## What's an Apify Actor?

Actors are a software tools running on the Apify platform, for all kinds of web data extraction and automation use cases.
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.

In JavaScript/TypeScript projects, use official [JavaScript/TypeScript client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md):

```bash
npm install apify-client
```

In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md):

```bash
pip install apify-client
```

In shell scripts, use [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md):

````bash
# MacOS / Linux
curl -fsSL https://apify.com/install-cli.sh | bash
# Windows
irm https://apify.com/install-cli.ps1 | iex
```bash

In AI frameworks, you might use the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/integrations/mcp.md).

If your project is in a different language, use the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md).

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

For more details, see Apify documentation as [Markdown index](https://docs.apify.com/llms.txt) and [Markdown full-text](https://docs.apify.com/llms-full.txt).


# README

## Website Contact Finder

Turn a list of websites into contacts. Give it domains, get back **emails, phone numbers, social profiles, and postal addresses** for each one, pulled from the homepage and the pages that actually hold contact details (contact, about, team, imprint). **No API key, no third-party data source, no setup.**

One clean record per website, ready for a CRM, an outreach list, or enrichment.

### Why this one

Most contact scrapers either wrap a third-party API that breaks when the upstream throttles, or spray a page with a naive email regex and hand you `logo@2x.png`. This one is built for the two things that actually matter: **finding the contact, and being right about it.**

- **Finds obfuscated emails.** `sales [at] acme [dot] co [dot] uk` and `info(at)example(dot)com` are decoded, not missed. `mailto:` links are read directly.
- **Real phone numbers, not noise.** Every number is validated by Google's libphonenumber against the site's country, so dates, prices and order IDs are never returned as phones. Output is clean E.164 (`+441134960000`).
- **Junk filtered out.** Asset filenames (`logo@2x.png`), analytics/telemetry (`sentry`, `wix`), and template placeholders (`your@email.com`) are dropped.
- **Social profiles, de-shared.** LinkedIn, X/Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, TikTok, GitHub, Pinterest, one profile per platform, with share/intent links removed.
- **Provenance on every item.** Each email and phone records the exact page it was found on.
- **Never hangs.** A hard page and time budget per site means one slow or hostile website can't stall your run.
- **Honest nulls.** A site with no discoverable contacts is reported as `no_contacts`, not padded with guesses, and you are not charged for it.

### Input

| Field | What it does |
|---|---|
| `domains` | Websites to process: bare domain (`example.com`), `www` host, or full URL. One record per site. |
| `maxPagesPerDomain` | Pages to crawl per site: homepage + the most contact-relevant internal pages (default 5, max 20). |
| `defaultRegion` | Country code (e.g. `GB`, `US`, `DE`) for validating phone numbers with no country code. The site's own ccTLD (`.co.uk`, `.de`) overrides it automatically. |
| `maxSecondsPerDomain` | Hard time stop per site (default 45s). |
| `proxyConfiguration` | Rotates IPs if a site blocks datacenter traffic. Datacenter by default; switch to Residential for tough sites. |

```json
{
  "domains": ["apify.com", "https://www.monzo.com"],
  "maxPagesPerDomain": 5,
  "defaultRegion": "GB"
}
````

### Output

One record per website:

```json
{
  "domain": "monzo.com",
  "input_url": "https://www.monzo.com",
  "final_url": "https://monzo.com/",
  "status": "ok",
  "http_status": 200,
  "company_name": "Monzo Bank",
  "primary_email": "help@monzo.com",
  "emails": ["help@monzo.com", "bereavements@monzo.com"],
  "primary_phone": "+441722580180",
  "phones": ["+441722580180", "+443444111444"],
  "socials": {
    "instagram": "https://instagram.com/monzo",
    "facebook": "https://facebook.com/monzobank",
    "linkedin": "https://linkedin.com/company/monzo-bank"
  },
  "contact_form_url": "https://monzo.com/contact",
  "addresses": ["Broadwalk House, 5 Appold St, London, EC2A 2AG"],
  "emails_detail": [
    {"value": "help@monzo.com", "on_domain": true, "obfuscated": false, "source_url": "https://monzo.com/money-worries"}
  ],
  "phones_detail": [
    {"value": "+441722580180", "source": "text", "source_url": "https://monzo.com/money-worries"}
  ],
  "pages_crawled": ["https://monzo.com/", "https://monzo.com/money-worries"],
  "pages_count": 2,
  "error": null,
  "scraped_at": "2026-07-21T18:30:00+00:00"
}
```

`status` is one of `ok` (contacts found), `no_contacts` (reachable, nothing found), `blocked` (site refused the request), `unreachable` (DNS/connection failed), or `invalid` (not a usable domain).

### Pricing

Pay per event: a tiny charge to start the run, then a per-website charge **only for websites that return at least one contact**. Empty, blocked and unreachable sites are still reported for your records, but you are never charged for them.

### Good to know

- Reads only **public** pages. No login, no private data, polite rate limits and a small page budget per site.
- Sites rendered entirely in JavaScript with no server-side HTML are best-effort; if a homepage ships no readable content, the site is reported honestly rather than guessed at.
- Phone region defaults to `defaultRegion` but is overridden by the site's country domain when it has one.

# Actor input Schema

## `domains` (type: `array`):

Websites to find contacts for. Accepts a bare domain (example.com), a www host (www.example.com), or a full URL (https://example.com/about). One record is returned per website.

## `maxPagesPerDomain` (type: `integer`):

How many pages to crawl per website: the homepage plus the most contact-relevant internal pages (contact, about, team, imprint). Higher finds more but costs more compute. You are only charged per website that returns a contact, never per page.

## `defaultRegion` (type: `string`):

Two-letter country code (ISO 3166, e.g. US, GB, DE) used to validate phone numbers written without a country code. The site's own country domain (.co.uk, .de) overrides this automatically.

## `maxSecondsPerDomain` (type: `integer`):

Hard stop per website so one slow site can never hang the run.

## `proxyConfiguration` (type: `object`):

Rotates IPs if a site blocks datacenter traffic. Datacenter is used by default (cheap and works on most business sites); switch to Residential for the hostile few.

## Actor input object example

```json
{
  "domains": [
    "apify.com",
    "https://www.stripe.com"
  ],
  "maxPagesPerDomain": 5,
  "defaultRegion": "GB",
  "maxSecondsPerDomain": 45,
  "proxyConfiguration": {
    "useApifyProxy": true
  }
}
```

    ]
};

// Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
const run = await client.actor("oski/website-contact-finder").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();
