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 ## WebLeadMiner — Email & Social Media Scraper Extract professional **emails** and **social media profiles** from any website. Multi-page crawling, 5 extraction strategies, 13 social networks — faster and cleaner than generic scrapers. --- ### What it does Give it a list of websites → get back a clean dataset of leads with: - ✅ Professional email addresses - ✅ LinkedIn, Facebook, Instagram, Twitter/X, TikTok, YouTube profiles - ✅ Phone numbers - ✅ Source URL for each lead - ✅ Zero duplicates — deduplication built-in ### Why LeadPulse beats generic scrapers | Feature | WebLeadMiner | |---|---| | Multi-page BFS crawling | ✅ Up to 100 pages/site | | Priority pages (contact, team, about) | ✅ Visited first | | Cloudflare email decode (XOR) | ✅ | | Obfuscated email detection (`[at]`, `(at)`) | ✅ | | JSON-LD structured data extraction | ✅ | | YouTube — official profile URLs only | ✅ | | Platform email filtering (Wix, Shopify…) | ✅ | | Social-only leads (profiles without email) | ✅ Optional | | Browser stealth (anti-bot) | ✅ | | MX DNS email verification | ✅ Built-in | --- ### Input ```json { "startUrls": [ { "url": "https://example.com" }, { "url": "https://another-company.fr" } ], "maxPagesPerDomain": 20, "maxDepth": 3, "socialNetworks": { "linkedin": true, "facebook": true, "instagram": true, "twitter": true, "tiktok": true, "youtube": true, "phone": true, "pinterest": false, "discord": false, "snapchat": false, "threads": false, "telegram": false, "reddit": false, "whatsapp": false }, "includeSocialOnly": true, "proxyConfiguration": { "useApifyProxy": false } } ```` #### 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). *** ### Output Each lead in the dataset: ```json { "email": "contact@example.com", "emailCategory": "pro", "socialOnly": false, "domain": "example.com", "sourceUrl": "https://example.com/contact", "socials": { "linkedin": "https://linkedin.com/company/example", "facebook": "https://facebook.com/examplepage", "instagram": "https://instagram.com/example", "twitter": "https://x.com/example", "tiktok": null, "youtube": "https://youtube.com/@example", "phone": "+33 1 23 45 67 89" } } ``` **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): ```json { "email": null, "socialOnly": true, "domain": "example.com", "sourceUrl": "https://example.com", "socials": { "instagram": "https://instagram.com/example", "tiktok": "https://tiktok.com/@example" } } ``` *** ### 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 *** ### Use cases - 🎯 **Lead generation** — find contact emails for outreach campaigns - 🔍 **Prospect research** — discover social profiles of target companies - 📊 **Market research** — build contact databases for a niche - 🤝 **Partnership outreach** — find decision-maker emails *** ### Legal This actor extracts only **publicly available** information from websites. Always comply with the target website's Terms of Service and applicable data protection laws (GDPR, CCPA).
