## What's an Apify Actor?

Actors are web data automations that power AI and operations. They run on the Apify platform to scrape websites, process data, connect APIs, and automate workflows.
In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours,
and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store.
In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server.
Actors are written with capital "A".

## How to integrate an Actor?

If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects.
You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready.
The best way to integrate Actors is as follows.

- **AI agents and MCP clients** — the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/integrations/mcp.md) at `https://mcp.apify.com` (remote, streamable HTTP, OAuth on first use).
- **Agentic workflows and local Actor development** — [Agent Skills](https://apify.com/.well-known/agent-skills/index.json) with the [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): `npm install -g apify-cli`, then `apify login`.
- **JavaScript/TypeScript projects** — the official [JS/TS client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md): `npm install apify-client`.
- **Python projects** — the official [Python client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md): `pip install apify-client`.
- **Any other language** — the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md).

For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below.

# README

## Public Business Contact Extractor

Extract publicly available business contact details from websites in seconds. Add one or more company URLs and receive structured, export-ready data without paid third-party APIs.

### What it extracts

- Public email addresses
- Telephone numbers
- WhatsApp links
- LinkedIn, Facebook, Instagram, X, YouTube, and TikTok profiles
- Contact and about-page candidates
- Page title, description, final URL, and domain
- Scan timestamp and errors

### Use cases

- Build prospect lists from business websites
- Enrich CRM records
- Find official contact channels
- Audit company websites for missing contact details
- Export leads to CSV, Excel, JSON, or API workflows

### Input

Provide business websites in the **Start URLs** field. You can process several websites in one run.

Example:

```json
{
  "startUrls": [
    { "url": "https://apify.com" }
  ],
  "maxRequestsPerCrawl": 30
}
```

The Actor scans each supplied page and may follow a small number of same-domain contact, support, or about pages.

### Output

Each scanned page produces a structured dataset item containing:

```json
{
  "requestedUrl": "https://example.com",
  "finalUrl": "https://example.com/",
  "domain": "example.com",
  "pageTitle": "Example Company",
  "description": "Company description",
  "emails": ["hello@example.com"],
  "phones": ["+1 555 123 4567"],
  "whatsappLinks": [],
  "socialLinks": ["https://www.linkedin.com/company/example"],
  "contactPageCandidates": ["https://example.com/contact"],
  "scannedAt": "2026-08-06T00:00:00.000Z"
}
```

### Pricing

Pay only for dataset results produced. The listed price is shown per 1,000 results; small runs cost only a fraction of that amount.

### Responsible use

Use this Actor only for lawful purposes and websites you are allowed to access. It extracts information already published on public business pages. Respect privacy, anti-spam, data-protection, and website terms applicable in your jurisdiction.

### Support

If a public business page does not return the expected fields, open an issue with the URL and expected result. Do not include passwords, private records, or personal sensitive information.

# API

You can run this Actor programmatically using our API. Below are code examples in JavaScript, Python, and CLI, as well as the OpenAPI specification and MCP server setup.

## JavaScript example

```javascript
import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client';

// Initialize the ApifyClient with your Apify API token
// Replace the '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>' with your token
const client = new ApifyClient({
    token: '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>',
});

// Prepare Actor input
const input = {
    "startUrls": [
        {
            "url": "https://crawlee.dev"
        }
    ]
};

// Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
const run = await client.actor("mottier-automation/public-business-contact-extractor").call(input);

// Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if any)
console.log('Results from dataset');
console.log(`💾 Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/${run.defaultDatasetId}`);
const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems();
items.forEach((item) => {
    console.dir(item);
});

from apify_client import ApifyClient

# Initialize the ApifyClient with your Apify API token
# Replace '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>' with your token.
client = ApifyClient("<YOUR_API_TOKEN>")

# Prepare the Actor input
run_input = { "startUrls": [{ "url": "https://crawlee.dev" }] }

# Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
run = client.actor("mottier-automation/public-business-contact-extractor").call(run_input=run_input)

# Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if there are any)
print(f"💾 Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/{run.default_dataset_id}")
for item in client.dataset(run.default_dataset_id).iterate_items():
    print(item)

## CLI example

```bash
echo '{
  "startUrls": [
    {
      "url": "https://crawlee.dev"
    }
  ]
}' |
apify call mottier-automation/public-business-contact-extractor --silent --output-dataset

```

## MCP server setup

```json
{
    "mcpServers": {
        "apify": {
            "type": "http",
            "url": "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=fetch-actor-details,mottier-automation/public-business-contact-extractor"
        }
    }
}

```

The hosted server signs you in with OAuth on first connect, so no API token belongs in this config. Clients without OAuth support can send an `Authorization: Bearer <APIFY_API_TOKEN>` header instead, using a token from API & Integrations in Apify Console (https://console.apify.com/settings/integrations).
