Why Extract Contact Details?

There are a lot of ways to pull contact data from websites—here’s what sets Extract Contact Details (contact data extraction, lead contact extraction, and automated contact extraction) apart.

Contact Extraction Focused on Real Website Signals

Extract Contact Details extracts emails, phone numbers, and social media profile links from the pages you provide. It’s designed for web scraping contact details that you can use right away for CRM contact extraction and outreach workflows.

Flexible Input for Bulk Domain Lists

You can submit multiple targetUrls in one run and get a structured output per domain. This makes it ideal for extract contact information at scale rather than one-off manual searches.

Resilient Runs with Built-In Error Handling

The actor includes error handling so that if scraping fails for one domain, you still receive a result record with empty fields instead of losing the entire batch. That’s helpful when you’re building large lead contact extraction datasets.

Clean, Consistent Output for Downstream Use

Results are pushed to the Apify dataset with consistent field names (domain, homepage_url, emails, phone_numbers, social_media). This makes contact details data extraction easier to integrate into pipelines, spreadsheets, and CRM imports.

Configuring Your Run

Drop this into your input.json to get started:

{
  "targetUrls": [
    { "url": "https://example.com" },
    { "url": "https://example.org" }
  ],
  "enablePhoneExtraction": true,
  "enableSocialMediaExtraction": true,
  "proxySettings": {
    "useApifyProxy": true
  }
}

Parameter	Required	What It Does
targetUrls	✅	List of target website URLs to scrape for contact information. Each item is an object with a url.
enablePhoneExtraction	⬜	If enabled, the scraper will also extract phone numbers found on the pages.
enableSocialMediaExtraction	⬜	If enabled, the scraper detects and extracts social media profile links (for example, LinkedIn, Twitter, Facebook).
proxySettings	⬜	Proxy configuration to help the run stay reliable while scraping publicly available data.
↳ proxySettings.proxy support	⬜	When set in proxySettings, it enables Apify Proxy usage.

Core Capabilities

Multi-Domain Contact Data Extraction

Feed in multiple websites via targetUrls, and Extract Contact Details returns one structured result per domain. You’ll get emails, phone numbers, and social links depending on which extraction options you enable.

Extract Emails, Phone Numbers, and Social Profiles

The actor extracts email addresses, phone numbers (when enabled), and social media profile links (when enabled) from the pages of each target domain. This supports everything from extract contact information to automated contact extraction for outreach and research.

Deduplicated Social Media Links

For social_media, links are deduplicated so you don’t receive repeated profiles. This helps keep your lead contact extraction clean and easier to import into a CRM.

Output That’s Ready for Analysis

Each dataset record includes domain, homepage_url, and consistent arrays for emails, phone_numbers, and social_media. With source URLs attached to emails, phones, and socials, you can audit and refine your lists without guesswork.

Proxy Support for Reliable Scraping

The actor supports proxy settings through proxySettings, and residential proxies are recommended to avoid blocking. This is especially useful for web scraping contact details across larger batches.

Reliability & Performance

What We Handle	How

Blocking risk	Built-in proxy settings help reduce interruptions when scraping publicly available data.
Per-domain failures	If one domain errors, the actor still pushes a result record for that domain with empty arrays.
Output consistency	Dataset records keep the same structure (domain, homepage_url, emails, phone_numbers, social_media).
Scale across lists	Processes multiple targetUrls in one run to support lead contact extraction workflows.
Deduplication	Social profile links are deduplicated by canonicalized URL.
