## 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`).

### 💡 What Does This Actor Do?

The **Website Lead & Contact Info Extractor** automatically crawls target websites to discover valuable B2B contact details.

Instead of manually browsing hundreds of websites looking for email addresses and contact pages, this Actor visits:

1. The **Homepage**
2. High-priority contact pages (e.g. `/contact`, `/about`, `/team`, `/support`, `/impressum`)

It intelligently filters noise (like image assets or spam trackers) and delivers **clean, enriched contact profiles** ready to export to **CSV, Excel, JSON, or Google Sheets**.

***

### ✨ Features

- ✉️ **Email Address Extractor**: Extracts and sanitizes valid emails from `mailto:` links and page text.
- 📞 **Phone Number Extractor**: Discovers phone numbers from `tel:` links and standard international number patterns.
- 🌐 **Social Profile Links**: Finds profiles for:
  - **LinkedIn** (Company & Personal profiles)
  - **Twitter / X**
  - **Facebook**
  - **Instagram**
  - **YouTube**
  - **GitHub**
  - **TikTok**
- 🏷️ **Website Metadata**: Captures site title, meta description, and CMS generator hints.
- ⚡ **Blazing Fast & Low Cost**: Powered by `Crawlee` CheerioCrawler — uses minimal compute units (CUs) and no heavy headless browser overhead.
- 🛡️ **Anti-Noise Filtering**: Automatically discards common false positives (e.g. `.png`, `sentry.io`, `example.com`).

***

### 💼 High-Value Use Cases

- **B2B Cold Email Outreach**: Build targeted prospect lists for SDRs and sales teams.
- **Agency Client Prospecting**: Find decision makers and contact information for local or global businesses.
- **Influencer & Creator Discovery**: Find direct contact emails from creator websites and portfolios.

## CLI example

```bash
echo '{
  "startUrls": [
    {
      "url": "https://crawlee.dev"
    },
    {
      "url": "https://apify.com"
    }
  ]
}' |
apify call pirapaakaranpirathapan/website-lead-contact-extractor --silent --output-dataset

```

## MCP server setup

```json
{
    "mcpServers": {
        "apify": {
            "type": "http",
            "url": "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=fetch-actor-details,pirapaakaranpirathapan/website-lead-contact-extractor"
        }
    }
}
```

The hosted server signs you in with OAuth on first connect, so no API token belongs in this config. Clients without OAuth support can send an `Authorization: Bearer <APIFY_API_TOKEN>` header instead, using a token from API & Integrations in Apify Console (https://console.apify.com/settings/integrations).
