## What's an Apify Actor?

An Actor is a serverless cloud program that runs on the Apify platform. It has two run modes.
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.

Apify vocabulary and the platform model are defined once, in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md.

## 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.

Do not guess an integration path. Every one of them is in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md: the Apify MCP server, Agent Skills with the Apify CLI, the JavaScript and Python clients, the REST API, and the account-free path for an agent with no human to sign in. It also carries the rule on stating cost before the first paid run.

For examples already wired to this Actor's own input schema, see the [API](#api) section below.

Each client library has reference documentation the quickstart does not restate: [JavaScript/TypeScript](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md) (`npm install apify-client`) and [Python](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md) (`pip install apify-client`).

# README

### Buy Me a Coffee Phone Number Scraper

**Buy Me a Coffee Phone Number Scraper** turns a keyword into a contact sheet of phone numbers published on Buy Me a Coffee. Give it search terms and it returns the accounts that publish a way to reach them, with the account name, handle and profile URL beside each contact.

It reads only what Buy Me a Coffee and Google already show a signed-out visitor. No login, no cookies, no private or partner API, no browser and no JavaScript rendering.

***

### What the Buy Me a Coffee Phone Number Scraper does

The Buy Me a Coffee Phone Number Scraper searches Google with a contact dork rather than a plain keyword: `site:buymeacoffee.com creator whatsapp "+44"`. That asks for the pages which already publish a phone number, instead of every page matching a word.

Each result block yields the account and the phone number together, in one request. Google no longer prints the target URL on most layouts, so the handle comes from what it does print: the "Buy Me a Coffee - handle" site label, the breadcrumb, or a `Name (@handle)` title.

Every row is written to the dataset the moment it is found and logged as it is written, so a run is readable while it is still going.

Phone numbers are validated by libphonenumber against the real numbering plan of the country you searched, so order numbers, dates and follower counts cannot reach the dataset. Each number is returned in E.164 form and in the national format its country uses.

```json
{
  "network": "Buy Me a Coffee",
  "keyword": "creator",
  "accountName": "examplestudio",
  "fullName": "Example Studio",
  "username": "examplestudio",
  "profileUrl": "https://buymeacoffee.com/examplestudio",
  "phone": "+447590574946",
  "phoneNational": "07590 574946",
  "phoneCountry": "GB"
}
```

### How to use the Buy Me a Coffee Phone Number Scraper

1. Put your search terms in **Keywords** - the niche, job title or industry you sell to.
2. Add a **Location** if the list should be local.
3. Pick the **Countries** whose numbers you want. Every number is validated against that country's numbering plan.
4. Set **Max results** to cap the run, then start it.
5. Export the dataset as CSV, JSON or Excel, or pull it through the Apify API.

### Use cases

**Lead generation.** Build a list of Buy Me a Coffee accounts in one niche that publish a phone number, with the handle and profile URL for context before you write.

**Recruiting.** Find people describing themselves with a role keyword and reach them on the contact they chose to publish.

**Agency prospecting.** Search a niche and a city, and get a prospect sheet with the account and the contact side by side.

**CRM enrichment.** Feed `profileUrl` and `phone` straight into your CRM; the `keyword` and `query` columns record where each row came from.

### Limitations, stated plainly

- Only contacts already published in public Buy Me a Coffee pages indexed by Google. Nothing hidden from a signed-out visitor is reachable, and none is guessed from a name.
- Coverage depends on what Google has indexed, so a narrow niche returns fewer rows than a broad one. Raising **Max pages per query** and adding keywords helps.
- The free Apify plan caps a run at 20 results.
- A number written without its country code can only be validated against the country you searched, so search the countries you actually sell to.

### Pricing

Pay per result: you are charged for each row written to the dataset, and nothing for a run that finds nothing. Platform and proxy costs are included in that price.

### Buy Me a Coffee Phone Number Scraper vs manual research

Done by hand, one qualified contact takes two to four minutes: find the account, open it, read
the page, copy the phone number, paste it into a sheet.

The Buy Me a Coffee Phone Number Scraper does the same work continuously, with no tab switching
and no transcription errors. A hundred records is minutes rather than an afternoon.

It also captures what manual research usually skips. The account name, the profile URL and the
exact keyword that surfaced the row all land in the same record.

That context turns a raw list into a prioritised one. The Buy Me a Coffee Phone Number Scraper
lets you sort and filter before a single message is written.

### Using the Buy Me a Coffee Phone Number Scraper in a workflow

Most teams run the Buy Me a Coffee Phone Number Scraper on a schedule and treat the dataset as
a feed rather than a one-off export.

Point a webhook at your own endpoint and each finished run pushes its rows straight into your
CRM, with no manual download step.

The stable output schema matters here. Because every row from the Buy Me a Coffee Phone Number
Scraper has identical keys, your integration never needs to handle a missing field.

A common pattern is a nightly keyword run feeding a dedupe step. Another is enrichment: widen
the keyword list and let the Buy Me a Coffee Phone Number Scraper fill the gaps in an existing
sheet.

#### Troubleshooting the Buy Me a Coffee Phone Number Scraper

**Few or no rows.** The keyword is probably too broad or too narrow. Ten specific keywords beat
one generic one, and adding a location raises the hit rate.

**Rows without contacts.** That is normal - most accounts publish none. The Buy Me a Coffee
Phone Number Scraper reports only what is genuinely on the page.

**The run is slow to start.** Lower the concurrency. The Buy Me a Coffee Phone Number Scraper
is querying faster than the proxy pool is comfortable with.

**Fewer results than requested.** Google caps one query at roughly 300 results. Query expansion
is what reaches past that ceiling, so leave it on.

#### How the Buy Me a Coffee Phone Number Scraper handles export and integration

Export the Buy Me a Coffee Phone Number Scraper dataset as CSV, JSON, Excel or XML from the
Apify console, or pull it through the API.

Every field is flat - no nested objects - so the CSV opens cleanly in Excel or Google Sheets
without a parsing step.
