📊 What Data Does the Academia.edu Phone Number Scraper Extract?

The Academia.edu Phone Number Scraper saves one record per phone number. Each record connects the number to the keyword that found it and the public Academia.edu page it came from.

Field	Description	Example
phone_number	Validated phone number in E.164 format	+441144960156
country	Country selected in the input	United Kingdom
dial_code	Country calling code	+44
keyword	Keyword that found this number	academic
title	Title of the source page	Dr Hannah Reid - Northfield…
description	Public text snippet where the number appears	in Sheffield. Office tel: 0114 496…
url	Direct link to the source page	https://northfield.academia.edu/HannahReid…
platform	Platform the record comes from	Academia.edu
proxyGroups	Technical information about the connection used for the run	–

Many Academia.edu profiles sit on university-named subdomains, so results can come from several kinds of pages. The Academia.edu Phone Number Scraper can return numbers from:

• 👤 Researcher profile pages – where academics list their affiliation, research interests and sometimes office details.

• 📄 Paper pages – where uploaded articles, theses and CVs can include a corresponding author's contact.

• 🏛️ Department and university pages – that group the researchers of one institution.

• 🌐 Other public academia.edu pages – that show a number in their title or snippet.

🔒 Public data only: The Academia.edu Phone Number Scraper reads publicly visible titles and snippets. It does not access Academia.edu accounts, private messages, Premium analytics or any account data.

📌 What to expect: Many Academia.edu profiles show no phone number, and most numbers that do appear are office or department lines in uploaded CVs and papers. Field keywords combined with roles such as lecturer or professor usually work better than broad terms.

🚀 How to Use the Academia.edu Phone Number Scraper

You can run the Academia.edu Phone Number Scraper in a few minutes without writing any code.

• Step 6 – Export your data: download the dataset as CSV, Excel or JSON, or send it to your CRM.

⏰ Large searches: For high phone-number limits or many keywords, increase the timeout in Run options. The default timeout is 3,600 seconds (1 hour).

🧭 How to Find Academics' Phone Numbers on Academia.edu by Field and Country

Keyword and country together decide which phone numbers you receive. The Academia.edu Phone Number Scraper looks for public academia.edu pages that match your keyword and contain a number valid for the selected country, then extracts and validates every number it detects.

For example, to reach UK lecturers in archaeology, combine lecturer, archaeology and academic with United Kingdom (+44). To find researchers at Nigerian universities, try researcher and professor with Nigeria (+234).

🔹 Choosing keywords that return more phone numbers

• Use academic roles such as lecturer, professor, researcher or PhD candidate.

• Use research fields such as archaeology, linguistics, economics or nursing.

• Use institution words such as university, faculty, department or institute.

• Add several short, related keywords instead of one long, narrow phrase.

💡 Can the Academia.edu Phone Number Scraper Limit Phone Numbers per Keyword or per Run?

Yes. The Academia.edu Phone Number Scraper gives you two ways to apply the Max Phone Numbers limit, controlled by the Per Keyword Scrape Max Contacts switch.

Setting	How the limit works	Example with 3 keywords and a limit of 50
ON (default)	The limit applies to each keyword separately	Up to 150 phone numbers in total
OFF	The limit applies to the whole run	Up to 50 phone numbers in total

With the switch ON, every keyword gets its own share, so one popular keyword cannot use up the whole limit. With the switch OFF, the Academia.edu Phone Number Scraper stops as soon as the total is reached.

⚠️ Heads-up: With the switch ON, a run can collect – and be billed for – up to Max Phone Numbers × number of keywords, and it takes proportionally longer.
