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.md): ```bash npm install apify-client ``` In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python.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/platform/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 ## Business Email, Phone & Contact Details Scraper ### Pain points - A lead list of company websites is useless for outreach without the contact details. - Email, phone, socials and address are scattered across contact/about/team pages — and emails are often obfuscated. - Naive scrapers return junk — template placeholders, tracking noise, franchise addresses. - Doing it by hand across hundreds of sites is a day of copy-paste. ### What we solve - Turn any list of website URLs into full contact details — email, phone, social links and address — in one run. - Crawls the homepage plus contact/about/team pages and de-obfuscates common email tricks. - Filters template junk so you don't pay for garbage, and classifies each email. - Flags franchise/corporate email addresses so you know which is the local business. ### Summary Turn a list of website URLs into each business's contact details. For every site the actor crawls the homepage and its contact/about/team pages and pulls out the email (de-obfuscating the usual [at]/(dot)/HTML-entity tricks, throwing away template placeholders and tracking noise, and classifying each address as generic, role, or personal), the phone numbers (from tel: links and visible text), the social-profile links (Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, X/Twitter, YouTube, TikTok, and more), and a best-effort postal address (from JSON-LD, an address tag, or a street-address match). It also compares the email's domain to the site's, so a franchise/corporate address is flagged rather than passed off as the local business. Feed it a chamber list, a CRM export, a spreadsheet, or another scraper's output — platform-agnostic. ### Who it's for - B2B sales and lead-gen teams enriching a list of company websites - Agencies preparing outreach lists - Recruiters and researchers who have URLs but need contacts - Anyone with a spreadsheet of websites and no contact details ### How to use Set the input, run the actor, and collect results from the run's dataset (export to JSON/CSV/Excel, or pull via the Apify API). Example input: ```json { "urls": [ "https://basecamp.com", "https://www.gitlab.com" ], "maxPagesPerSite": 6 } ```` See **Inputs** below for every available field. ### What you get One row per record: | Field | Description | |---|---| | `website` | The site crawled (after redirects) | | `emails` | Emails found: {email, source\_url, type (generic/role/personal), confidence (high/medium)} | | `phones` | Phone numbers found (tel: links + visible text) | | `socials` | Social-profile links found: {platform, url} | | `address` | Best-effort postal address (JSON-LD / address tag / street match), when published | | `email_domain_matches_website` | False = a franchise/corporate email, not this site's business | | `status` | found | no\_email | unreachable | corporate\_site | | `source_url` | The input website | Sample: ```json { "website": "https://acme-consulting.com", "emails": [ { "email": "info@acme-consulting.com", "source_url": "https://acme-consulting.com/contact", "type": "generic", "confidence": "high" }, { "email": "jane@acme-consulting.com", "source_url": "https://acme-consulting.com/team", "type": "personal", "confidence": "high" } ], "phones": [ "+1 (415) 555-0100" ], "socials": [ { "platform": "linkedin", "url": "https://www.linkedin.com/company/acme-consulting/" }, { "platform": "facebook", "url": "https://www.facebook.com/acmeconsulting" } ], "address": "123 Main St, Concord, CA, 94520", "email_domain_matches_website": true, "status": "found", "source_url": "https://acme-consulting.com" } ``` ### Inputs | Field | Required | Type | Default | Description | |---|---|---|---|---| | `urls` | no | array | `["https://www.apify.com"]` | The websites to crawl for contact details (email, phone, social links, address), e.g. \['https://acmeplumbing.com']. A bare domain is fine — 'http://' is assumed. | | `startUrls` | no | array | `[]` | Standard Apify URL list — an alternative to 'urls' (e.g. from a linked dataset or Google Sheet). | | `maxPagesPerSite` | no | integer | `6` | How many pages to crawl per site (homepage plus contact/about/team pages). More pages = higher hit rate, more compute. | | `proxyConfiguration` | no | object | `{"useApifyProxy": false}` | Optional. Enable a proxy (e.g. residential) if target sites block the datacenter IP. | ### Pricing (Pay Per Event) You pay per result (`contact-found`) — **no charge for empty runs**. Example: **200 websites with an email or phone** at *$0.005/result* ≈ **$1.00**. One charge per website that yields at least one email or phone number — social links and address are included free, and sites with no email/phone (or that are unreachable) cost nothing. Illustrative — the final per-site price is set at publish time. Apify platform compute is billed separately per your plan. ### Use cases - Lead enrichment — turn a list of company websites into email, phone and social contacts. - Chamber/directory follow-up — feed member sites, get outreach details. - CRM hygiene — backfill missing contact details for accounts you already track. - Prospecting — extract role and personal contacts, phone and socials from a target account list. ### Why this actor - Four contact types in one run — email, phone, social links and address — from any list of URLs. - No garbage — template placeholders and tracking noise filtered out before you pay. - Franchise-aware — off-domain corporate emails are flagged, not passed off as the local business. ### Limitations & updates Extracts contact details published on a website's own public pages (homepage + contact/about/team). Emails and social links are the most reliable; phone extraction covers tel: links and standard visible formats; postal address is best-effort (found when the site publishes it as JSON-LD, an address tag, or a recognizable US street address). It does not brute-force or guess, verify deliverability, or crawl login-walled platforms like Facebook/Instagram. Coverage depends on whether the business lists the detail at all. ### FAQ **What do I give it?** A list of website URLs (`urls`), or a standard Apify start-URL list. A bare domain is fine — 'http://' is assumed. **What contact details does it return?** Per site: emails (classified generic/role/personal), phone numbers, social-profile links (Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, X/Twitter, YouTube, TikTok, and more), and a best-effort postal address. **How many pages does it crawl per site?** The homepage plus its contact/about/team pages, up to `maxPagesPerSite` (default 6). More pages = higher hit rate, more compute. **How am I charged?** One charge per website that yields at least one email or phone number. Social links and address are included free, and sites with no email/phone — or that are unreachable — cost nothing. **What's the franchise flag?** If the only email found is on a different domain than the site (e.g. a corporate `customercare@brand.com` on a franchisee's page), `email_domain_matches_website` is false so you can tell it apart from the local business. **Does it work on Facebook/Instagram pages?** No — social platforms wall their content behind login/JS challenges. Give it real business websites; the actor returns the social-profile URLs it finds linked on those sites. ### Which actor to choose Pairs with the chamber directory scraper: - **Chamber of Commerce Member Directory & Business Leads Scraper** — You want the businesses too — every member of a local chamber, with website and email. ### Guides & use cases Written up on **[scrapebench.dev](https://scrapebench.dev)** — the bench that runs and verifies this actor against the live source every night: - **How-to:** [How to run Business Email, Phone & Contact Details Scraper](https://scrapebench.dev/guides/how-to-business-email-phone-contact-details-scraper/) - **Use case:** [Find contact details for a list of company websites](https://scrapebench.dev/use-cases/enrich-company-websites/) More actors, coverage and nightly verification results: **[scrapebench.dev](https://scrapebench.dev)** # Actor input Schema ## `urls` (type: `array`): The websites to crawl for contact details (email, phone, social links, address), e.g. \['https://acmeplumbing.com'].
