Input parameters

Parameter	Type	Default	Description
startUrls	Array	required	List of websites to scrape
maxPagesPerDomain	Integer	20	Max pages crawled per domain (1–100)
maxDepth	Integer	3	Link follow depth from start URL
socialNetworks	Object	see above	Which social platforms to extract
includeSocialOnly	Boolean	true	Include leads with social profiles but no email
verifyEmails	Boolean	false	MX DNS verification — eliminates invalid email domains (uses extra compute)
proxyConfiguration	Object	Apify proxy	Proxy settings — residential recommended

Email validation — free vs verified

	Free (default)	Verified (verifyEmails: true)
Syntax check	✅	✅
Email categorization (pro / generic / service)	✅	✅
Platform filter (Wix, Shopify emails…)	✅	✅
MX DNS record check	❌	✅
Extra cost	$0	Included — no extra charge

Why MX DNS matters — eliminates emails from expired or misconfigured domains before they damage your sending reputation. Emails that pass MX verification have an active mail server ready to receive messages.

✅ Email verification included at no extra cost — MX DNS check runs within normal compute time, no additional fees.

⚠️ Enabling MX DNS verification reduces the number of results — emails from domains without a valid MX record are discarded. Use this option when quality matters more than quantity (cold email campaigns, CRM imports).

  "emailCategory": "pro",
  "socialOnly": false,
  "domain": "example.com",
  "sourceUrl": "https://example.com/contact",
  "socials": {

  }
}

Email categories:

• pro — direct contact email (e.g. jean.dupont@acme.com)
• generic — department email (e.g. contact@, info@, hello@)
• service — service email (e.g. support@, admin@, abuse@)

Social Only lead (no email, but has profiles):

{
  "email": null,
  "socialOnly": true,
  "domain": "example.com",
  "sourceUrl": "https://example.com",

Pricing

Pay per result — not per page crawled.

You're only charged for leads actually found, never for empty pages.

Plan	Price
Per lead found	$5.00 / 1,000 leads
Actor start	$0.001

Competitors charge per page crawled — you pay even when a page returns nothing. WebLeadMiner charges only for results.

---

Tips for best results

More leads:

• Increase maxPagesPerDomain to 50–100 for large sites
• Enable all social networks
• Set includeSocialOnly: true to capture brands without public emails

Faster runs:

• Set maxPagesPerDomain to 5–10 for quick scans
• Set maxDepth to 1 for homepage only

Avoid blocks:

• For most sites, proxy is not required — the built-in browser stealth handles detection
• Use proxyConfiguration with Apify residential proxies only for heavily protected sites (Cloudflare Enterprise, Datadome)
• Don't run more than 5 concurrent actors on the same domain
