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 ## DACH Impressum Scraper — Emails, Phone, VAT & Directors Turn a plain list of **German, Austrian and Swiss company domains** into complete, sellable B2B leads — scraped straight from each site's legally-mandated **Impressum** (legal notice). Paste your domains, get back a clean firmographic record per company. ### What it does Every commercial DE/AT/CH website must publish an Impressum (§5 TMG/DDG in Germany, §5 ECG in Austria, plus the Swiss disclosure rules). That page is a goldmine of structured company data. For each domain you give it, this Actor: 1. Fetches the homepage and **discovers the Impressum / legal-notice link** (no fragile URL guessing). 2. Fetches that page and **extracts the firmographic fields** with DACH-tuned parsers. 3. Returns one flat lead row — ready for your CRM, outreach tool or enrichment pipeline. ### Why imprints are the cleanest EU lead source Impressum pages are **legally-required public disclosures** — the company itself publishes its contact and registration details by law. That makes them the most **GDPR-defensible** starting point for EU B2B prospecting: no logins, no scraped private profiles, just statutory public data. And unlike a Maps listing, an imprint gives you the **managing director, commercial-register entry and VAT ID** — the fields that identify the actual legal entity. ### Full DACH coverage Most imprint scrapers are Germany-only. This one handles **DE, AT and CH**: it rotates residential IPs across the three countries, parses German-, Austrian- and Swiss-format phone numbers, and recognises `DE`, `ATU` and `CHE` VAT IDs plus `HRB` / `HRA` / `FN` / `CHE` register numbers. ### Input | Field | What it is | |---|---| | **Company domains or imprint URLs** | One entry per company — bare domain (`trigema.de`), homepage URL, or a direct Impressum URL. One lead per domain. | | **Country** | `Auto` (rotate & infer) or force `DE` / `AT` / `CH`. | | **Max results** | Cap on leads this run. `0` = the whole list. | | **Proxy** | RESIDENTIAL by default (rotates DACH countries, retries a fresh IP on any block). | Example: ```json { "domains": ["trigema.de", "mymuesli.com", "example-gmbh.at"], "countryHint": "auto", "maxItems": 1000 } ```` ### Output One record per domain: | Field | Description | |---|---| | `domain` | The input company domain. | | `imprintUrl` | The discovered Impressum page. | | `companyName` | Company / site name. | | `email` | Contact email (prefers `mailto:`). | | `phone` | Contact phone (prefers `tel:`). | | `street`, `postalCode`, `city`, `country` | Postal address. | | `managingDirector` | Geschäftsführer / Vorstand / Inhaber. | | `registerCourt` | Amtsgericht / Registergericht / Firmenbuchgericht. | | `registerNumber` | HRB / HRA / FN / CHE commercial-register number. | | `vatId` | USt-IdNr / ATU / CHE VAT ID. | | `website` | The company website. | | `socialProfiles` | LinkedIn / Xing / Facebook / Instagram / X / YouTube links. | | `scrapedAt` | ISO timestamp. | | `status` | `ok` · `no_imprint_found` · `blocked` · `error`. | ### Pricing **Pay per result.** You are charged a single event **only for each successfully parsed imprint** (`status: ok`). Domains that are blocked, have no discoverable imprint, or error out are still returned so you can see them — but they are **never charged**. ### Limits - **Bring your own domains.** This is not a keyword-discovery tool — it does not find companies for you; it enriches the domain list you supply. - **Enterprise-WAF sites may block.** A minority of large brands sit behind aggressive bot walls (Cloudflare captcha, 403). Those come back `status: blocked` and are not charged. SMB imprints — the target lead — are clean, plain HTML. - **Extraction is best-effort.** Imprint layouts vary; a field the page doesn't publish comes back `null`. Email + at least one firmographic field (phone / VAT / register / director) is the norm for a clean SMB imprint. ### Legal This Actor reads only **statutory public disclosures** (Impressum / legal-notice pages that companies are legally required to publish). You are responsible for complying with each site's Terms of Service and with all applicable outreach/marketing law (GDPR, UWG, etc.) when contacting the leads. # Actor input Schema ## `domains` (type: `array`): One entry per company. Paste bare domains (e.g. "trigema.de"), full homepage URLs ("https://www.mymuesli.com") or direct Impressum URLs. The Actor discovers each site's Impressum/legal-notice page and extracts the firmographic contact fields. One lead per domain. ## `countryHint` (type: `string`): DACH country of the domains. Biases the proxy country and phone/VAT parsing. "Auto" rotates DE/AT/CH residential IPs and infers the country from the VAT ID / TLD. ## `maxItems` (type: `integer`): Cap on domains processed / leads returned this run (cost & speed guard). Default 1000; set 0 for the whole input list. ## `requestConcurrency` (type: `integer`): Max domains fetched in parallel. Higher = faster; keep modest to respect the sites. ## `proxyConfiguration` (type: `object`): Proxy settings. RESIDENTIAL is the default because some German hosts soft-block datacenter IPs; the Actor rotates DE/AT/CH countries and retries a fresh IP on any block. ## Actor input object example ```json { "domains": [ "trigema.de", "mymuesli.com" ], "countryHint": "auto", "maxItems": 1000, "requestConcurrency": 10, "proxyConfiguration": { "useApifyProxy": true, "apifyProxyGroups": [ "RESIDENTIAL" ] } } ``` # Actor output Schema ## `records` (type: `string`): The dataset of scraped DACH company leads (one item per domain). # API You can run this Actor programmatically using our API. Below are code examples in JavaScript, Python, and CLI, as well as the OpenAPI specification and MCP server setup. ## JavaScript example ```javascript import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client'; // Initialize the ApifyClient with your Apify API token // Replace the '' with your token const client = new ApifyClient({ token: '', }); // Prepare Actor input const input = { "domains": [ "trigema.de", "mymuesli.com" ], "countryHint": "auto", "maxItems": 1000 }; // Run the Actor and wait for it to finish const run = await client.actor("scrapersdelight/imprint-contact-scraper").call(input); // Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if any) console.log('Results from dataset'); console.log(`💾 Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/${run.defaultDatasetId}`); const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems(); items.forEach((item) => { console.dir(item); }); // 📚 Want to learn more 📖?
