## What's an Apify Actor?

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.

# README

## Contact Enrichment Scraper

Turn a plain list of website domains into structured business contact data: emails, phone numbers, social profiles, postal addresses, and VAT / company registration numbers.

### Why use this actor?

You have domains — from a CRM export, a directory scrape, or a prospect list — and you need the actual contact details behind them. This actor visits each website, finds the pages where contact data lives (contact, about, impressum, team, legal), and returns one clean, aggregated record per domain. No login, no cookies, no API keys for the target sites.

Built for lead generation, sales prospecting, CRM enrichment, and B2B data teams that need reliable output instead of half-empty rows.

### What it extracts

- **Emails** — from `mailto:` links, page text, and obfuscated forms: `name [at] domain [dot] com`, HTML entities, and Cloudflare email-protection encoding are all decoded automatically
- **Phone numbers** — from `tel:` links, schema.org data, and page text, normalized to international `+`-prefixed format with the country inferred from the domain TLD
- **Social profiles** — LinkedIn, Facebook, Instagram, X (Twitter), YouTube, TikTok company pages (share/intent links are filtered out)
- **Postal addresses** — from schema.org JSON-LD `PostalAddress` objects and `<address>` tags
- **VAT numbers** — EU VAT IDs (BE, NL, DE, FR, IT, ES, PL, AT, and 20+ more formats)
- **Registration numbers** — HRB/HRA (Germany), KvK (Netherlands), SIRET/SIREN/RCS (France), KBO/BCE (Belgium), CVR (Denmark), Org.nr (Sweden/Norway), CIF (Spain), REGON (Poland), IČO (Czechia/Slovakia)
- **Company name** — from JSON-LD organization data, `og:site_name`, or the page title

Every extracted value comes with provenance: the `evidence` field lists the exact page URLs each email, phone, or address was found on, so you can verify anything before it goes into your CRM.

### How to scrape website contact data

1. Paste your domains into the **Domains** field (one per line — `acme.de` or `https://acme.de` both work), or pass full **Start URLs** instead
2. Optionally adjust **Max Pages per Domain** (default 10) — the homepage is always fetched first, then the crawler spends the remaining budget on the highest-value pages (contact, impressum, about, team, legal), with sitemap hints as a fallback
3. Run the actor and download the results as JSON, CSV, or Excel, or pull them via the Apify API
4. Each domain produces exactly one output item, so the dataset maps 1:1 to your input list

The crawler is HTTP-based (no headless browser), which makes it fast and cheap: a typical domain completes in a few seconds at roughly 10 page fetches.

### Input

| Field | Type | Required | Description |
|-------|------|----------|-------------|
| `domains` | Array | No* | Website domains to enrich, e.g. `["acme.de", "example.fr"]` |
| `startUrls` | Array | No* | Alternative: full URLs; the domain is derived from each |
| `maxPagesPerDomain` | Integer | No | Crawl budget per domain (default: 10, max: 50) |
| `maxDomains` | Integer | No | Safety cap on domains per run (default: 100) |
| `proxyConfiguration` | Object | No | Proxy settings (Apify datacenter proxies by default) |

*Provide either `domains` or `startUrls`. If both are empty, the actor runs on a small set of demo domains so you can inspect the output format.

### Output

One item per domain:

| Field | Type | Example |
|-------|------|---------|
| `domain` | String | `"acme.de"` |
| `website` | String | `"https://www.acme.de/"` |
| `companyName` | String | `"ACME GmbH"` |
| `emails` | Array | `["info@acme.de", "sales@acme.de"]` |
| `phones` | Array | `["+49301234567"]` |
| `socialProfiles` | Object | `{"linkedin": "https://linkedin.com/company/acme"}` |
| `socialLinks` | Array | All social URLs with platform labels |
| `addresses` | Array | `["Hauptstraße 1, 10115 Berlin, DE"]` |
| `vatNumbers` | Array | `["DE123456789"]` |
| `registrationNumbers` | Array | `["HRB 12345"]` |
| `evidence` | Object | Per-value `foundOn` page URLs |
| `pagesCrawled` | Integer | `8` |
| `crawledUrls` | Array | URLs of the crawled pages |
| `scrapedAt` | String | ISO 8601 timestamp |

### Example output

```json
{
    "domain": "sipgate.de",
    "website": "https://www.sipgate.de/",
    "companyName": "sipgate",
    "emails": ["info@sipgate.de", "presse@sipgate.de"],
    "phones": ["+4921159980"],
    "socialProfiles": {
        "linkedin": "https://www.linkedin.com/company/sipgate",
        "instagram": "https://www.instagram.com/sipgate"
    },
    "addresses": ["Gladbacher Str. 74, 40219 Düsseldorf, DE"],
    "vatNumbers": ["DE219349391"],
    "registrationNumbers": ["HRB 39841"],
    "evidence": {
        "emails": [
            { "value": "info@sipgate.de", "foundOn": ["https://www.sipgate.de/impressum"] }
        ]
    },
    "pagesCrawled": 9,
    "scrapedAt": "2026-06-11T10:00:00.000Z"
}
````

### Use cases

- **Sales prospecting** — enrich a target-account list with direct contact channels before outreach
- **CRM hygiene** — fill the gaps in existing records (missing phone, missing LinkedIn page)
- **B2B databases** — keep company registries up to date with verified VAT and registration numbers
- **Compliance checks** — confirm a supplier publishes a legal address and VAT ID (impressum data)
- **Agency lead gen** — qualify local businesses by checking which contact channels they actually publish

### Cost estimate

The actor uses lightweight HTTP crawling (no browser), so compute cost is low: typically **$0.10–0.30 in platform usage per 1,000 pages fetched**, which at the default 10-page budget means roughly 100 domains enriched per ~$0.25 of compute, plus per-result pricing.

### Tips for best results

- Keep the default `maxPagesPerDomain` of 10 for a good speed/coverage balance; raise it for large corporate sites with deep legal sections
- German, Austrian, and Swiss sites are gold: the legally required impressum almost always contains a phone number, address, VAT ID, and registry number
- Single-page JavaScript apps occasionally render contact data client-side only; the crawler still catches most of it via JSON-LD, meta tags, and raw script payloads, but a fully client-rendered site may return fewer fields
- Results are deduplicated and normalized: emails lowercased, phones in `+`-international format

### Limitations

- The actor reads publicly published data only — it does not guess or generate email patterns
- Fully client-rendered sites (no SSR, no JSON-LD) may yield fewer values
- Phone normalization infers the country from the domain TLD; numbers on `.com` domains without an explicit `+` prefix are skipped rather than guessed wrong
- Respect GDPR and the target websites' terms of service when processing personal data

### Need this data on a schedule, or a custom version?

We run this scraper as a managed service for businesses: scheduled runs,
deduplication, delta detection, and delivery to your inbox, Google Sheets,
or API — maintenance included. We can also build a custom version with your
exact fields and filters, or combine multiple sources into one feed.

We maintain 300+ European web scrapers and answer within one business day.

# Actor input Schema

## `domains` (type: `array`):

Website domains to enrich, one per line (e.g. 'acme.de' or 'https://acme.de'). The actor crawls the homepage plus contact, about, impressum, team and legal pages of each domain.

## `startUrls` (type: `array`):

Alternative to 'Domains': full website URLs. The domain is derived from each URL and crawled the same way.

## `maxPagesPerDomain` (type: `integer`):

Crawl budget per domain. The homepage is always fetched first; the remaining budget goes to the highest-value pages (contact, impressum, about, team, legal).

## `maxDomains` (type: `integer`):

Safety cap on the number of domains processed in one run.

## `proxyConfiguration` (type: `object`):

Proxy settings. Datacenter proxies work for most company websites; switch to residential if target sites block requests.
