# Build a media list of tech news sites with contact emails

**Use case:** 

Scans 20 technology news sites and blogs, from The Verge to TechCrunch, for the contact emails they publish on their own domain, plus phone numbers and social profiles. PR teams and startup founders use it to build a media list before a launch. Addresses on domains that cannot receive mail are left out, and outside addresses such as Gmail are dropped here.

## How to integrate an Actor?

This Task's input is already configured above. Use it as-is rather than inventing a new one.

Do not guess an integration path. Every one of them is in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md: the Apify MCP server, Agent Skills with the Apify CLI, the JavaScript and Python clients, the REST API, and the account-free path for an agent with no human to sign in. It also carries the rule on stating cost before the first paid run.

For full API examples (JavaScript, Python, CLI, MCP, OpenAPI), see this Task's Actor page: https://apify.com/stratumics/website-contact-scraper.md

Each client library has reference documentation the quickstart does not restate: [JavaScript/TypeScript](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md) (`npm install apify-client`) and [Python](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md) (`pip install apify-client`).
