PeachParser

PeachParser is an Apify Actor developed by SLASH for crawling websites to extract:

• Emails (from visible content and mailto: links)
• Social profiles (Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, X, YouTube, TikTok, Pinterest)
• Optional listing items from directory-like pages (for example, lists of choirs, restaurants, or organizations)

It is optimized for small to medium websites where you want both contact details and, optionally, all items listed on a directory page (such as https://www.sverigeskorforbund.se/korer).

Key Features

1. Site-level contact extraction

   • Extracts emails from:
     • mailto: links
     • Visible page text (up to a configurable limit)
   • Filters:
     • Removes tracking / telemetry addresses
     • Blocks placeholder / bogus domains (e.g. mysite.com, *.wixpress.com)
     • Accepts emails that match the website’s domain or come from generic providers (Gmail, Outlook, etc.)

2. Social profile detection

   • Detects social links from:
     • JSON-LD (sameAs arrays)
     • Regular anchor tags (<a href="...">)
   • Supports:
     • Facebook
     • Instagram
     • LinkedIn
     • X (Twitter)
     • YouTube
     • TikTok
     • Pinterest
   • Applies a brand token (derived from the hostname) to avoid irrelevant social links from third-party widgets when possible.

3. Optional listing extraction

   • When extract_listings is enabled, PeachParser tries to identify listing items on pages:
     • Looks for same-domain <a> links with meaningful text
     • Skips obviously generic link text such as “read more”, “les mer”, “more info”, etc.
     • Avoids file downloads and non-HTML resources
   • Each listing item is stored as a separate dataset record with:
     • record_type = "listing_item"
     • item_name
     • item_url
     • item_source_page

4. Smart crawling

   • Restricts crawling to a single domain (supports www. and bare domain equivalence)
   • Skips non-HTML responses and resources with unwanted file extensions (.pdf, images, archives, etc.)
   • Prioritizes URLs with contact-related keywords (kontakt, contact, om-oss, about, personvern, etc.)
   • Respects max_pages_per_site to control workload

5. Robots.txt (optional)

   • When respect_robots_txt is enabled, PeachParser:
     • Fetches and parses robots.txt (with a short timeout and size limit)
     • Uses it to decide whether a URL may be crawled

Notes

• Keep max_pages_per_site modest for reliability and to avoid hitting rate limits.
• Results depend on site structure and the presence of contact information in public pages.
• Respect terms of service and local laws.
