no-purge --input-file input.json

Do not use a production website for deterministic tests; the automated test suite uses local HTML fixtures and a local HTTP server.
