Contact Finder

Extract emails, phone numbers, and social media links (LinkedIn, Instagram, Facebook) from any website at scale.

Built on top of Crawlee's CheerioCrawler, this scraper is highly optimized for speed and cost-efficiency. It utilizes lightweight HTTP crawling instead of expensive headless browsers to minimize your run costs while maintaining high extraction accuracy.

What does this scraper do?

This Apify actor takes a list of website URLs, visits their homepages, and automatically crawls key subpages (such as /contact, /contact-us, /about, /about-us) to extract contact details. The data is normalized, filtered, and returned in a clean JSON format.

Why use this scraper?

• Speed & Cost-Efficiency: Bypasses heavy browser automation (Playwright/Puppeteer) to scan pages in milliseconds with minimal Compute Unit usage.
• Smart Email Cleaning: Automatically filters out common false-positive emails (e.g., image assets, tracking pixels, Wix defaults).
• Phone Number Validation: Uses specialized validation logic to filter out false-positives like IP addresses, dates, coordinates, and SIREN/SIRET French registration numbers.
• Social Extraction: Automatically identifies links to LinkedIn company pages, Instagram, and Facebook.
• Automation Ready: Designed to consume inputs directly from our Google Maps Scraper and feeds seamlessly into Make.com, n8n, or Relay.app workflows.

Notes & Limitations

• Cheerio Limitation: This scraper parses static HTML. Heavy Single Page Applications (SPAs) or Cloudflare-shielded domains may not yield contact information through cheerio. This is an intentional design choice to prioritize low cost and speed over heavy browser automation.
• Respect website terms of service and data protection laws in your jurisdiction.
