Extract Emails, Phone Numbers & Social Links from Any Website

Powerful Apify Actor for lead generation and contact discovery. Provide a list of websites or domains and get back structured contact data: email addresses, phone numbers, and social media profiles (Facebook, Twitter/X, LinkedIn, Instagram, YouTube, TikTok, GitHub).

Why use this Actor?

• Bulk extraction — process up to 100 domains in a single run, all crawled in parallel
• Smart crawling — automatically prioritizes contact, about, impressum, and team pages so you get results faster with fewer pages scanned
• Handles obfuscated emails — decodes [at], (at), HTML entities (@), and other common anti-scraping tricks
• Clean, filtered results — automatically removes junk emails (noreply, test, example), filters out non-useful domains (social media, search engines, CDNs, analytics), and deduplicates everything
• Reliable — automatic retry with exponential backoff (5 attempts) for failed requests. Proxy rotation on errors when proxy is enabled
• Lightweight & fast — uses raw HTTP requests with browser-like TLS fingerprints (curl_cffi). No headless browser overhead, so it runs faster and costs less
• Flexible input — accepts URLs in any format: example.com, www.example.com, https://example.com/page, or just a bare domain
• Configurable — control crawl depth, pages per domain, concurrency, and proxy settings

Use cases

• Sales prospecting — find decision-maker emails and company phone numbers at scale
• Market research — collect contact info and social media presence across competitors
• Data enrichment — enrich your CRM or database with missing contact details
• Outreach campaigns — gather verified emails for cold email or partnership outreach

Each item in the dataset represents one domain with all contacts found across its pages:

{
    "url": "https://example.com",
    "domain": "example.com",

    "phones": ["+41 44 123 45 67"],
    "socialLinks": {
        "facebook": "https://facebook.com/example",

    },
    "pagesScanned": 12,
    "scrapedAt": "2026-04-07T12:00:00.000Z"
}

How it works

1. Normalizes input — accepts URLs in any format and converts them to proper URLs
2. Filters junk domains — skips social media, search engines, CDNs, and other non-useful sites
3. Crawls with priority — starts with the homepage, then immediately targets contact/about/impressum pages before crawling the rest
4. Extracts contacts from every page:
   • Emails — regex + mailto: links + deobfuscation of [at], (at), HTML entities
   • Phones — regex + tel: links, international formats with + prefix
   • Social links — detects profile URLs for 7 major platforms, filters out share/intent links
5. Deduplicates and filters — removes junk, normalizes, and returns clean results
6. Pushes results — one structured record per domain to the Apify dataset

Tips for best results

• Set maxDepth: 0 if you only need contacts from landing pages (fastest mode)
• Increase maxPagesPerDomain for large corporate sites with deep navigation
• Enable proxy (useProxy: true) if you're getting blocked or rate-limited
• The Actor automatically prioritizes pages with "contact", "about", "impressum", "team", "support" in the URL path
