Why Website Email Scraper?

There are a lot of ways to pull data from websites—here’s what sets Website Email Scraper apart.

Built for complete contact details (not just emails)

Website Email Scraper doesn’t stop at an email harvesting tool approach. It also extracts phone numbers and social media profile links so you can build richer lead records in one pass—ideal for a web scraper for emails workflow.

Flexible input for real-world lead lists

You provide targetUrls as a list of website URLs. The actor extracts domains from your inputs and produces one dataset record per domain, making it practical for bulk email extractor and CRM email scraper use cases.

Reliability-focused scraping with fallback behavior

The actor includes resilient behavior with error handling per domain, pushing an empty result set if a domain fails. That means your run can continue and you can still use successfully scraped domains without starting over.

Output that’s easy to plug into outreach workflows

Results are pushed directly into the dataset with consistent field names: domain, homepage_url, emails, phone_numbers, and social_media. That structured output is exactly what you want when you’re scraping emails from leads for downstream automation.

Configuring Your Run

Drop this into your input.json to get started:

{
  "targetUrls": [
    { "url": "https://example.com" },
    { "url": "https://another-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
enablePhoneExtraction	⬜	If enabled, extracts phone numbers found on the pages
enableSocialMediaExtraction	⬜	If enabled, detects and extracts social media profile links from the site
proxySettings	⬜	Proxy configuration to help scraping run smoothly
↳ proxySettings.proxy support	⬜	Routes traffic through Apify Proxy (recommended for reliable scraping)

Core Capabilities

Email extraction for lead generation

Website Email Scraper extracts emails and returns them in a structured emails array. Each email includes confidence_score, source_url, source_type, and validation_status, which helps you understand what was found and where.

Optional phone number extraction

When enablePhoneExtraction is true, the output includes phone_numbers with both phone and formatted values, plus source_url. This is useful for campaigns that mix email and phone outreach.

Social media enrichment links

When enableSocialMediaExtraction is enabled, the output includes a social_media array with platform, url, and source_url. This makes Website Email Scraper useful as a web scraper for emails plus enrichment—helpful for lead qualification.

Domain-based results for clean downstream processing

The actor creates one dataset record per scraped domain with homepage_url and the discovered contact details. That makes it straightforward to join results back to your own domain lists for automated email scraping and CRM email scraper workflows.

Built-in proxy support for smoother scraping

The run supports proxy configuration via proxySettings, with residential proxies recommended in the UI description for avoiding blocking. This helps Website Email Scraper behave reliably across diverse sites.
