Enrichment add-ons

After the scrape completes, this actor can automatically trigger AI-powered extraction on every website found in the results. Each add-on runs as a separate actor and produces its own dataset.

Contact extraction

Extracts team member names, email addresses, phone numbers, positions, and departments from company websites. Powered by the Website Contact Extractor.

Enable it by setting enableContactExtraction: true and providing at least one LLM API key. The sub-actor run ID is stored in the key-value store as CONTACT_EXTRACTOR_RUN_ID.

Job listing extraction

Extracts open positions, job titles, locations, departments, and career page URLs from company websites. Powered by the Website Job Extractor.

Enable it by setting enableJobExtraction: true and providing at least one LLM API key. The sub-actor run ID is stored in the key-value store as JOB_EXTRACTOR_RUN_ID.

Browser fallback

Some company websites are built with JavaScript frameworks (React, Vue, Angular) that require a full browser to render. When enableBrowserFallback is set to true, the contact/job extractors will automatically re-scrape these sites with Playwright. This catches ~25% more sites but increases cost and runtime. Only applies when contact or job extraction is enabled.

LLM API keys

Both add-ons use LLMs to extract structured data. Provide one or more API keys. When multiple keys are provided, the system uses them in priority order with automatic fallback:

1. Gemini (recommended) -- Best quality-to-cost ratio. Free tier includes 1M tokens/min. Get a key at Google AI Studio.
2. Groq (optional) -- Ultra-fast inference. Get a key at Groq Console.
3. OpenRouter (optional) -- Access to 100+ models. Get a key at OpenRouter.

One key is sufficient. With multiple keys, if the primary provider hits a rate limit, the system falls back to the next available provider automatically.
