Automatically extract business emails, phone numbers, WhatsApp links and social media profiles from any website. Fast, lightweight, one clean result per domain.

What it does

Give this actor a list of websites. It crawls each one intelligently — hitting contact pages, about pages, and legal pages first — and returns a single clean record per domain with all the contacts it found.

No headless browser. No Playwright. No slow JavaScript rendering. Just raw HTTP speed with Cheerio.

Features

• Emails — extracted from page text and mailto: links, deduplicated, spam-filtered
• Phone numbers — from tel: links and visible text, no SVG/CSS false positives
• WhatsApp — detects wa.me and api.whatsapp.com links, extracts the number
• Social profiles — LinkedIn, Facebook, Instagram, Twitter/X, YouTube, TikTok (share buttons excluded)
• Smart crawl order — contact and about pages are visited first, so you get results faster
• Early stop — stops crawling a domain the moment contacts are found (saves credits)
• One result per domain — clean, structured output, no duplicates
• Proxy support — works with Apify residential proxies to avoid blocks

Use cases

• Lead generation — build prospect lists with verified contact info at scale

• Marketing agencies — research competitor contacts and partner directories
• Recruitment — find HR and hiring manager contacts on company websites
• Data enrichment — add emails and socials to existing domain lists

---

Tips

• For best results, use Apify residential proxies — many sites block datacenter IPs
• Set earlyStop: true (default) to minimize credit usage on large lists
• Set maxDepth: 1 if you only want to check the homepage and direct links
• URLs with or without https:// are both accepted — the actor normalises them automatically

Technical notes

• Built with Crawlee CheerioCrawler on apify/actor-node:22 — pure HTTP, no browser overhead
• Priority crawl order: contact → about → legal → team → homepage → other
• Phone extraction runs only on visible text nodes — no false positives from SVG or CSS
• Social share buttons (/sharer, /intent/tweet, etc.) are excluded from social results
